Hehe. This is a song written and originally recorded by Anslem Douglas for Trinidad and Tobago`s Carnival Season of 1998. This is according to the information I research. It was heard and taped on a float by hairdresser Keith from the London salon Smile, who played it to Jonathan King, who recorded it and released it under the name Fatt Jakk and his Pack of Pets. It then came to the attention of the King`s friend Steve Greenberg, who produced it with a group he was promoting called The Baha Men.
The Baha Men covered the song and placed it in the movie Rugrats in Paris, The Movie and then released it as a single in 2000, when it became the band`s first hit in the US and the UK. It reached number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and number 2 on the UK Singles Chart. It was the 4th biggest selling single of 2000 in the UK. It was also a big hit in Australia, where it reached number 1. Wow. That is really cool. The track even went to win the Grammy for Best Dance Recording on the 2001 Grammy Awards. I was in College that time while this song became really popular.
Have you liked this song? Have a nice day. Keep posting. Happy Mylotting.
