I love it when the oldies show up in my feed. Always a great reminder of what I might have forgotten. This is another song that I heard for the first time as a little kid. God I'm old.
This video was my childhood. I remember sitting on the couch, on my Mom’s laptop watching this video. I’m pretty sure it was the full version as well. I still love this video and will always go down as a TH-cam classic. ❤️ EDIT: Now it’s a meme lol
The first time I’ve ever watched this was in 2012, six years after this video was posted on TH-cam. I remember I’ve watched on my friend’s Nokia N95 (8GB), which was a beast at that time. This was during high school days in Nyala, South Darfur, Sudan.❤
