I’m just taking a guess here, but you’d have to think that Haddaway must have been completely pissed when Saturday Night Live made a mockery of his song with their Night at the Roxbury duo.

And then years later he must have been thankful as all hell considering that was his only hit and that’d he’d been making money off of it for the last 10 years.  Even as recently as 2008 it was featured in a Pepsi commercial.  Ah yes, royalties.

Nevertheless, despite it’s embarrassing correlation to head bopping, it’s an awesome song to dance around to when you’re alone.  Or when you’re in the middle of crossing the street.  Whichever.
