The lyrics referred to the medicine prescribed to him, which causes hallucinations of the girls he mentions in the song. A parody of commercials for the fictional product is also heard. Legacy The original recording by Pérez Prado was inducted into the Latin Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001. This song was initially selected as the theme song of the 2000 Democratic National Convention, but this plan was scrapped due to the possibility of people associating the song with Monica Lewinsky, who had a central role in the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal, with the chorus, "A little bit of Monica in my life". The Lou Bega version has become associated with the England cricket team and Test cricket after it was used by UK broadcaster Channel 4 as the theme for their live coverage of England Test matches between 1999 and 2005; the music also accompanied the return of cricket to the channel during the 2021 India–England series. Having been particularly famous during the 2005 Ashes series won by England, the song is still played today by the England cricket fans, the 'Barmy Army'.
