Music Monday – “Ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa/Ma ma se, ma ma sa/Ma ma coo sa”

Back from a week in Mexico and will likely do some resort-themed posts over the next few days starting with this one…

And my big thought of the day is – I really have no idea why most Cancun resorts have a Michael Jackson impersonator as one of their nightly shows when you never see anyone else – Elvis, Beatles, Stones, Shania Twain, Cher – only Michael Jackson who we’ve probably seen being impersonated at half of the resorts we’ve been to.

Is it because Jackson is bigger than other acts in Latin America? Is it a licensing issue?  (Considering how many knock-off Disney/superhero shows we see, I’m guessing not.)  Is he seen as having the widest appeal to different age groups?  Is he just a more fun, energetic show than some of the others would be?  Better options for costumes?  Is there a secret society of Jackson impersonators that get plastic surgery and then work for all these resorts?  (There has to be multiple impersonators right?  So many resorts with the same show even if they rotate nights couldn’t possibly be up to one person?!?)

Anyhow, I’ve got this song in my head…

“Wanna Be Starting Something” – Michael Jackson
