Before there were TikTok dances, there was the “Macarena.” It played at every school dance, Bar Mitzvah, graduation, and birthday in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Released in 1996, it spent over 14 weeks on the top 100 and has remained in our hearts ever since. While it has become a slightly nostalgic household name alongside The Hustle or The Electric Slide, there’s an argument to be made that the Macarena has never felt more now.
In its original iteration, the “Macarena” is a flirtatious song, with lyrics like “they can’t have me/So they all come and dance beside me.” The music video shows a bevy of babes in the era’s fab fashions, along with the two original singers, Antonio Romero Monge and Rafael Ruiz Perdigones of the group Los Del Rio. The hip-shaking ladies are in itty-bitty booty shorts, go-go boots, slick suits, and all-things midriff-revealing. Slice and dice it, and it could easily live on TikTok.
The Macarena remake coincides with the early aughts frenzy in fashion. Bellies are becoming barer. Pants are dangerously low-slung. Tops are tighter. Colors are blindingly bright and prints are kaleidoscopic. Fashion has become a perpetual party of maximalist nostalgia, and TikTok is a great medium to showcase it. Besides, doing the Macarena sounds like the perfect challenge to show off your best, sauciest clothes.
Why. Just why. 🤪
