Jacko was an Assie Rules player (non-Australians wiki/google it), anyway, he was fairly good at it. He was a common guest on many related talk shows etc. He never took himself too seriously, he was early on in the "I'm a great x player/actor so I'm a great singer" which plauges every country now. Don't get me wrong some of them actually turn out ok, I cite Kylie M. I recall an interview where he expressed his disbelief at it becoming a hit, and inferred that people who bought it were morons.
He sure did wonders for our main Qld team! lol Losing some for one season with him (Henderson trade, Bradshaw pissed off, and Rischitelli due to the trade bait thing with him, Brennan maybe - unless he wanted to go to GC, Sherman.... think wanted to have something new?)..... Really an off-set from his huge salary. Oh well, young talent will shine.
Best thing is that the girls in this clip now probably would have children of their own. The question is would they tell their children, they were in this masterpiece.
It made it to number one because on the football field, Jacko was a larrikan. People either loved or hated him, but EVERYBODY knew who he was, whether they supported his team or not. The song was different, catchy and easily remembered (just like the Maccarena), so it caught on. Also, parents hated it, so by default, kids loved it.
