Expert: MartinStJohn Date: 11/5/2007 Subject: dance song
Question there is this really good dance song i love- it's a woman singer, all i remember is the lyrics.. i can't help myself,i can't help myself. repeated. anyone know what that is?
Answer K, the song is "i can't help it" by Happy Clappers. This song, with it's big piano sound is still a huge circuit anthem. It was from 1997 or 98..there have been some update remixes of it since that time, the original remains the best however.
