Chacarron Macarron
"Chacarron" (often known as "Chacarron Macarron" or "Shark Around"[3]) is a song by Panamanian artists Rodney Clark (El Chombo) and Andres de la Cruz (also known as Andy's Val Gourmet). It is a reworking of the original version from 2003 by Andy's Val Gourmet, who is credited as 'Andy's Val' on the release.[4] A cover by Yahari appears as the first track of their 2005 album Las + Bailables de .... Yahari.[5] El Chombo and Andy's Val Gourmet's version reached the top 20 on the UK Singles Chart in December 2006.[6] The song was included on the compilation Now That's What I Call Music! 65 of the UK series.[7] It was used as walk up music before at bats by José Reyes when he played for the New York Mets,[8] and is also included in the 2021 dance video game Just Dance 2022.[9] Andy's Val Gourmet died of cardiac arrest on September 11, 2023, as announced on El Chombo's Instagram.[10] Composition and lyrics"Chacarron" is a Panamanian reggaeton song which samples "The Breaks" by Kurtis Blow during the bridge sections.[11] The song is known for its mostly unintelligible lyrics. Internet popularityThe song gained attention online when the chorus was used on a YTMND page by the name of "Ualuealuealeuale" which was created in 2005 by a user named MowtenDoo. It contained a .gif of Batman played by Adam West being drugged in a scene from the 1966 series' first episode. The page also gained popularity on YouTube with a reupload of it gaining millions of views.[12][13] "Chacarron Macarron" became a popular viral on the Internet owing to its nonsensical lyrics and odd music video. The lyrics mostly consist of gibberish.[14] The "uale" noise earned de la Cruz (Andy Val) the nickname of "The Mute" ("El Mudo" in Spanish), but due to a mispronunciation, he also earned the nickname of "El Mundo", and the song was subsequently used in numerous viral videos and YouTube poops during the mid-2000s, late 2000s and onward.[13] One particular video involved a loop of Nintendo character Mario headbanging from a Singapore Airlines advertisement.[15] The song was also used as part of the Hurr-Durr JavaScript trojan in 2009.
