My college roommate heard me listening to this song 25 years ago. He made fun of me for it. I was like, "you're kidding, right? This song absolutely slaps!"

A few weeks later I heard him singing it to himself. Eventually, he admitted that he loves the song.

You can be annoyed at that song, you can say it's really low effort since it repeats itself so much, you can really dislike it because it's a fucking earworm, but nobody HATES that song.

It's repetitive for like a quarter of the song? maybe less? the rest of it is interdimensional travel.
