Why The Song In The Corona Seltzer Commercial Sounds So Familiar

The original singer of "I Like It Like That," Pete Rodriguez, knew his song was popular, but he had no idea versions of it were still popular today. He told Entertainment Weekly in a July 2018 interview that his kids and grandkids made him aware that his song had been sampled in Cardi Bi's chart-topping hit. 

"My kids and grandkids called me and texted me about it," he said. "We recorded [the original] in 1967, so it's come a long way." He also admitted he did not know who Cardi B was until his family told him about the song. "I wasn't aware of Cardi, but my kids and grandkids were," he said. "They were all excited; they're fans." Rodriguez also said he became a fan of the New York-born rapper after viewing some of her videos. "I Like It" is, of course, his favorite.

Rodriguez is simply blown away by the success of his song. "We had such a blast at the recording studio with it," he recalled. "We had a party and knew it was going to be big at that time, but this? This is crazy. I never thought it was going to last for 50 years."
