No Tengo Dinero (Los Umbrellos song)
"No Tengo Dinero" (Spanish: "I Don't Have Money") is a début single of Danish musical group Los Umbrellos, considered to be their signature song. It was released by FLEX Records (EMI on May 14, 1997. Based on the theme of 1960 film ''Never on Sunday'' by Greek composer Manos Hadjidakis, the lyrics were written by Jay and Richie Balmorian and group member Al Agami. It was produced by Kenneth Bager, Michael Pfundheller and Jan Elhøj, with additional production handled by Cutfather & Joe. The song was a top 5 hit in Austria, Denmark, Italy, New Zealand, and Switzerland. The song peaked at number 42 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in the United States. It stayed on the chart for 27 weeks without ever entering the top 40. As of August 2003, the single had sold 800,000 copies worldwide. Unlike the band's following releases, "No Tengo Dinero" enjoyed chart success, thus Los Umbrellos were named one hit wonder.
== Background ==
In 1995, Jan Elhøj and Anders Hansen, of rap-comedy duo Angry Ass, made a song called "Frikadeller og krebinetter" (Danish for "Meatballs and pork patties") which incorporated the theme of 1960 film ''Never on Sunday'', composed by Manos Hadjidakis. The song was presented to Kenneth Bager, owner of FLEX Records, who immediately saw its potential.〔 Bager sought to find the right people to work on the track. He enlisted Ugandan rapper Al Agami to write the rap lyrics, while songwriters Richie and Jay Balmorian wrote the Spanish and English chorus.〔 Danish singer Shirley arranged the backing vocals for the chorus. Finally, Kenneth Bager, Jan Elhøj, and Michael Pfundheller produced the track.〔 Bager then presented "No Tengo Dinero" to FLEX Records' parent label, EMI but they weren't interested in the song. It was then re-produced by the Danish proucers Cutfather and Joe Belmaati (of Cutfather & Joe), and finally EMI agreed to release the song.〔 Before the release of the song, Kenneth Bager wanted to find two female backing singers for the Los Umbrellos project. Michael Pfundheller personally knew dancer Grith Højfeldt, while Mai-Britt Vingsøe was contacted through modelling agency Scandinavian Models.〔〔 All three members of Los Umbrellos finally met at the cover shooting for the single.〔
