This song is so addictive!
I love the tune... a sort of old western whistle. And then comes the mind numbing beat. And that tune is so catchy!
Goodness! Ever since I heard it, I couldn't get it out of my head!
....
*swaying to the tune and the music...*
[i]Dah pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you,
So tell all the boys and girls.
[b]Tell your brother, your sister
And mama too, cause they’re
About to go down [/b]
And you’ll know just what to do.
[b]Wave your hands in the air
Like you don’t care, glide by
The People as they start to look and stare.[/b]
Do you dance, do your dance quick
Mama, come on baby, tell me what’s
The Word, ah – word up,
Everybody say [b]when you hear the call
You got to get it underway, [/b]
Word up, it’s the code word,
No matter where you say it,
You’ll know that you’ll be heard.
Now all you sucker. D.J.’s
Who think you’re fly
There’s got to be a reason
And we know the reason why.
And act real cool
But you got to realise
That you’re acting like fools.
[b]If there’s music we can use it
We need to dance.
We don’t have that time
For psychological romance [/b]
No romance
No romance
No romance for me mama
Come on baby tell me what’s the word.
Ah – word up,
Everybody say when you hear the call
You got to get it underway.
Dial “L” for low...
Come on, all you people say...
Word up – word up[/i]

So Retro!!! Nope.. I haven't it before. It's not exactly my cup of tea. When it comes to retro, I like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and Rick Astley.
It sounds a little techno to me too and I am not into techno too.
Good that you have found your favorite tune of the week.
My favorite tune of the week is 'Every time we touch' by Cascada (the slow version).

HAVe not heard of this song before.. hehe ^_^ But it's nice.. It's a kind of song that cant be found in this time and day now.. It's really unique.. The tempo is good.. I've compared to the Korn's version, but i still prefer the original version.. haha ^_^ Because to me, nothing beats the orignal.. lol =D Great song..

Well, I like both of them!
The one remade by Korn is more hard rock.
The solos there is a bit too much at times. But listening to them on the overall, the singing by Korn is nice too!
The original one is more mellow as compared to the one by Korn.
Both of them are equally good!
I love the tempo of the tune from the original one. Sorts of sticks in the mind even after the song has ended.

Korn does a new version of this song too. Very cool, a little harder rocking but they did a good job on it. I like it better than the Cameo version.
