  • George Pope from Vancouver BcNow having read the lyrics on Google, I see there was a lot of Disney character references & voices I missed. . . Makes sense if Rick Dees was an influence. Disco was a crossover from rock to pop, & this song is a sort of crossover from rap to mainstream pop, leaning on the rap side, while Dees hit the disco('70s pop) side harder. It's all good -- variety & interesting stuff is what I seek! Too much repetition & pablum lyrics in most of today's pop & rap.

    Go back to rock that had beautiful POETRY set to music, & singers who sang from deep in their heart & diaghram!

    & players who through their heart & soul into their instrument!
  • George Pope from Vancouver BcCopyright law needs to beseriously updated -- a DJ is exposed to THOUSANDS of songs, ew & old -- of course, they'll influence a future lyrics writing career move! Did he STEAL some thing? ordid he enhance some thing with a newflavour that comes from the e4xtra exposure he's had to varoius music types & examples? To say he stole the exact track used in a studio is a serious assertion, & I see the others rescinded that claim (that was a clear "put up or shut up" moment); thefact it's been recanted suggests there wasn't en0ugh to it to stand up in court, but I'm glad they accepted that & didn't embark on a long feud of hate. Maybe one day they'll record together. . . :) I'm all for multiple-influenced people making new music in whatever style or genre that bursts out of them!

    This is cool. I like this version better, actually; but "like" is a strong word -- it's too repetitive -- they did sneak in s bit of dirty - I heard the radio's autocensor cut out something in the second third or so. I heard just enough to know it was sexual in nature -- I've no beef with sexual content, if it's not glrifying hate or abuse. . .
  • Ain't Like That from Dead CenterI had heard from a friend "there it is" is a drawn-out way to say "dat ass". Now I can't unhear it...
  • Donny Swift from 20009Who actually wrote the song...WHOOOMP THERE IT IS...!! Is Robert Meekins listed as a writer...producer...anything...?
  • John from Nashville, TnOne-hit wonders the Tag Team own the masters to this four-million selling recording.
