It is one of the most annoying songs ever recorded, fighting for the top spot with such notables as the Knack's "My Sharona" or Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy, Breaky Heart" among others. The "ooo-eee-ooo-oh-wa" backing vocals could replace waterboarding as a mans of torture at the CIA..... My favorite version of that song is from Amber Dotson, a fine real country talent that Capitol Nashville stuck on the shelf after Top 40 country stations ignored her two fine singles. Amber has the kind of earthy voice that Angela Hacker wishes she could aspire to and never will. Fortunately Amber's two singles and "Blue Christmas" are available for download, but it seems no advance CD copies of her Capitol album were ever released as I've been searching for a couple of years.
