How The "Macarena" Changed My Life

We’ve all heard it. We all know the moves. But do we know what it really means?
“Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Que tu curepo es pa’ darle alegria y cosa buena
Dale tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Hey, Macarena!”
Translated, these powerful lyrics mean:
“Give your body pleasure, Macarena.
Because your body is for giving pleasure and good things
Give your body pleasure, Macarena
Hey, Macarena!”
The message of this influential ballad rings true in all aspects of my life. Before I heard this wondrous ditty, I led a lethargic lifestyle filled with the constant consumption of delicious desserts, porterhouse steaks, fried chicken, and piña coladas. After feasting, I would retire to the comfort of my couch where I would stay for days on end. Little did I know, I was giving my body displeasure! Once I heard the song, the message inspired me to get off the couch and change my ways by giving my body the pleasure and good things it deserves! Now I am an active teenager, participating in activities such as miming while pursuing my dream of attending Clown College. I hold seminars at local middle schools telling the students my story with the hope of inspiring them to get off the couch and dance to the moral of the “Macarena”. All of my future successes in life, I owe to Los Del Rio for their inspirational and brilliant message which has motivated me to reach for the stars. If only everyone appreciated the significance of the “Macarena”. Hey, Macarena.
