Hattie told Mattie, "Let's don't take no chance, Let's not be L-7, Come and learn to dance"

TIL: L-7. Make an L with one hand, a 7 with the other, bring them together and what do you get? Square.

Which is where the band L7 gets its name.

Kicker used to make a square subwoofer in the early 2000s called the L7

the "uno, dos, one two tres quatro" count-in is the best part and it makes zero sense, he just counts in two languages and then nobody plays on beat anyway. put it on a run playlist once and genuinely ran faster

Only thing arguably funnier is Bono in Spanish 1,2,3,14 in elevation.  The singer Sam the sham identified as Mexican-American. So you can get a bit more enjoyment out of him counting in two languages.

I always think of The Chipmunk Adventure when I hear this song. “Wurry Burry!!!”

We recorded a Cajun French version on Micheal Doucet and Cajun Brew back in the 80’s. Fun.

An all timer for me. I will drop everything I’m doing for this song and have done so since age 7.

Listened to this in a taxi from Lima airport to Lima Hilton. The taxi broke down in front of Hilton. The driver was not amused.
