Googled ... apparently, I was with Steel General not listening to the radio when that one was getting airplay. Totally never heard of it.Originally Posted by icosahedron

Was this one really that popular? I suspect chart fraud. It's ... barely cute at first, and the novelty wears off in the first chorus. It's annoying well before the midpoint. Meh, I'm just a fogey. I guess the pretty young things can shake their cabooses to anything with a bump.

I think you're right...I listened to about 45 seconds of it, that's all I could stand. Just not my taste in music.

AFAIK it was big in dance clubs on both sides of the pond, not sure about the charting, though. Embarrassingly, I think I have this on a cd somewhere that I haven't listened to in a very long time. I used to dj our fraternity parties so I always kept up with the hot club stuff and rave/techno until a few years ago. Those of you who know me can probably guess why...dancing girlsThey don't really like shaking their booties to Slipknot and Korn.

I have never heard of this song. But hey, that doesn't mean it didn't chart.

Er, why am I suddenly reminded of the scene at the beginning of Quadrophenia where the Mod wakes up to find himself in a squat full of Rockers...
Er, not that I'm a Mod, you understand...
"I don't like reggae, I love it."
Er, not that I'm necessarily into reggae...
I got Led Zep, didn't I??

Seriously, it made #6 in the US and #1 across Europe. I thought it was quite catchy - and (in)famous.
I'm not trying to hog the spotlight here, I really thought somebody would get it. You want me to do an (even) easier one?
Do I get a point for it?

I found a comment that stated: "I'm Blue, I'm in need of a guy, I would beat up a guy.."
and that is the only thing I hear now when listening...
