gotta be one of the dumbest songs ever. EVER

We the People have suffered for having to hear this crap on the radio far more than eddy has for POTUS using it.

Bathhouse Barry might prefer Eddy Grant to Her Wookieeness.

This reminds me of when Rush Limbaugh was ordered to stop using his famous opening song by it's greater....at some point she was informed about how much she made every time he played it. She immediately gave permission and said it was all a “misunderstanding”!!!!!

She also got Rush to donate to PETA in order to play it.

Eddie hasn’t had a paycheck in a long time.

My thoughts exactly. He should be thanking Trump for resurrecting him from the abyss of obscurity.

The video “contains a visual depiction of a high-speed red train bearing the words ‘Trump Pence KAG 2020’ in stark contrast to a slow-moving handcar bearing the words ‘Biden President: Your Hair Smells Terrific’ being powered by an animated likeness of Former Vice President Biden while out-of-context excerpts of Former Vice President Biden’s speeches and interviews are played over Plaintiffs’ Recording,” the suit states.

LOL! It's even better written out, like it's all very serious!

One of the worst songs ever. That and Double Dutch Bus.

Evidently, you have forgotten about Muskrat Love.

I don’t know how companies like Google get away with that though. Even if the market is dead they still have to pay for the copyrights don’t they? Maybe I’m naive, but I remember in the olden days using copyrighted material to make money for yourself could get you royally screwed. Someone else told me they do pay royalties but what they pay is ridiculously small, something like a fraction of a cent for every million views

I read once the Captain and Tennille sang that song at a White house dinner honoring Queen Elizabeth and the audience was repulsed, it was considered an insult against the Queen to sing a song about 2 rats mating lol lol To me though the worst song of all time though is "Your having my baby"...With such poetic lyrics such as "my seed is inside you, do you feel it growing" lol

Reggae classic?
Not worth reading this article after seeing that.
It’s a funky little bouncy diddy of a song from my youth, but it is most definitely not reggae.
