Reminds me of the summers in late 90s early 2000s.. i was like 6 years old then playing around with my friends enjoying the bright summers with my friends in the street.. so joyful and careless.. i really miss that and this video reflects is so well :)... makes me so nostalgic in many ways when everything still seemed okay
i miss my bicycle when i was kid when this song was so popular. i always travel with my bike for many years as a child. sadly it was stolen. after 12 years i saw my bike again. it was to old and rusty and a 8 years old boy was using it and he was very happy. i tell him my happy moments with my bike and tell him to take care of that bike.
Este tema es un himno, levanta, hace bailar, me pone de buen humor, hace mover mi cabeza, lo tenia en casette hace mucho timpo y hoy lo encontre y lo voy a escuchar todo el dia, saludos¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
LOL this song had the worse pop lyricist? Come on you got to me kidding me now...Virtually all pop song produced these days is rubbish, far from anything influential or productive...'oops I did it again' lol I can go on forever
fuck BBC....i don´t give a damn.... i don´t care if they say she has been the worst lyricis ever.... i love her music, especially this song....it´s relaxing and it never fails to brings a smile to my face.....tu eres maravillosa desiree :) que dios te bendiga siempre...
If you disagree, you're just a dry piece of shit who has no real concept of philosophy. Life will fly right past your face and you wont notice a thing.
i dont understand at all what people have against this song : ) sure the lyrics arent the most catchy. but they are still one thousand times better than lyrics used by rihannna and the gag lady.
im still remembered this song... from the 1st time i heard it until now... if its worst ever song, you won't heard it on radio... people love this song
the good old times. now that am really listening to the lyrics, they are bad written, but it reminds me of the simple life, childhood moments and feelings associated. that's how children's and early teens' song should be like. Favourite Scout campfire songs...
@Godsprettymama Noone said the song isn't catchy, but the lyrics are terrible "I'm so afraid of a ghost it's the sight that I fear most, I'd rather have a peice of toast" Come on you'd fail primary school English if you wrote those lyrics!
yeh, its not the best lyrics or the best singer, but this song never fails to bring a smile to my face and to me, thats what music is. not awards but songs bringing happiness to your lives. :)
Haha, this song has the worst lyrics ever. I still like it, but please "I'd rather have a piece of toast"? Hilarious! And how low does her voice go- it's the vocal equivalent of limbo dancing.
My LIFE abroad started in the Netherlands (amsterdam) 12 years ago from this song which is still popular in holland and makes me happy mood every time somewhere I listen to it :)
everybody's bs-ing about the lyrics but u either like the song or u don't! If u had to choose between Justin Bieber or her? does her whacky lyrics really bother then?
@joie30303 "Dirty Dancing" was voted by the Experts as one of the 100 worst movies, but continues to be popular. I don't always trust the "Experts" who don't know what we want. This is a great video and was well executed. GO DES'REE!
@Helismoke Before replying you should have read what I wrote. "Experts" didn't vote this as the worst pop lyrics in history the listening PUBLIC voted. I think most people have intelligence enough to know that these lyrics are crap because they are senseless. Your opinion doesn't change these facts.
@joie30303 Not just in a radio poll, by Readers' Digest, and numerous newspapers too I'm pretty sure lol. One must admit this makes RB's Friday look clever!
@davorunner Both songs are pretty bad lyric wise but RB's does makes more sense.LOL
Still, at least Des'ree can sing unlike RB and her song is musically better by miles. I just don't understand how Des'ree could sing such nonsensical lyrics...it's like she came up with a catchy melody and chorus but couldn't be assed to write the verses so just sang the first shit that popped into her head - probably smoking too much weed lol ;).
Anyways, it's really a shame because she was very talented, IMO.
@joie30303 HAHAH I totally agree on all points! It seems there were a few songs back in those days that were influenced by weed or something, like lucy in the sky with diamonds and such.
The catchiness can be a good or bad thing. It's good because it gets stuck in people's heads but if I was a song writer I would want my song to catch on because it's clever, and not just because it's got a catchy tune :P
@lieflove12 a friend of mine, when he were young, he used to sing like "Oh ninee oh nineee oh ninee" and today, everybody calles him "nine" for that reason xD so u are olive now xD
