Have you heard of Las Ketchup? What is it famous for?

It is a Spanish girl group, famous for the 2002 hit single “The Ketchup Song”

‘The Ketchup Song (Aserejé)’ was the stunning debut single by Spanish pop group Las Ketchup, taken from their debut studio album Hijas del Tomate (2002). The band seemed primed and ready to be one-hit-wonders, with all their tomato themed imagery lining up perfectly. The song was released on 10 June 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. Nonsensical… or satanic. 

To the common ear, the song tells the story of a travelling man with mystical qualities, which heavily references ‘Rapper’s Delight’. However, after its release, the song became controversial due to conspiracy theories that the lyrics were cryptic references to Satanism, the devil, Hell, and a whole smorgasbord of other excitingly evil things.
