WHEN THIS SONG HIT U.S. RADIO IN THE SUMMER OF 1996, I HATED IT! SO MUCH SO THAT I TOLD EVERYONE WHO HAD EARS. I HATED IT FOR TWO REASONS, THE FIRST BECAUSE IT WAS A EURO SONG AND I JUST COULD NOT GET INTO SUCH FAST PACED MUSIC. TEH SECOND REASON WHO I HATED THIS SONG WAS BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS TOO DAMN REPETITIVE. HOWEVER, TWO MONTHS LATER I WOULD EAT MY WORDS. I BOUGHT THE SINGLE SIMPLY BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET THE DAMN TUNE OUT OF MY HEAD, BUT I STILL HATED IT. A WEEK LATER I COULD NOT STOP PLAYING IT. THIS IS NOW ONE OF MY FAVE TUNES OF THE 90'S. I SAW HER PERFORM A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AT PHILLY GAY PRIDE AND SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE. HERE'S TO THOSE SONGS THAT MAKE US LOVE THEM. GOTTA LOVE 'EM I SAY.
This song is a guilty pleasure, like coke cause everyones doing it but know one wants to talk about i.LOL, i felt the same way you did when i first heard this tune she had another one like this from the same album and it was just as repetitive and loveable all at the same time.
