    This song was just one of the coolest tracks when it came out in 1996 it set the club on fire with Armand's Hip Hop Elements and Beats over Tori's Vocals it still gives me goosebumps and it 10 million times better than any music I have heard from the past decade.

    This is definitely one of the tracks from that era that's going to live on forever. It's got a muscular beat that would get any sentient species up and dancing, and it just encapsulates the fun and optimism of the mid-90s.
