  • As a DJ every wedding that I have ever done since this came out I have to play this because people like because they can dance to it. So its not a stupid song at a wedding. A stupid song at a wedding and I get asked for it alot but refuse to play is InDaGadaDaVida by Iron Butterfly.

  • I just saw him live, greatest shit EVER!

  • a song about KY jelly...

    

  • ごっきげーん♪!!

  • But I'd have to say, it seems to me that most of them are listening to that God-awful hip-hop "music" that we're so plagued with these days....where are good pop and rock and roll? SAD.

  • you wrong, dude! But I completely agree with you ;)

  • You say Bruno Mars, I say Billy Ocean.

    You say Hannah Montana, I say KISS.

    You say Owl City, I say Bon Jovi

    You say Jonas Brothers, I say Queen

    You say Taylor Swift, I say Aerosmith.

    You say Justin Bieber, I say Fuck You

    

    95% of teens these days listen to the same formulaic, crappy pop over and over again. If you're one of the 5% who still listens to real music, thumb this up, then copy and paste it to at least five videos. Don't let the spirit of real music die!

  • @alienkilla22 Shut up you complete idiot.

  • not only old music, es wird immer irgendwelche variationen geben, die die musik ausmachen, musikklau inbegriffen, den es gar nicht geben kann, weil irgendwelche töne schon immer in irgendwelchen zusammensetzungen existiert haben und werden. wer sich damit abgeben möchte, bitte.

  • No one in same league !!

  • I suppose I'll forgive him for singing this song a key down...the original key would have more impressive though. Them high notes at the end when it goes a key up would be real impressive to see done live. Great singer though...

  • Check out the tightness of those trousers!

  • Such wonderful memorable songs!!

  • The day they have an ad for vaselene or KY jelly they just have to use this song..!!

  • This original version is the best, I don't like the one put on compilations or greatest hits albums with the updated drums track;bit too modern.

  • @AnthonyUK I totally agree.

  • wot a song

  • he is awesome

  • Djs keep playing this at wedding receptions and birthdays along with Build Me Up Buttercup and Come On Eileen everytime, without fail. It should be law that if the DJ plays all of the 3 mentioned songs at a wedding reception or birthday they should be shot then beaten up.

  • Hit #22 in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in the UK? God bless!

  • @DaveWollenberg it went to number 1!!!

  • Rembrandt viele Kamele

  • love how he's wearing figure hugging clothes when he's actually a guy you wouldn't fuck with in a hurry :) love this song, but there's something missing, it's a bit too upbeat and not in an ironic way. Most likely he had an idea it would be a sad song then money came along and said "now's not the time". oh well this is how we shall remember it

  • @samills70 i think you're over analysing the song. Just enjoy it and don't get too stressed!
