Las Ketchup, Hijas Del Tomate

By Kyle Young

It says enough about this album that it has four versions of its single, “The Ketchup Song,” one of which is the Karaoke version. This song is being billed as the next “Macarena,” which begs two questions: Why would anybody want to cause another “Macarena?” And what does any of this have to do with Ketchup?

Either way, if you have some inexplicable need to buy an album with “The Ketchup Song” on it, I trust you already realize you have a serious condition and are being treated. For the rest of us, this is bad Spanish pop, and though I can’t understand the lyrics, I’m sure it would only make me angrier if I did. Unlike mainstream pop, this isn’t even well produced. I suspect that even Pringles wouldn’t use this in their commercials, and that says a lot.
