But is it true that the "Top Secret" show used the English lyrics from the first post?

Ay ay ay the beat is crazy,
Sucu Sucu is everywhere.
Ayay ay ay I feel so hazy,
Sucu Sucu I do not care.

It is becoming the moda,
In every big capital.
From Buenos Aires to Paris,
From Rajastan to Nepal.

It doesn't seem to fit my conception of proper theme music for a spy show, unless it had at lease some alteration. Also, who sang the theme song recording? I found this YouTube (instrumental) recording of the theme. If there are no lyrics, the tune fits a lot better - but did the show's theme have lyrics?

I got an interesting personal message from someone on the "Isle of Youth" in Cuba, which appears to be the birthplace of "Sucu-Sucu":

The Isle of Pines (now Isle of Youth) has a strange history. The American companies established plantations there after 1900, and brought in workers from other Caribbean Islands and the mainlands, and the old culture was diluted and lost. Not till 1925 did the U. S. formerly cede it to Cuba.
The Castro regime spread cultivation, and much of the old flora and fauna was destroyed. Much of the pine forest has been lost. The population was much increased by people from other parts of Cuba.
The old pre-1900, pre-U. S. occupation and plantation era, might have left a few records in government archives, but we may never know much about the old culture of the island.

Azizi thinks "Sucu-Sucu" may be derived from the Spanish word for sugar, azucar. See what she has to say in this thread (click).
