  • We've come a long, long way together
    Through the hard times and the good
    I have to celebrate you, baby
    I have to praise you like I should

    We've come a long, long way together
    Through the hard times and the good
    I have to celebrate you, baby
    I have to praise you like I should

    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you like I should

    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you

    We've come a long, long way together
    Through the hard times and the good
    I have to celebrate you, baby
    I have to praise you like I should

    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you

    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you like I should

    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you
    I have to praise you Writer/s: Camille D. Yarbrough, Norman Cook

  • George Pope from Vancouver Bc"I have to praise you -- like I should." Oh, jeeze; if you should, them just do it. Is he whining about it here, over & over again, or aplogizing for not having done it before, when he should've? Catchy beat & I guess that's why it was popular & much-used. . . & that's as far as it goes with today's pop *sigh*
  • Angel from Lima, PerúPraise you (original version) has a vibe from afroperuvian music call "lando"
  • Sydney from Dallas, TxSo what if I wasn't around for the time when this song was written! I LOVE it!
  • Jessica from Tulsa, OkOne of the best songs of the 90's. Still love it.
  • Halon from London, EnglandI think it's wonderful that somebody such as Norman Cook who, (as one can tell from his Housemartins days) has negligible aptitude for songwriting or even playing a musical instrument, can find financial reward by using a computer and a recording of someone else's music. It really opens up the field for everyone with a computer, an mp3 collection and either too much indolence or too little talent to learn music.
  • Chrissy from ManchesterI love this song, and yes, the video must be the cheapest videa ever made. It's really clever, just people dancing badly!
  • William from London, CanadaWhere is the piano in song sampled from? I know I've heard it before somewhere and it's not from Camille's song.
  • Matt from Millbrae, CaQ Magazine called this video the #2 vid of all time, only behind Johnny Cash's "Hurt"
  • Melissa from Green Bay, WiThat video was pure genius!! Wasn't this song also included in the movie Cruel Intentions?
  • Elihu from Toronto, CanadaThis has still got to be one of my favorite music videos. The underwear dude!
