Not only was the title changed, but all the lyrics for the entire song were re-written too. But it purely doesn’t make sense, though. Why not write a song about a popular dance while it’s at its peak? I know they were not the ones that came up with the dance, but they wrote the song, & it was an original by them. It was/would’ve been another great one to help amplify the popularity of it, encourage people who listened to try it out more, plus help it gain more appreciation. Even though the re-written hit version was proven to be better sounding, a lot snappier, & even slightly more or rather just perfectly on key compared to the original version.
