[edit] History
It became notable outside its usual fanbase for its repetitive lyrics. The word "no" appears in the UK radio edit of the track 72 times and hence it was thus parodied by Spitting Image as "No Lyrics". Nonetheless, in 1993 in an NME interview, Mark E Smith of The Fall claimed it was one of his favourite songs.
Like previous releases, the UK version of the single removed all of the raps from Raymond Slijngaard, leaving just Anita Dels' vocals. One word from the rap was kept, the word 'Techno' (from the line "I'm making techno and I am proud") which was looped and repeated during the middle of the song, turning the line into "Techno! Techno! Techno! Techno!" and giving the song an extra vocal hook.
Like many artists in 2000, 2 Unlimited released the Millennium editions of their more popular tracks. It featured underground sounding trance remixes by some well known producers from Belgium, Japan & the U.K. It had little success in the charts due its non-commercial approach.
