The History Of Jop Part 11 aka Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps

1989, the number, another poll - something to do while you count the minutes until POPTIMISM TONIGHT AT THE UNION TAVERN (ahem).

Only EIGHT picks this time because Tone Loc's "Wild Thing" was a duplicate.

Why isn't Doowutchyalike* getting more ticks? Vastly prefer it to "Me Myself and I." Did it fail to score east of the Atlantic?

(*I think this is the correct spelling.)

*As opposed to how I spelled it in my comment title. (Clonks self on head.)

It wasn't a hit, but I first heard it on a really generic "Intro To Hip Hop" type compilation so it's definitely not obscure.

Digital Underground not v big in UK. I remember loving their name but wasn't able to get into their stuff as much at the time.

The real crime is that according to Chart Runs, 'Doowutchyalike' charted one place higher than the superb 'Humpty Dance' at #79 and #80 respectively.
