I played this for my family after threatening to play "bad music until you brush your teeth" and they all just sat there enjoying it.

At one point they danced. I'm just in smithereens here.

This song just reminds me of elementary school gym class 😫

This is one of my favorite Belgian techno anthems from 1989.
