Lou Bega is touring around the world, since his smash-hit "Mambo Nr. 5" became a sensation, only for german radio-channels. Later it became a world-wide phenomenon, wchich let people freak out of their minds, when they're hearing only the opening of that song in the year 2019. He would've been on tour even today, if Covid-19 weren't a thing in this year. But Psy's "Gangnam Style" lost it's popularity a few months later, after it became a world-wide sensation.

Rarely does a pop tune have such universal appeal that it's able to get young crowds and older more serious crowds moving nowadays.
