This was the version that was a huge hit in Canada, because of CanCon rules that stated that Canadian artists got more airtime than their non-Canadian counterparts.

@TwoMarshmallows1

It also charted in Australia, although the version with English lyrics was more popular.

@Bored-Music

Ok, all my life I had no idea there was this version and the Los Del Rio version until right now. I thought they were the same song. Being Canadian this is the one that I heard most growing up. Damn

@florvaquera7145

There is a newer version from a few years back from gente de zona y los del rio called mas macarena
