"Indianápolis" is a 1983 song by boy band Menudo. The song was featured in the 1983 Spanish album A Todo Rock.[2] The song became a #1 hit in Puerto Rico, Latin America, and even Japan and the Philippines. The song was a message to the iconic auto race, the Indianapolis 500.[3]
In 1984, Indianápolis would eventually be used in the first English album, "Reaching Out",[4] which had considerable success in the United States, though the success was small compared to it's Spanish Version.[5]
That same year, Indianapolis would be again used in the first Portuguese album, Mania, though the title of the name is slightly changed to "Indianópolis".[6][7] The songs in Spanish, English and Portuguese versions were all sanged by Charlie Massó.[8]
