Stop, Drop, Roll, shake your head to the sound, put your hand on the ground, take one step left and one step right, one to the front and one to the side. COS has recently shared a performance of ‘Mambo No. 5″ from Total Dance Fesztivál Cabrio in Budapest, Hungary, 90s pop sensation and born-again Christian Lou Bega copped a face full of fire.

Whilst performing the smash hit, Bega had a standoff with death itself. The singer looked down the barrel of a pyro launcher but was too lost in the sauce to realise that he was crouching directly over an open flame. Check out the footage below, the singeing happens at the 3:10 mark.
