Yeah, lol, everytime I play it for myself or anyone else, it gets stuck in your head for a long, long time. It really deserved to be a radio hit ...

Funny you should say that, every time I used to play it on the air I'd get about 5 pissed off calls saying something to the effect of "PLEASE STOP PLAYING THAT SONG" hahah. That was the best part about playing it though, and when they say "just the girls" and sing in fake girl voices...
