Ricky Martin (b. 1971) is a Latin American pop singer, famous for such songs as "Livin' La Vida Loca". He also supplied the Spanish voice of Disney's Hercules for the Mexican market.
Early in his career, Martin was a member of the Latino boy band Menudo, who appeared on Sesame Street in 1985 to sing "Gotta Get on Movin'", and to demonstrate the word "AGUA".
In 2004, Martin appeared alongside Kermit the Frog at the Golden Jubilee for Queen Elizabeth II.

Pepe the King Prawn, in a 1999 TVGuide.com interview, responded to potential comparisons to Ricky Martin: "Eh, si, I understand this is a handsome man. But perhaps one day we could meet. I understand he can sing. Ees this true? If so, maybe he will sing with me, okay. I challenge him to a sing-off!"
The Spanish prawn's good-natured fascination with Martin extended to the 2002 TV-movie It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, in which he takes a job with Rachel Bitterman so he can afford to go to Ricky Martin's house for Christmas.
Menudo Long touted as a hangover cure, menudo is particularly popular in Mexico on New Year's morning. It's a hearty, spicy soup made with Tripe, Calf's feet, green chilies, hominy and seasonings. It's usually garnished with lime wedges, bowls of chopped chilies and onion and served with hot tortillas.
