Do you know the origin of 'Aserehe ra de re' from Rouge's music?

In 2002, it was impossible to call on the radio and not hear the chorus “Aserehe ra de re / De hebe tu de hebere seibiunouba mahabi / An bugui an de buididipi” and not go out dancing the choreography. The excerpt is part of the song “Asejeré” by the Spanish group Las Ketchup.

In the same year, Brazilian girl band Rouge made a version of the song, which tells the story of a boy named Diego who arrives at a party full of magic and trickery, so the DJ plays his favorite song. Diego begins to sing along, but the verses are almost unpronounceable.

But did you know that they do have a meaning? The most desired song is called "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang rap trio . It was launched in 1979 in the United States and was one of the responsible for the popularization of the musical genre in the country. So much that was elected In the lyrics, you can hear:

I said a hip hop, the hippie, the hippie
to the hip hop hop ya don't stop
the rockin to the bang bang bang boogie said up jumps the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie the beat.

Do not believe? Check out the play (the section starts from 33 seconds):

That is, Diego from Rouge and Las Ketchup's music are people like us, who rock the embromation when their favorite song starts playing! And this is not even the only reference of the song, which has samplers copied in countless other songs, such as “2345meia78”, by Gabriel the Thinker, for example.

“Rapper's Delight” also appears in the series “Everybody Hates Chris, ” with the main character rocking the tongue twister correctly:

Already in the series “Scrubs”, the group itself Sugarhill Gang appears singing their greatest success during a hallucination of JD (Zach Braff):

Cool huh? In addition to these references, countless others have used passages reminiscent of the trio's success. So maybe Rouge's and Las Ketchup's songs sounded so familiar when they came out and ended up becoming the biggest hit. Our subconscious already knew them!
