People Keep Getting Lou Bega Confused With Lou Reed, And It’s Pretty Funny
Lou Reed sang “Mambo No. 5,” right? Wrong.
2. Not Lou Reed, of Velvet Underground fame.
3. But when Lou Reed sadly passed away this week, Lou Bega was inundated with messages of condolences instead.
So he posted this picture up on his Facebook page to prove he is indeed alive.
5. Which led to comments on Twitter like these.

RIP Lou Reed. "Who is he?" "Isn't he the guy who sung Mambo No 5?" "Erm, no that was Lou Bega."

Those people mixing up Lou Reed and Lou Bega better not be writing prescriptions when they grow up. I don't even want them making fast food.
