In 1999, Lou Bega scored a 1-hit wonder with a remake of Perez Prado's "Mambo #5". Bega's still trading off that song today.
A couple of years later, the producers of the British children's show, Bob The Builder, which has been seen here in the US on PBS & Nickelodeon, decided to retool the lyrics (pun intended), substituting the names of the women in the lyrics for various tools.
So let's scope out a construction worker's boppin' anthem.....
Yes, I found this hysterical. We'll have a full review on Bob The Builder and some other modern British toons another day. Anyway, this "Mambo" hit #1 in England, and also found the top 10 in Ireland & Australia.

Me used to watch this on Nick Jr. back in 2001-2002.
Not sure who has the rights now, but thank God Chumptoon Network never got its hands on it.
Well, PBS currently owns the rights to it since 2005.
And commissioned a revamped version of the series in 2015.
