THE YEAR IS… 1989!!!
- Technotronic was a Belgian group assembled by producer and DJ Jo Bogaert. The idea was to mix European house music with Hip-Hop.
- Manuella “Ya Kid K” Komosi was the lead vocalist on this and most other Technotronic songs, but she was not in the video or on the album cover, which instead featured Zairean-born fashion model Felly lip-synching the lyrics. Felly had nothing to do with recording the song, and didn’t speak English, so it made to awkward miming.

As this became popular song among DJs and the DONS version became a hit, demand for the original 12″ single got so high that copies were changing hands on the Internet for over $100.
