Haddaway - "What Is Love"
Recorded by Trinidadian-German Eurodance artist Haddaway for his debut album, The Album, this song was released on May 8th 1993 as the album's lead single. It was a massive hit in Europe, becoming a number-one hit in at least 13 countries and reaching number two in Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Outside Europe, the song was moderately successful, reaching number 11 in the United States, number 12 in Australia, number 17 in Canada, and number 48 in New Zealand.
Often made fun of as a silly club song it is still something incredible to have been as popular as it was able to be.
Also, boyfriend couldn’t get it out of his head last night at bedtime and snuck it into my brain right before I fell asleep. It IS a catchy tune.
So today, with a healthy dose of irony and inspiration, I choose Haddaway’s “What Is Love” as my, laugh at yourself, remember your own silliness, take a deep breath and keep going, song for a, walk on with a smile, look forward to the funny, find the light where you can, Monday.
