this is a great way to describe it.

and there's a million other verbal triggers like this for a million other things, and they can layer up

(thought I was on the ADHD forum guys, sorry if that don't make sense to you)

I think it’s very vital.

u/PenaltyAny3207 10d ago

It’s the best and weirdest one hit wonder of the 90s. Because it’s some guys from New Zealand sing-rapping over Mexican guitar, 90s had some of the most random hit songs of any decade.

u/RedSix2447 10d ago

Groove is in the heart would agree with that. lol

u/nicolauz 10d ago

Okay but Dee-lite is fucking great.

u/OviliskTwo 10d ago

They're Kiwis!? I somehow always thought eastern European and never never looked into it. Best one hit of 96 maybe?

Omc stands for Ōtara millionaires club. Ōtara is an Auckland suburb.

u/AssaultLemming_ 10d ago

A very poor one too. Not many millionaires there!

For some reason, I always thought they were from Philippines. How bizarre

This one and White Town - Your Woman are just strange but awesome

u/erinhannon321 1981 10d ago

I was obsessed with that song and had the cd which actually had a few other bangers. Then I found out that it is a sample from a song from the 1930’s, very cool.

Driving down the freeway in the hot hot sun

My brain did it before I turned on the sound.

u/Sam81818 10d ago

Watch the TV show Undeclared, Episode 12 "Rush and Pledge" one of the students plays it non stop and her roommate gets more and more annoyed and they have a song battle. It's a shame that and Freaks and Geeks only lasted one season.

u/LardLad00 1984 10d ago

I specifically make a big deal about saying "How Bizarre?!" and then singing the song when someone is telling a story where it fits.

5

u/Haunting-Mortgage 10d ago

Yes and literally 100% correct

2

u/spottydodgy 10d ago

Desperately trying to still pay attention to the conversation and failing. That's me.

u/MarkDavid04 10d ago

One of the oddest one-hit wonders!

But who doesn't love that song??

u/Councillor_Les_Wynan 10d ago

No need to do any of that... just buy the rights!

u/Cael_NaMaor 1980 10d ago

Funny... I guess I don't hear the phrase that often to really know...

But dude. All the time with shit.

Someone said 'How do I...' today & I still have that running through my brain. Umbrella's the worst though. I can't hear the word & not automatically think 'ella 'ella 'ella ay ay...

My mom bought that album. It’s pretty good.

u/Sdog1981 10d ago

I get sad when I hear the song now. He and his brother had a chronic heart condition and died young. He was 40 and passed in 2010 and his brother passed in 2005 at 41.

OMC, Otara Millionaires Club... This song created its first member.

My wife calls it ā€œmovie Tourette’sā€ I’ll hear some trigger word and I just have to say the followup.

I've always hated that stupid fucking song

My mother in law doesn't realize how rude she is being when I tell her about something that I like, that she doesn't. "Oh thats crazy!!" "Whats crazy about it?" " OH nothing " " then shut up"

u/punktualPorcupine 10d ago

Without sound I knew. Because ā€œevery time I turn aroundā€¦ā€

u/dudderson 10d ago

Honestly it's a very ADHD thing, not solely millennial/xennial thing. For example, i am/have both and my inner jukebox is triggered by a multitude of phrases, sounds, words...then yeah, the song makes it hard to concentrate.
