Do the KETCHUP DANCE! (Eurodance - macarena ALERT!)

Do the ketchup
Las Ketchup ... starting a new dance craze

Also in today's Bizarre
Noel's minders roughed me up
Hayley: I am gone on Gareth
Madeley's makeover

IT’S a dance craze you can’t have missed if you were on holiday in Europe this summer – now it’s on its way here too.

The Ketchup Song by LAS KETCHUP is, dare I say it, the new Macarena.

Sung in Spanglish, it could turn into the most irritating hit of the year – which is saying something with the current charts.

La Ketchup are three sort-of-gorgeous sisters (think a poor man’s Corrs meets Fuengirola apartment cleaners) called PILAR, LOLA and LUCIA, from southern Spain.

The saucy trio were named Ketchup because their dad is a hugely-famous flamenco guitarist called TOMATE (oh, the crazy world of Europop).

The Ketchup Song has been No1 in Spain, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland and Sweden.

It will probably top the charts here too when it is released on September 30.

And love it or loathe it, it will have you on the dancefloor in seconds – just follow the pictures below to make sure you get it right.

To hear the infectious Ketchup Song for yourself phone the number at the bottom of the page.

How to do it

1
Cross hands across torso, alternate your left hand over right hand x 6

2
Hitch a ride to the right and repeat to the left

3
Move both arms in small circular motions over your head

4
Move right hand to front of head and left hand to back of head

5
With hands to front and back of head, move knees together and away from each other x 4

6
Now just wiggle!

DANG! Hit "Post" instead of "Preview" So I didn't get the pictures of the group and the dance. I'll post in a reply.

In the meantime...

just letting FReepers know I'm making this post as a public service to keep us on the cutting edge of breaking world news...

as well as warning against another "Macarena" type invasion, and...

Getting to scope out a pretty cool loking girl group! Hehehehehe!

They're pretty cute. I'll bet they will be on TV hawking multi-coloured ketchup in multi-coloured mini dresses within a year.

Just another excuse to have scantily dressed women move in suggestive ways.

Cool.
