A man has taken to social media to reveal the true meaning of the lyrics behind the hit 90s track 'Macarena.'

The revelation was made after a TikTok user going by the handle @peakay81 posted a video on the platform which he captioned:

"Tell me a song that you listened to when you were younger and you grew up and realized it's really dirty."

In the video in question, @peakay81 spoke about the classic Spanish dance song 'Macarena', written by Los del Río and later remixed by The Bayside Boys, which boasts some surprisingly scandalous lyrics.

The TikTok user stated that the song is really about "a woman whose boyfriend is about to join the army.

"She, when he’s away, has a threesome with his two best mates. No joke, Google it, what the f***?"

Indeed, according to LyricsTranslate, the song does feature a verse where a woman (presumably the eponymous Macarena herself) states:

"But don't you worry about my boyfriend,
He's a boy whose name is Vitorino.
I don't want him,
Couldn't stand him,
He was no good so I...

Now, come on, what was I supposed to do?
He was out of town and his two friends were so fine."

Suffice it to say, a number of other TikTok were shocked by the song's x-rated content, and many took to the comments of @peakay81's to lambast him for "ruining" the track for them.
