Brazilian singer Michel Teló's Ai Se Eu Te Pego / If I Catch You has become a monster hit on YouTube and on the global dance floor.
Although the Daily Mail seems to think it's popular because of the annoying but catchy tune, I'll bet you can figure out the main reason it's in vogue in European and Latin American discotheques.

[*Sertanejo universitário, or university sertanejo, is a sub-genre of ‘sertanejo‘, an immensely popular Brazilian music genre that first developed in the 1920s.]

And finally, here are the lyrics to this profound little ditty:
If I Catch You
Ow, wow, this way you're gonna kill me
Oh, if I catch you
Oh my God, if I catch you
Delicious, delicious
This way you're gonna kill me
Oh, if I catch you
Oh my God, if I catch you
Saturday at the party
Everybody started to dance
Then the prettiest girl pass in front of me
I got closer and started to say...
Wow, wow, this way you're gonna kill me
Oh, if I catch you
Oh my God, if I catch you
Delicious, delicious
This way you're gonna kill me
Oh, if I catch you
Oh my God, if I catch you
Repeat...
