I gotta go with UTFO on this one, only because I was in camp the summer they played this on the radio a million times and managed to record it on a cassette tape. Me and my bunk mates played it so much it was all crackly and worn out by the end of the summer.

Because of this song I learned to appreciate the newly forming art form of hip-hop which makes me eligible to complain about how much it sucks now.
