I loved this song back in 1997 or so when I first listened to it, and I still love it. I was dusting my desk this morning when the song burst out of my lips, unbidden. I don't know where it came from, but I welcomed it.

Nene Cheryy was very famous in the 1990s and early 2000s. Her younger brother, Eagle Eye Cherry also became famous in the early 2000s and this is my favourite song of his.

Isn't it amazing how good music transcends language? I don't understand Wollof but this song always manages to break me out in goose bumps.

I told God I want to be a dancer in my next incarnation.

This song always reminds me of Los Angeles '84. He performed this and Diana Ross performed Reach Out and Touch, but I can't remember which one of them performed at the opening ceremony and which performed at the closing ceremony.

I have always found this song fascinating because it is so...energetic

What exactly is LA '84?

I called him "Space Man". I think he had a backpack.

When the cowboys performed, my dad exclaimed, "Aha! Those are Reagan's people". He believed that Reagan was a cowboy, even though he was from California.

What exactly is LA '84?

The 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Peter Konyegwachi, Innocent Egbunike, Oliver Orok, Ironbar Bassey, etc.

The space man with the jet pack on his back.

The Los Angeles Forum (or was it the Coliseum? I can't remember)
