“Once I heard the music, it was clear to me that this would go on for a long time. “It was already in my head a long time, from the lyrics and the quest from people to look for it,” he says. It’s hard for him to have qualms about a song that lived in his own mind before finding a permanent home in a hit single. Still, “What Is Love” remains the centerpiece of Haddaway’s legacy by wider estimations of pop culture. (He’ll have more music out later this year.) Widzie the tekst piosenki z BEAUTIFUL LIFE ze Ace Of Base z A Night at the Roxbury 1998 (movie). The Trinidad-born singer has always been bigger in Germany, but in 2013, he scored a Top 20 dance hit in America once again with “ Up and Up.” If you’ve come to think of Haddaway as frozen in mid-’90s dance music trends, I’d suggest not ruining that leather-vested wonderland for yourself by listening to the Auto-Tuned EDM banger. Now 50, Haddaway lives in Austria and spends time in Germany, where he moved from Maryland in the late ’80s and began pursuing a career in dance music. For me, it has to do with trust, honesty, and dedication.” “I meant that ‘what is love’ needs to be defined by everyone by his own definition. “People always ask me about what I meant,” he writes to Flavorwire. So I emailed Haddaway to ask him, simply, “What is love?” Still, I wondered what the song was intended to convey. There’s something kind of beautiful about a song that ponders the meaning of love and ultimately comes away begging for mercy, bringing pleasure - laughter, kitsch, rapture on the dance floor - to its listeners. More than 20 years since its release, “What Is Love” ranks alongside Ace of Base’s “ The Sign,” The Real McCoy’s “ Another Night,” and La Bouche’s “ Be My Lover” as one of the greatest Eurodance singles to ever reach the American pop charts. 11 on the Hot 100 in 1993, but the song grew more culturally relevant throughout the decade, thanks to its Roxbury ties.

We laugh now at how dated its beats sound, or at the mere thought of Ferrell and Kattan’s Butabi brothers bobbing their heads in those shiny suits, but Haddaway hit a nerve with people who wanted to dance away the pain.

#A NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY BEAUTIFUL LIFE MOVIE#
Though “What Is Love” has become synonymous with Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan’s hapless attempts at club-going on Saturday Night Live and in the 1998 movie spinoff A Night at the Roxbury, there’s something truly sad about the song. “Baby don’t hurt me no more” is Too Real. Or, at least that’s what the “What Is Love” video suggested to me as a child. Long before I came to my own conclusions about matters of the heart, I thought love - at least from where Eurodance sensation Haddaway stood - was all about giving in to blood-sucking dominatrices, dancing your way through scary places, and risking electrocution. It also holds up considerably well and as someone already said here it’s timeless. “What is love?” may be the most complex question in all of pop music history. Roxbury holds a special place in my heart (I was in high school when it came out and the comedy was peak me at the time), but Wayne’s World is a superior film IMHO.
