Depends on what you mean by fun and by original. If you don't mind music that isn't actually latin, two fun alternatives are:

"He wants to Cha Cha"--about a couple learning to dance--very accurate and funny. Can't remember the singer, but it's on iTunes.

An album by Della Reese, Della Della Cha Cha Cha. A bunch of standards orchestrated for cha cha.

Both of these date from the 60s, when cha cha was first becoming popular as a social dance.

Thank you both! I like the idea of a "classic" made into a cha cha.

I want to do something that hasn't been done a thousand times before.

Lady Marmalade would be awesome too! I'll present all of these to my teacher.

Thanks again!

My favorite is "Dance with Me" by Debelah Morgan, it's fun and cheeky. "Tell You, Tell Me" by Patricia Manterola is also really good.

I think Cha Chas should be fun and flirty. Currently my favorite Cha Cha songs are "I Like to Move It" by Reel 2 Real, "Don't Stop the Music" by Rihanna, and "Some Like It Hot" by Power Station.

Hope I helped!
:]

Lady Marmalade has something else going for it. It is very easy to hear the beats and for those who are a bit shaky when it comes to dancing on the beat and in phrase it would be a great tune to practise to.

It's a pity but most upbeat cha cha's today are played to a disco beat.
