March 11, 2008
Brace yourself: Though you may have survived La Macarena, prepare yourselves for the Chiki Chiki dance, a Spanish joke-song that's climbing the international dance charts. It falls into the “Reggaeton-light” category of music and is sung and performed by the character, Señor Rodolfo Chikilicuatre.

I love it. Regardless of it's connotations; it's one country showing good spirits and be able to sit back and laugh at themselves. I wish more people knew about it!
