"Encore une fois" / "Ecuador" / "Stay" - Sash!
Mate, we're not saying that all three of your hit singles follow the same formula and are completely interchangeable.
He didn't win a Smash Hits award - Best Dance Act went to Eternal (!). Some of the folk who did:
Backstreet Boys - Best Foreign Group, Album, Video
Louise - Most Fanciable Female, Best Solo Female Singer, Best Dressed Female
Kavana - Best Solo Male Singer -
"Child" - Mark Owen
With Ronan Keating and Stephen Gateley presenting, this is the ceremonial handover of Most Fanciable Male in Pop ahead of Sunday's Smash Hits awards.
A backstage report from TCC's Lucie Cave, you say? But of course!

Anyway, a chap from the BBC Spanish Service wrote to Smash Hits about the translation of the lyric, and suggested that "la bamba" is the name of the dance, and perhaps shouldn't be translated as "the goat". He agreed that the lyric made little sense in Spanish or English.

Jings! Jings! Jings! Jings! Los Lobos are still number one with "La bamba".
Smash Hits gave a very loose translation of the lyric. "To dance the goat you need to have a little gracefulness", and so on.
If you're bored - perhaps stuck indoors with a fractured wrist - you might tweak the scansion of these mistranslated lines to fit the tune.
