Thanks! wanted to know who sung this original version. Is this the Ernie K. Doe who sung the 1961 hit Mother in Law?

K-Doe, whose birth name was Ernest Kador Jr., called the police during a performance in 2000 to report a robbery. When the cops showed up, guns drawn, K-Doe said the robbery was a man taping his performance. Not only could police do little about the alleged intellectual theft, the man turned out to be a New York Times critic planning an article "to let people know about Mr. K-Doe."

That sort of incident was not unusual for the man who made his motto, "I'm cocky but I'm good."

i actually like the sugababes version they sampled the beat, and wrote their own lyrics they changed the meaning because they cant talk about the same thing as ernie cuz hes a guy. they are females so they made the song about them duh! i honestly like this one better but props for the babes for making it cool as well

[Matt Cooper]

Does Ernie say "the Philly steak, I could leave or take" at one point? Being a Philadelphia native, I would appreciate the local shout out in this brilliant song. :-)

[Lucy Hale]

The original and best version ! ! Why did that UK pop act do such a rubbish version and change the meaning. (I deliberately didn't name them).
