What is Love, by Haddaway, a Trinidadian-German Eurodance artist. The 1993 song was from his debut album The Album, the song was far more successful in Europe than it was elsewhere, and is one of the most recognisable songs of the 90s.

Its popularity in the US seems to stem primarly from the SNL sketch where it was used as a stand-in for generic club music in the 90s. The sketch was so loved, it joined the lineup of SNL sketches-turned-feature-films in "A Night at the Roxbury." It currently enjoys a certain amount of memetic status alongside "Never Gonna Give You Up" and "Sandstorm."
TheEvilDog:
Yeah, but let's put it this way - the highest the song reached in the US billboard chart was #11.
All across Europe it reached #1. The lowest it reached in the actual EU was #2 in the UK. It was an immensely popular song and when various shows were looking back on music in the run-up to 2000, that song was pretty much guaranteed to be in the top ten of the dance charts.
Roborat:
Firstly, that was damn close to a rick roll, nice job Jeph.
Secondly, May's stream of consciousness swearing is almost as good as Sydney's.
Perfectly Reasonable:
I am not at all impressed with Sydney's word salad swears. They lack rhythm. A good swear has meter, just like a poem.
