I just ruined Eddie’s childhood, and I’m going to ruin yours next.
If you had a pulse when this song came out in the 90s, you know the Macarena. Literally, every single person on earth did. It just wasn’t the 90s without this absolute gem of a banger. We went berserk when we heard it and everyone did that stupid dance, too. We couldn’t help it, I get it. I’m guilty of doing it and I hate myself for it. Even politicians were doing it. It’s so cringe but I can’t stop laughing.
I told you. People just completely lost their sh*t when this song came on. It’s like they lost all control of their bodies and sense of reality. If you didn’t know any better you’d think they were under a spell like the Sanderson sisters put on those people in the movie Hocus Pocus.
The 90s were WILD, man.
So as we’re all dancing our faces off and having a grand ol’ time thinking this is a feel-good song, we are completely somehow carelessly unaware that the Macarena has a dark truth: this Macarena girl is cheating on her boyfriend… with his TWO FRIENDS! Don’t believe me? I break the whole thing down, take a listen:
How did we not realize this?! While we’re shakin’ it to this song at middle school dances, weddings, church gatherings, you name it, this Macarena girl is laughing and bragging about having a 3-way with her good-for-nothing boyfriend Vitorino’s best friends.
So there you have it. The real raunchy truth behind the meaning of the Macarena and you’ll never think of the song the same way again. You’re welcome.
