On a related note, I have recently discovered that it is possible to sing alternative words, to this song. Instead of singing, "Hey you, the rock steady crew, b-boys breakin electro boogaloo", you can sing, "Hey you, I've done a big poo, it's so large it's blocked up the loo". It really adds a light touch of humour to when you have to tell your mam that your massive lump of ploppy won't flush away. It stops her from getting so angry.

This is a very good track to practise your breakdancing to in your mam's kitchen, just make sure your sneaker trainers do not leave black smudges on the lino like mine did, otherwise your mam will be very cross!!
