The Mambo Craze Lyrics

<i>Rip 'em up. My heart is filled with blankness. Oh, look, the orchestra is getting ready. Dance with me, George. </i>

Check the scene outside of Medellin
Mixed guys and dark men at the bars
Mambo's slow Guantanamo
Went too far in Bogota
Went too far in Bogota

Space cake break at the Titicaca lake

A little weak, a little pale today
Looks like it's time for that certain holiday

<i> Oh, look, my heart is filled with blankness. The orchestra's getting ready. Dance with me, George. </i>

A little weak, a little pale today
Looks like it's time for that certain holiday (x4)

Check the scene outside of Medellin
(A little weak, a little pale today
Looks like it's time for that certain holiday)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

from http://www.gullbuy.com/buy/2002/12_24/dephaz.php:

The CD starts off with the extended version of The Mambo Craze. When The Mambo Craze first appeared on their second record Godsdog I loved the track. The new version is quite fine. It adds a few voice samples. I wish I could identify them all! I did recognize Ricky Ricardo saying 'Why Lucy, your eyes are filled with tears' and Jane Jetson saying 'The orchestra's getting ready. Dance with me George.' There are a few echo effects added to the music and vocals of the song as well. The Mambo Craze is a very attractive song, no doubt.
