Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga I know you can't control yourself any longer Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga I know you can't control yourself any longer. Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga I know you can't control yourself any longer Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger Don't you fight it till you've tried it Do the conga beat Everybody gather 'round now let your body feel the heat. Don't you worry if you can't dance let the music move your feet. It's the rhythm of the island and like sugarcane, so sweet. If you want to do the conga you've got to listen to the beat. Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga I know you can't control yourself any longer Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga I know you can't control yourself any longer Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga I know you can't control yourself any longer. Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger Don't you fight it till you've tried it Do the conga beat Conga (Yeah!) Do the conga Come on, come on, come on now Do the conga beat

Song Production Information
good-cool
This is a cover of the 1986 Gloria Estefan (Miami Sound Machine) Mexican hit. I had great pleasure in retaining the original Latin flavor of the song while adding elements of house to it.
I hope you are pleased with the hot and exciting arrangement of this song.
Video Production Information
VJ GYO
The powerful tune of this song was arranged by good-cool, with the energy of an "activating engine", causing an uncontrollable urge to dance, as expected for something made by good-cool.
The "swift" movements of the professional dancers throughout the movie also convey this effectively.
I recommend playing the song in 2P and LIGHT7 modes with two people, so you can sense the exciting rhythm flow through your bodies (Although this may initially seem embarrassing, if you play it with your friends and forget about yourself, you will feel happier.)
