Release date: 1991
This song was the group's first (and only) number-one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, and also reached number 3 in the United Kingdom. It ranks number 81 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.
The line "Christina Applegate, you've gotta put me on" is a nod to the hip-hop classic "Bonita Applebum" by A Tribe Called Quest. In the second verse, the group mentions two hit songs from 1985. "Careless whisper from a careless man" refers to "Careless Whisper" by Wham!, and "A neutron dance for a neutron fan" makes reference to "Neutron Dance" by The Pointer Sisters.
