My Thoughts On The Song/Chart: A catchy (or annoying) song based on your preferences. This song was EVERYWHERE during the early 2000s, in Adverising, Movies, TV Shows, you couldn't escape it. I'm surprised it took this long for a custom to be released and even MORE surprised about it's Guitar chart which is easy and simple but still more active than i thought it would be.
