mässig

not so good......yeah it was #1 in U.S.A but 'All that she wants is much better....
***
oh ja...das hab ich immer gehört wie ich so um die 3 oder 4 war...als wär es gestern gewesen....wird immer für mich im ohr bleiben...

Catchy eurodance. UK#2 and Ireland#2.
*****
I don't really think its massive chart success around the world is indicative of how good it is, but it's pleasant for the most part. Probably just lacks a little bit of oomph.

good 90's song
***
ok...<br><br>i always got this confused with All That She Wants
***
Just okay, and All That She Wants is a bit better.
*****
Thank goodness the US insisted on extra songs for their debut release in the States otherwise we wouldn't have gotten this gem of a song. I have always preferred this over All That She Wants.
******
Love it, such a classic song!
******
Their signature song and biggest hit... amazing song in every way, but not their best as All That She Wants is for me possibly the greatest debut of all time
******
ace of bace definetly sounded a lot of the same but 'the sign'is a brilliant reminder of the 90's and how good they were
****
good enough
****
Good song, but I prefer All That She Wants.
***
It's alright.
******
Awesome track, so catchy and fun, I like it better than All That She Wants.
******
I too always got it confused with All That She Wants,. Much prefer it though.
******
Classic pop song with a reggae feel (from Sweden of all places). Great to sing and dance to.
****
Peaked at #6 on my personal chart.<br><br>P = 78

good

Can't help but love this, despite it's clear cheesiness. That was the great thing about the nineties, you could enjoy songs despite how cheesy they actually were. Ace of Base were a great example of this. This and "All That She Wants" are both equally great. <br><br>On a sidenote, I am always reminded of this song because of South Park.
******
Awesome eurodance track. Just that little bit better than All That She Wants

6 stars
******
That keyboard is kind of similar to 'All That She Wants'. But the song seems more bubbly and full of life, even though it is only slightly faster. Definitely their best. 5.5*
***
The music is cool, but the lyrics and their performance annoy me for some reason.<br><br>"All That She Wants" is much better.
**
Quite annoying.
****
It's a wonderful classic from the 1990s, it's in the key of G major and features a 50s chord progression in its chorus (1645).
*****
De strakke reggaepop met typische Deniz Pop omlijsting ligt prima in het gehoor. En dus naast een verkoop succes wederom een airplay kneiter voor het Zweedse viertal.
*****
Very nice
**
Whateverness 2.4*
