I need to know...

...does anyone remember this?!

This is no where related to weddings, lifestyles, etc., but I just had to ask. I've never heard of this song, but it was recently brought to my attention. Apparently, it was pretty popular back in the day, I completely missed it and now I'm completely fascinated. And because I had to research this further... :-)

From Wiki:
Jordy is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest singer ever to have a #1 charted single. He achieved this feat at the tender age of four-and-a-half with the song "Dur dur d'être bébé!" ("It's Tough to Be a Baby"). "Dur dur d'être bébé" was #1 for 15 weeks in France and was a dance hit across Europe, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia and Japan. It landed at #58 on the US charts.

However, in 1994, the French government banned six-year-old Jordy from television and radio, out of concern that he was being exploited by his parents. ...

The video...



And the performance...check Whitney Houston, Kenny G and others in the audience...

hahaha! This is too funny. I remember this growing up back home. We used to sing it all the time. Now looking back and realizing the song doesn't have more than 15 words is strangely amusing...yet disturbing.
Thanks for the memory!
