Master Writer, Stephen King Says He Played 1999's Smash 'Mambo No. 5' So Much That His Wife Almost Got A Divorce?!

"Stephen King told Rolling Stone that his wife "threatened to divorce" him if he didn't stop playing Lou Bega's 1999 one-hit wonder "Mambo No. 5."

When asked if rumors about his love for the classic song were true, he responded: “big time,” before going into detail.

“My wife threatened to divorce me. I played that a lot,” he said, adding, “I had the dance mix. I loved those extended play things and I played both sides of it. And one of them was just total instrumental.”

“And I played that thing until my wife just said, ‘One more time, and I’m going to f—— leave you,’” he revealed.

Fortunately, he and Tabitha King, who he married in 1971, remain married. They couple share three adult children: Naomi, Joe, and Owen." - Rollingstone.com
