Chacarron Macarron (usually shortened to Chacarron) is a hit song by Panamanian artists Rodney Clark and Andy De La Cruz. Clark is known as "El Chombo." He is the self-described "Godfather of the Reggaeton sound," best known for Lorna's 2003 hit "Papi Chulo." De La Cruz is also known as Andy Val Gourmet. The song has gained popularity on the Internet because of its nonsense lyrics (which are nothing but gibberish consisting of various onomatopoeic sounds, such as the "nuh" noise, earning him the nickname of "El Mudo" [The Mute[dubious ]]) and odd music video (which contains similar elements to Will Smith's "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" video, and The Black Eyed Peas' Hey Mama video), with an excerpt featured on many sites. Andy’s mumbled vocals were originally laid down as a rough skit with a view to writing "proper" lyrics later but because many fans loved what he had recorded, they decided to keep the original version[citation needed].

BBC Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills started a campaign on October 30, 2006 to get the song to #1 in the UK singles chart. A link was put up on the BBC website to the video on YouTube. Although the song did not reach the top, the campaign pushed the song all the way up to #20, which became its peak.[citation needed]

A similar song, "Chacarron Macarron", appeared as the first track of Yahari's album Las + Bailables de .... Yahari.[1]

It is one of the current at-bat songs of New York Mets shortstop José Reyes, Cleveland Indians third baseman Andy Marté, and Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus. Additionally, Arizona Diamondbacks Catcher Miguel Montero used this song in the 2007 season.

The song contains a sample from "The Breaks" by Kurtis Blow.
