Hey, I’m not fucking with Tripping Daisy. Tripping Daisy is great! And they turned into my favorite messianic pop orchestra.

Dude, why are you fucking with Tripping Daisy?
No wait. I’m thinking of the Toadies. Continue to fuck with Tripping Daisy as you see fit.

Ugh, Ryan. And I spent the summer of ’99 in Florence, where Mambo #5 was a def #1 (hate hate hate), followed v. v. closely by Cher’s “Do You Believe.” And that Madonna song from Austin Powers, I think.
Stab stab stab stab stabbystab stab.
PS. I don’t own the New Radicals album. BUT THE N DOES!!!
Also I’m wearing my Tripping Daisy teeshirt to the next BSWW.

Suddenly I’ve been inspired to go download some Tripping Daisy albums. Some good has come out of invoking Lou Bega’s name after all!

Looking at the lyrics, I would guess that I Got A Girl should be sung to the tune of Mambo Number 5.

the one about having a chick in the Vatican Dome? that one's hilarious. Apparently it's this one: I Got A Girl.

I’ll bet the g doesn’t really like Mambo Number 5, but there’s this other song on that Lou Bega album she really dug.

Mambo Number 5
Thanks. There’s a song I needed in my head all afternoon.

Maybe that explains it–I was in Vienna in the summer of ’99. But I mainly recall all the clubs playing Mambo Number 5 every quarter hour or so, and trust me, I have no special goosebump feelings about that particular song.

Let’s not overlook the fact that The G. owns(owned?) the New Radicals album. Clearly this needs to be explored further.
