"Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)"/"Dímelo" is a pop song from singer Enrique Iglesias. It is the first single from his album Insomniac. The song gets the latter part of its name from the sample of a ping pong ball bouncing that is used as a percussion track throughout the song.
Enrique insists that people call this song just "Do You Know", as Iglesias' record label added on "The Ping Pong Song" to help sell records and appear more distinctive/marketable.
The instrumental backing tracks are based on sampled loops from a well known production company Bunker 8 Digital Labs. The samples in particular include ALL the original tracks in "Otiga Verde" from the sample library 101 Below. The opening piano, guitar chord riffs, and even the lead sound synthesizer which is heard throughout the song are directly lifted from the individual sample loops. See the example here.

[edit] Reception
Iglesias premiered the song on Ryan Seacrest's radio show on KIIS-FM on Tuesday, April 10, 2007. The song was officially shipped to radio stations, and a week later it reached number 102 on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.
Iglesias performed the song on Dancing with the Stars on May 15, 2007, the same day the song was made available on the U.S. iTunes Store as a digital single[1] where it reached number 13. The song soon made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 33.[2] On the club chart, it reached the top ten on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play; peaking at #3.
The song reached number three on the UK iTunes Store, making its debut on the UK Singles Chart at number 28, climbing to number nine on its second week. The song was released as a physical CD single format on Monday, June 11.[3]. The song has now reached number three on the official charts.
The Spanish version of the song, entitled "Dímelo", made a 48-point jump from number 49 to number one on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks chart. The song held the top spot for six consecutive weeks, was knocked off the top spot by Marco Antonio Solis's single "Ojala", but reclaimed the number one spot three weeks later for another four consecutive weeks. It was then knocked off the top but once again regained the top position for one week, giving it a total of eleven weeks atop the chart. It held off strong competition from Daddy Yankee and Chayanne. The song is Iglesias' seventeenth number one on the chart, the best performing single on Hot Latin Tracks this year, and Iglesias' best performing single since "Enamorado Por Primera Vez" in 1997.
In Latin America the single debuted at number 15 in the Latin America Top 40, becoming the "Hot Shot" of the week[4], the single entered the top 10 two weeks later and topped the chart in its seventh week [5], becoming his best performing single since the creation of the chart in May 2004.
The single was released to radio in his home country, Spain, peaking number 6 on the official download Spanish chart, and reached number one in the Airplay chart. The single was not released physically there because the downloads have much more importance.
Some American radio stations are playing a different version of the song that contains a more rhythmic beat.
[edit] Music Video
The song's video is directed by Jesse Terrero and is meant to parody the thought process many directors have when making Iglesias's music videos. The video cuts back and forth between scenes in which the ideas for the videos are being proposed to Iglesias and the videos themselves.
The video starts with Iglesias and his manager played by Mike Boogie meeting up with one of the hottest directors in the business. When they arrive, the director played by Jon Abrahams is surrounded by scantily clad women some of which are occupying themselves by playing Ping Pong. The director suggests the video to Iglesias's newest single start out with Iglesias dressed in a white suit next to a hotel swimming pool surrounded by women when one in particular (played by Pamela Burgos) catches his eye. Iglesias watches her and is seen interacting with her in a bed when the scene shifts to outside the hotel with Burgos arguing with her lover and walking into the road and being run over by a car.
When Iglesias shows little interest at the cliched idea the director pitches him a second idea where Iglesias is in the woods with his high school sweetheart played by Yesica Toscanini. The two interact in the woods and she playfully runs away. As he catches up to her at the edge of a cliff she mimes the words "I love you" to which Iglesias is visibly pleased but then becomes worried as she goes closer to the edge of the cliff and then dives off backwards.
Iglesias groans at the directors idea and mutters to his manager "Ese cabrón está loco" (this rascal is crazy) and then leaves. After the manager of Iglesias also walks out the director tells the women that he thinks they liked his idea.
There are two versions of the video, one with the word "cabron" beeped out and another with it intact. Some countries cut out some of the scenes with Iglesias and the director. The Spanish version of the video is exactly the same but with Iglesias mouthing the words to the song in Spanish and the scenes with the director and manager are subtitled in Spanish.
On the video sharing site Youtube Universal Music's upload of the video is the #94 - Most Viewed video of all time in the music category. The song peaked for several days at number two on MTV'sTRL.
