HADDAWAY - WHAT IS LOVE
A one-hit retrospective
Todd: Welcome back to One Hit Wonderland, where we take a look at bands and artists known for only one song. And today–
Haddaway: (singing) What is love?
Baby don't hurt me
Todd looks around in confusion, before cutting to footage of the music video for the song of discussion
Haddaway: What is love?
What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me.
Todd is seen dancing in his seat to the music
Baby, don't hurt me no more
Todd: I wonder if I can do this the entire episode. [stops dancing] No, no, no, it's starting to fuck up my neck. Baby don't hurt me, indeed.
Haddaway: Hey hey
Todd (VO): Anyway we're going back to the wonderful wacky world of Eurodance. In fact, this may be the Eurodance song of the entire '90s. Although at this point, it's more meme than song.
Todd: The man we're gonna be talking today is German bass singer...
Todd (VO): Haddaway. And Haddaway had a hit. A big hit. A big hit that asked a big question.
Todd: A big hit that asked a big question. The question that has bedeviled the entire history of popular music.
Haddaway: What is love?
Todd: No seriously, what is love?
Todd (VO): I've listened to a lot of music and I've heard so many different possible answers to this question. [Montage clips of Wet Wet Wet - "Love Is All Around"; Pat Benatar - "Love Is a Battlefield"; "Love Is an Open Door" from Frozen; The Beatles - "All You Need is Love"] "Love is all around", "love is a battlefield, "love is an open door", "love is all you need". A billion different ideas that never came together.
Todd: Pop music never came up with a unified theory of love.
Todd (VO): Haddaway didn't try to answer it. What he had was existential confusion...
Todd: ...which he wailed in anguish.
Haddaway: What is love?
Todd (VO): And then Haddaway went away. But no one has ever forgotten him. Not the least because [clip of The Roxbury Guys skit...] Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan then spent the rest of the '90s pounding it into our head. One of a [...and More Cowbell...] very long list of songs that [...and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy] Will Ferrell has cast his long shadow over.
Clip of Blades of Glory sample from "Niggas in Paris"
Will Ferrell: Gets the people going
Todd: But try and put that out of your [another clip of The Roxbury Guys] bopping head for one moment. Before it was a joke that...
Clips of A Night at the Roxbury and "What is Love" video
Todd (VO): ...somehow got stretched into a feature-length movie, it was a real song. Let us explore the man...
Todd: ...behind the meme.
Female singer: Whoa, uh, uh
