90s Trivia: Who sang the Macarena?

Is there anything more 90s than the Macarena?  I did that dance at so many Bar Mitzvah's and awkward Middle School dance's that I can still do it - in my sleep.  The classic hit is one of the most memorable hits on the 90s - even if it did start to drive you a little nuts.  But, what is largely unknown, at least by many Americans, is this: who the heck sung that song?

So, off of Pocket Trivia: 90s Trivia - Who sang the Macarena?  Was it Menudo, Bayside Boys, Monge or Los Del Rio?

The correct answer is Los Del Rio.  The duo, comprised of Antonio Monge and Rafael Perdigones, has been active since 1993 and still performs today.  The Macarena was, without fail, their biggest hit - in fact, it holds the record for longest time a debut single spent at #1 (14 weeks...can you imagine...14 weeks of the Macarena).

Now - dance!!
