"Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" is the third single off Backstreet Boys' 1999 album, Millennium. It is a significant hit, second only to the first single I Want It That Way from the same album, becoming one of the most successful singles of the boy band. It was released on December 10, 1999, the video was released in early 2000 and peaked at #3 on the UK Singles Chart, and #6 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also reached #2 in Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden and New Zealand, and #3 in Finland and Norway. ^[1] The song was the groups second worldwide number one.The song also earned a Grammy award nomination during the 42nd Grammy Awards for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

The music video for "Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely" was directed by Stuart Gosling from December 11-12, 1999 in Los Angeles, CA. It follows each of the band members separately until the instrumental break and final choruses.

The video begins at a hospital, in which Brian Littrell watches doctors try to save a patient, also portrayed by Littrell. A. J. McLean's scenes take place on a coach bus, mourning the loss of a girl whose photo he carries. He sees her appear on the bus, but she fades away. Kevin Richardson watches an old-age film of himself and his father in an apartment. Nick Carter walks down a city street in the rain and saves a girl from almost being hit by the bus McLean is on. Howie Dorough drinks from a teacup at an old-style bar as a girl in red runs towards him, but fades away before she reaches him.

Richardson arrives to meet Dorough and the two leave the building together. McLean's bus arrives, and Littrell exits the hospital. The five band members congregate and begin walking down the street together.

Most of the video is shot in a desaturated scheme in which only certain red elements were brightly colored, until the very end of the video when the band walks out of the city into a brightly coloured field. Whereas each band member has a lead vocal part in the song, each of their separate scenes is introduced at or just before their verse begins.

The video, somewhat darker in tone than any of the band's previous releases, touches on several of the band's real-life issues. Littrell had undergone open heart surgery the previous year for a defect he'd had since birth. The video used actual footage of Richardson and his deceased father. The girl Dorough sees represents his sister, who died a year earlier. Additionally, the bus McLean rides is marked for "Denniz St.", and is driven by an actor who resembles Denniz PoP; PoP had died in 1998.

A second cut of the video was released some time after the first. The video added a dedication before the video: "This video is dedicated to Denniz POP [sic], and to all those who have lost a loved one". The second cut also altered the special effect used when the girls disappear from a fade in which the girls' shape distorts in a "ripple" effect to just fading away

"The Ketchup Song" is the English title of the song "Aserejé", performed by the Spanish pop group Las Ketchup, which was an international hit in 2002. The song exists in two versions, Spanish and a version in a mixture of English and Spanish, described as "Spanglish". The chorus is identical in both versions. This song reached #1 in the UK charts, as well as 26 other charts worldwide.

Lyrics and music

The song tells the story of a pimp-like "afro-gipsy, rastafari" character named Diego who walks into a crowded nightclub at midnight, and the DJ, as he sees Diego walk in, plays the "twelve-o'clock anthem", "the song he desires most", which happens to be the 1979 rap hit "Rapper's Delight" by Sugarhill Gang. The first verse of Rapper's Delight: "I say the hip hop, the hippie...", pronounced phonetically in Spanish the way it would sound to someone who does not understand English, becomes the chorus of The Ketchup Song. Although technically meaningless and sometimes referred to as gibberish, the chorus is a more-or-less phonetic pronunciation of the first verse almost in its entirety.^{[citation needed]}

I said a hip hop, the hippie, the hippie

Aserejé ja de jé de jebe

do the hip hip hop, a you don't stop

tu de jebere sebiunouva

the rockin' to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie

majabi an de bugui

to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat

an de buididipí

The song was performed by a three-girl Spanish group called Las Ketchup, and had a distinctive accompanying dance known as "The Ketchup Dance". The song is performed in 180 beats per minute and in the key
