The song was his highest-charting single in Japan, reaching no. 16. The song is based on a series of catchy loops of party lyrics.

The commercials feature a slightly different mix of the track and feature Scatman speaking Japanese and promoting the product in a variety of situations, interacting with the Japanese performers. There were 4 different commercials in total, the 2nd and 4th being slight variations on the 1st and 3rd.

There was also a music video for this track. It begins with Scatman producing a bunch of flowers like a magic trick, and goes on to show Scatman riding around in a circle on a miniature trike. Later shots show Scatman dancing in a CGI kitchen and in what looks like a cellar.

gollark: Yes.
gollark: The government here *is* apparently happy to pass stuff like the investigatory powers bill.
gollark: That doesn't seem to be a particularly universal view there, given the popularity of gun control stuff and the fact that as far as I know quite a lot of places still have knife restrictions.
gollark: Doesn't that also describe the US to quite a significant degree?
