The hit song “Mayonesa,” which catapulted the Uruguayan band Chocolate to fame in the early 2000s, has recently been going viral on TikTok. However, it’s been for the wrong reasons. Accusations have circulated that the song’s lyrics carry sexual connotations, prompting Charly Sosa, a member of the band, to address the claims and clarify the song’s true meaning. 

Setting the Record Straight

In a TikTok video, Sosa responded to the rumors, stating, “I was asked to clarify the rumors circulating about the song ‘Mayonesa,’ of which I am the original performer. As you know, the performer works directly with the composer. Some of the composers of ‘Mayonesa’ have made this clarification.”

Sosa expressed frustration over the misinterpretation, emphasizing, “Don’t be mean. I know that today everything is searched for in a sexual context, everything is aimed at diminishing and discrediting. Don’t be mean, ‘Mayonesa’ is wholesome. In 2000, we didn’t have digital platforms, and the lyrics we wrote were clean. There were no references to drugs or incitement to drugs. They didn’t demean women. They were stories happening in the disco.” 

He explained the song’s origins, saying, “In Uruguay, our mothers make homemade mayonnaise by whisking in a bowl. That’s what the song refers to. She kills me like making mayonnaise. The guy has had a few drinks too many, and she turns him around and dances, which is what the lyrics describe.” 

Sosa highlighted his pride in how “Mayonesa” has become a staple at Latino parties and gatherings, even being danced by children in schools. Given its significant cultural impact, he felt it was crucial to address the misunderstanding and set the record straight. 

‘Mayonesa’ Is a Clean Song

Sosa criticized the allegations, stating, “This song has become a global hit. It’s really unpleasant to suggest that it speaks about masturbation or that the choreography refers to it. I wish we could go back to making wholesome songs that had nothing to do with drugs or the mistreatment of women.” 

Concluding his message, Sosa reaffirmed, “I needed to make this clarification. ‘Mayonesa’ is super wholesome; it does not reference masturbation, and neither does the choreography. It refers to the homemade mayonnaise our moms make. We continue to whip up ‘Mayonesa’ around the world after 24 years.”
