"The Ketchup Song (Aserejé)" is the debut single by Spanish pop group Las Ketchup, taken from their debut studio album Hijas del Tomate (2002). It was released on June 10, 2002, and became an international hit later that year.

In addition to the original Spanish version, the song exists in forms with Spanglish and Portuguese verses, although the nonsensical chorus is identical in all three versions. This song reached number one in the United Kingdom, as well as 26 other countries worldwide. As of 2006, the song has sold over 7 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling singles of all time.[1]

The song tells the story of a pimp-like gypsy (afrogitano) with mystical qualities. The song's dance routine was a novelty in the early 2000s. Furthermore, the song and its dance moves were featured in the 2012 game Just Dance 4.

In Sing, a group of spiders sang this song as their audition for Buster Moon's singing competition. The audio of their performance was included in the Sing: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack on the track "Auditions".

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mira lo que se avecina
A la vuelta de la esquina
Viene Diego rumbeando
Con la luna en las pupilas
Y su traje agua marina
Parece de contrabando

[Pre-Chorus]
Y donde mas no cabe un alma
Alli se mete a darse caña
Poseido por el ritmo ragatanga
Y el D.J. que lo conoce
Toca el himno de las doce
Para Diego la cancion mas deseada
Y la baila, y la goza y la canta

[Chorus]
Aserejé ja de je
De jebe tu de jebere
Sebiunouva
Majabi an de bugui
An de buididipí
Aserejé ja de je
De jebe tu de jebere
Sebiunouva
Majabi an de bugui
An de buididipí
Aserejé ja de je
De jebe tu de jebere
Sebiunouva
Majabi an de bugui
An de buididipí

[Verse 2]
No es cosa de brujería
Que lo encuentre tos los dias
Por donde voy caminando
Diego tiene chuleria
Y ese punto de alegria
Rastafari afrogitano

[Pre-Chorus]
Y donde mas no cabe un alma
Alli se mete a darse caña
Poseido por el ritmo ragatanga
Y el D.J. que lo conoce
Toca el himno de las doce
Para Diego la cancion mas deseada
Y la baila, y la goza y la canta

[Chorus]
Aserejé ja de je
De jebe tu de jebere
Sebiunouva
Majabi an de bugui
An de buididipí
Aserejé ja de je
De jebe tu de jebere
Sebiunouva
Majabi an de bugui
An de buididipí
Aserejé ja de je
De jebe tu de jebere
Sebiunouva
Majabi an de bugui
An de buididipí

[Bridge]
A nanana, nanana, nananana, na!
A nanana, nananana, na!
A nanana, nanana, nananana, na!
A nananay, ay, ay, ay, yo!
A nanana, nanana, nananana, na!
A nanana, nananana, na!
A nanana, nanana, nananana, na!
A nananay, ay, ay, ay, yo! (oh!)

[Chorus]
Aserejé ja de je
De jebe tu de jebere
Sebiunouva
Majabi an de bugui
An de buididipí
Aserejé ja de je
De jebe tu de jebere
Sebiunouva
Majabi an de bugui
An de buididipí
Aserejé ja de je
De jebe tu de jebere
Sebiunouva
Majabi an de bugui
An de buididipí
