MARCHING BANDS CRAZY FOR `LIVING LA VIDA LOCA'

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (Wireless Flash) -- You may be sick of hearing Ricky Martin's "Living La Vida Loca," but don't expect to get away from it anytime soon. The song is expected to be a big hit with high school marching bands this football season. According to Hal Leonard Music, which sells sheet music to marching bands, latin pop songs such as "Living La Vida Loca" and "Mambo No. 5" are selling like mad. A spokesman claims advance orders of the marching band version of "Living La Vida Loca" have been overwhelming, and may surpass sales of "The Macarena," which has been the most popular marching band song of the decade. Other popular tunes include "Jump, Jive And Wail," "Zoot Suit Riot" and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's "You And Me And The Bottle Makes Three" -- retitled "You And Me" by the sheet music company to avoid promoting high school alcohol use.
