"Bidi bidi bom bom" is a song by American Tejano pop singer Selena from her album ''Amor prohibido'' (1994). The album's second single, "Bidi bidi bom bom" was written by Selena and Pete Astudillo. It was produced by A.B. Quintanilla III – Selena's brother – and Bebu Silvetti. It was released on 13 August 1994 in the United States. It was picked up by Tejano, rhythmic contemporary and Contemporary Latin radio stations. "Bidi bidi bom bom", regarded as Selena's signature song, was an unplanned song. After its first draft by Selena, the unfinished song was performed during her Entre a mi mundo Tour from 1992 to 1993. Selena wanted to see her fans' reaction before completing it. Despite the positive reaction of her fans, the song was not recorded at the time. It was modified to a roots reggae style to become accessible for Hispanics who were unfamiliar with her music. It won the award for "Most Performed Song of the Year" at the 1996 Broadcast Music Incorporated Latin Awards. At the 1994 Tejano Music Awards, "Bidi bidi bom bom" won "Song of the Year", while at the 2010 ceremony, it won "Best 1990s Song". "Bidi bidi bom bom" received unanimous positive reviews from contemporary music critics. The song had extensive airplay in the United States, peaking at No. 1 on ''Billboard'' Hot Latin Tracks, the second consecutive number-one single from ''Amor prohibido''. Selena had promoted the song during three world concerts, including the Entre A Mi Mundo Tour (1992–93), Selena Live! Tour (1993–94), and the Amor Prohibido Tour (1994–95). The accompanying music video was released on 10 May 1994, on the major Spanish-language television channels and received positive reviews from music critics. "Bidi bidi bom bom" has been covered by many artists since its release. == Background and production == "Bidi bidi bom bom", one of the first songs composed for Selena's fifth studio album ''Amor prohibido'' (1994), is regarded as Selena's signature song.〔 〕 It was written by Selena and backup dancer Pete Astudillo before being arranged by Roger Emerson.〔EMI Telvisia (1995) ''Selena – Amor Prohibido (Liner Notes)'' EMI Records〕 The song was produced by Selena's brother and music producer A.B. Quintanilla, her father and manager Abraham Quintanilla, Jr. and Bebu Silvetti; Brain "Red" Moore, a family friend, mixed the song. Selena recorded the song at Q-Productions, her father's recording studio, in Corpus Christi, Texas.〔 Due to the support of her previous album, ''Entre a mi mundo'' (1992), during the Entre a mi mundo Tour (1992–1993), Selena decided to sing a song which she had recently written.〔 Initially, the song described a fish swimming freely in the ocean. Originally dubbed "Little Bidi Bubbles", then "Little Bubbles" and "Swim Swim Swim!", the song was a combination of roots reggae and cumbia music.〔 It was used for sound checks at the band's rehearsals.〔 Selena wanted to witness her fans' reactions to the song before completing it. Despite her fans' positive reactions, this version was not recorded following the tour. While gathering inspiration to release an exotic progressive album to help expand Selena's fan base, A.B. decided to complete "Little Bidi Bubbles". A.B. had wanted to finish the song as a Caribbean reggae song mixed with Colombian cumbia to attract fans from Latin America. Band members and Astudillo helped A.B. with writing the song, while Selena's widower Chris Perez helped gather Rock fusion and guitar solos into "Bidi bidi bom bom".〔〔 Within a couple of weeks of the lyrics completion in early 1994,〔 Selena began recording her fifth studio album. A.B. was nervous about the song because the mixed compositions had never been done before for a Tejano artist. EMI Records had a difficult time picking the lead single for the album. Selena and EMI wanted "Amor prohibido" as the first single, whereas A.B. wanted "Bidi bidi bom bom" first, and he unsuccessfully tried to convince his sister and EMI.〔 Selena had done takes for "Bidi bidi bom bom" at Q-Productions. The song took less than three days to record. After Selena was murdered, by which time she was working on a crossover album, EMI Latin wanted to release the unfinished album, but they were short of songs.〔 A.B. had remixed the song for ''Dreaming of You'' (1995).〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bidi Bidi Bom Bom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
