It was a hit even in the country I was living in then far outside of Texas. It was so ridiculous and catchy it played at every discotheque and on the radio which was still a thing then.

Well you should have been listening to Rap music from Houston. This was a huge meme from then, it was Mike Jones’s actual phone number and it became an international hit lol. I never bothered to dial internationally to try it tho.

I'm Canadian and I recognized it but only after reading the description "Mike Jones"

Back then... they didn't want him 😮
