It;s an internet meme, it reached 20 on the UK Singles charts.

This is from the link:
"BBC Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills started a campaign on October 30, 2006 to get the song to #1 in the UK singles chart. A link was put up on the BBC website to the video on YouTube. Although the song did not reach the top, the campaign pushed the song all the way up to #20, which became its peak. It is one of the current at-bat songs of New York Mets shortstop José Reyes, Cleveland Indians third baseman Andy Marte, and Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus. Additionally, Arizona Diamondbacks Catcher Miguel Montero used this song in the 2007 season."

It's a Diamondback's theme song. And a Texas Ranger's. You really can't compare your band to something that's obviously got a little popularity to it. I never said it was Led Zeppelin IV level, but it clearly has some popularity.
Who could forget publicity stunts from BBC DJs and the theme songs of unheard baseball players (also referred to as baseball players without steroid scandals)?

Oh, WISSK is your band name? I googled it, nothing came up.


WISSK is an acronym for Wolves in Sheepskin, moron. Everyone knows that.
