This one really should have fallen under last month's theme, but I completely forgot to include it. It's extra famous for two scenes. The one above is from The Mask, starring Jim Carrey, and the other is a performance Lucy and Ricky on I Love Lucy. They performed it in season 1 during the third episode.
This Cuban rumba was originally penned by Joseph Norman, but Desi Arnaz, who played Ricky Ricardo, was the one to popularize the song. He starred in a movie of the same name and even performed the tune late in life on Saturday Night Live. He was the guest host, and after performing the song, he led the cast of the show in a conga line through the studio.
