Purposely sung off key for humor.

I heard a drunk couple do this once at a karaoke bar and they nailed it!
Anyway, I never found this amusing and there's not much to brag about. I was never bothered by it though. It just kinda....exists.

This was his biggest hit chart-wise but I prefer several others from him, such as "The Vapors". I heard this as an old school cut on WGCI when I was younger but didn't like it due to the bad singing during the choruses (without realizing that Biz Markie sung off-key on purpose for humor-related reasons). However, my opinion of this song changed and I do enjoy it once in a while. It seems to be a favorite among internet memesters. Also, I do remember R&B singer Mario's remake of this song in 2002 but prefer the Biz Markie original.
