    Sir Reggie;
    I'm the chap that called you a one-hit wonder in Wikipedia (working to flesh out their chap-hop section, being one of their chief editors on steampunk music). I may now have to revisit that paragraph. And gladly so! (The "one-hit-wonder" phrase has already been redacted.)
    Best in your continued endeavors!

    Man the 5 fingers on his right (our left) hand at 2:14 still messes with my brain to this day. I constantly go back in the video and count every single finger in almost every frame. Now it's become a routine to look every few months to make sure I'm not going mad because it just pops in my head (I blame the song for being so catchy)
