<P> Caride recruited his two partners at Bayside Records, Mike "In The Night" Triay and Carlos de Yarza, to remix the original song . The new, English - language lyrics were written by Carlos de Yarza . The Bayside Boys, Triay and de Yarza, added a new dance beat specifically targeted to American and British audiences with English - language lyrics sung originally by a studio singer, then later during a concert tour by Carla Vanessa . Vanessa accepted a fixed - fee contract for her participation and live performances, and so does not receive any residual performer royalties . The finished version was called "Macarena (Bayside Boys Remix)." The Bayside Boys remix hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1996 and remained at the top of the chart for fourteen weeks . </P> <P> The reworked "Macarena (Bayside Boys remix)" spent 14 weeks at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, one of the longest runs atop the Hot 100 chart in history . The single spent its final week at No. 1 on its 46th week on the chart, recorded as the latest No. 1 single in Hot 100 history . Billboard ranked it as the No. 1 song for 1996 . In the United Kingdom the song was released in June 1996 and peaked at No. 2 on August 17, 1996, kept off the No. 1 spot by the huge popularity of the Spice Girls song "Wannabe ." In Australia, it was the number one song for 1996 . </P> <P> "Macarena" remained popular through 1996, but by the end of 1997, its popularity had diminished . The song stayed in the Hot 100 chart for 60 weeks, the longest reign among No. 1 songs, only surpassed fifteen years later by Adele's "Rolling in the Deep". The Bayside Boys remix includes a sample from Yazoo (also known in the United States as Yaz) track "Situation"--the laughter of Yazoo vocalist Alison Moyet . The chorus uses female vocal samples previously used by the Farm in their song "Higher and Higher (Remix)" from their album, Spartacus . The Bayside Boys toured the U.S. and the world, and featured singer Carla Vanessa . </P> <P> By 1997, the song had sold 11 million copies . While having only a 25% take in royalties from the song, Romero and Ruiz became immensely wealthy . According to the BBC News Service, during the year 2003 alone--a full decade after the song's initial release--Romero and Ruiz made USD $250,000 in royalties . Julio Iglesias is quoted as congratulating the duo personally: "My success singing in English from Miami is nothing compared to yours; coming out of Dos Hermanas with little international exposure elsewhere and selling these many records in Spanish takes two huge sets of cojones ." </P>
