The song has a wordless chorus, repeating "la da dee, la da da" over and over. There was a practical reason for this: When Waters came up with the vocal melody, the syllables were too short to use actual words. This section represents what the gypsy woman is singing.
It peaked at number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100 and at number two in the UK Singles Chart, and it went to number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. "Gypsy Woman" also earned Waters three American Music Award nominations.
