Push it, push it, aaah!
In the summer of 2006, I was working promoting a phone company on some beaches along the Brazilian coast. I would park the van in front of the beach, turn on the music, which was quite loud and heavy, and the girls would go around handing out merchandise to the people on the beach. And on the CD they gave me to play, there was this track, which was definitely the coolest of all, so much energy in that song! It was my favorite, and I played it over and over again! Every time I listen to it, I remember those days. So perfect!! 🤩

Princess is really a ray of sunshine. Love her!
I love her, but she uses the word “Like” out of context so very often, that whe she uses the word “Like” IN proper contaxt, it, like, confuses the hell out of me!
I wanted all 3 girls in the video + me in a room, bathed in oil! That’s all I have to say about this ‘record’. PERFECT 😉
