--The Ketchup Song (2002)--




"The Ketchup Song" is the English title of the song "Aserejé" which was an international hit in 2002. The song exists in two versions, Spanish and English, with the latter performed in a mixture of English and Spanish, described as "Spanglish", but better suited would be "phonetic English". This song reached #1 in the UK charts, as well as 26 other charts worldwide.
