    Anyone remember Lou Bega? He came out with the song "Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit Of...)" in 1999. Anyways, I have always found his story interesting. He appears to be African American. Maybe a jazz singer from Kansas City or New Orleans. But he isn't. He's German. He was born in Munich, Germany in 1975. But he does that American accent so perfectly. Even his mannerisms seem spot on. That's not easy to do. It's almost impossible to lose your accent when you learn a new language.

    I think his first language is German, isn't it? How did he pick up that accent so well? And does anyone know what he looks like and sounds like when he's not pretending to be an American?
