"Dance Monkey" topped the official singles charts in over 30 countries and peaked within the top ten of many others, including the United States. The song broke the record for the most weeks at number one on the Australian singles chart at 24 non-consecutive weeks.^[4] It also broke the record for the most weeks spent at the top of the UK Singles Chart by a female artist with 11 weeks at the top. When it hit number four in the US, it became the first top-five hit solely written by a woman in over eight years

Is this the harlem shake of the new generation or something?

Why did the GP like this so much?

No idea

It's catchy.

It was very unique at the time. Sounded like nothing that’s been ever done.

A global smash the GP actually loves. No payola needed.

you asked a question and got an answer

Tasteless GP. It's literally migraine inducing. From the shitty lyrics to the 'VoCalS'. IT's all just WRONG

GP loves goofy (read: bad) songs. It's also why that terrible What Does the Fox Say song smashed.

Idk honestly

its a bop idk what to tell you. the last chorus always gets the hand claps from me

Novelty factor

Simple & repetitive. The kids had it on replay

Just because you personally don’t find it catchy, that doesn’t mean the rest of the world shares your opinion.

Wait entirely off topic but I've seen your posts on here for years and only just realised your profile picture isn't Ariana Grande

No clue. An atrocious song

It’s Namie Amuro! 

it’s a great song and it makes the kids move (I’ve worked in schools for years now, every kid dances to the song automatically)

The title is giving something that parents find "goofy" and "wacky" to play around their children

seethe, Tones & I is a cultural ICON and this generation's answer to Mariah Carey

True, especially the duck-like vocals stood out. 

I found it vomit-inducing the very first second I heard this abomination.

It's so bad that it's good. The GP loves a good novelty song.

Like! The girls that get it get it 

One of the few times the US got it right  

It's basically a kids song
