Gentleman (Lou Bega song)

"Gentleman" is a song by Lou Bega. It was the first single from his album Ladies and Gentlemen.

In fact, the song "Gentleman" is a parody, because a real gentleman doesn't claim to be a gentleman. The song is about gentlemen nowadays, how to become a gentleman and how to become entitled to be a gentleman.^[1]
