Mambo Number 5: Monogamous Radio Edit
In 1999, with the release and subsequent short-lived popularity of Lou Bega's cover of "Mambo #5," The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Days Saints (More commonly known as "Mormonism" or "The LDS Church") owned Cincinatti Radio Station “Q102″ was faced with a dilemma; they worried that should their ties to the LDS Church become common knowledge while that song was popular, its perceived polygamous themes would possibly be connected to the LDS Church's historical association with the practice and be a cause for mockery of the station. For this reason, a unique edit was used on this station (and several other LDS Church-owned radio stations). Only a handful of recordings still exist, and its altered lyrics are transcribed below.
