DrPolitik Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 There's quite a little debate on the specific point in musical status of Ace of Base, who probably don't deserve so much consideration :lol: ACE OF BASE FOREVER!!!! :lol: yeah i guess i was wrong about that one, more of a fad!..but i struck gold with mmmm..!! what about Macarena! or was that more of a fad?, 'cause there was that whole dance thing too...

That Mambo # 5 lunacy was by some dude name Lou Vega who I think had another hit with some atrocity where it goes like "little bit of pamela all night long, little bit of tina..." blah blah, basically he's naming girls, and it was HUGE!! Or wait?? is that even the same song?? Is it even by this guy.. is lou vega really my wack pop song loving alter ego!!?? How i even knew this guy's name is worrying.. :shock: Jimmy Ray!! :lol: :lol: We have a winner!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Quick, name another Francis Scott Key song)..and it's been in the charts since 1812, well they didn't have charts for a while but it's still played on the radio and on tv for some reason..heh heh ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
