The one thing I love about music is that everyone has their own story to tell – the musician, the lyrics, the way the fans decipher them and also the way a song can also create a memory or a meaning to someone. That is what this new article is all about. Each fortnight, we will take a look at a different song and I will take you as a trip down memory lane as to what it means to me. Welcome to Music Memories.

Track: Do You Really Like It?
Artist: DJ Pied Piper & The Master of Ceremonies
Original Release Date: 21st May 2001

We all have weird talents that if we were at a party or a conversation arose where we were to show these random things off then we would display these very niche things. Well today we are going to look at something that I can do and it relates to this song…..

This track was released when I was a kid, I have ALWAYS been a huge fan of music and I have always listened to a lot of it. I remember when this song came out I instantly found it incredibly catchy, there was a time in the early noughties when this style of music was incredibly popular but out of all of them this track was one of my favourites.

It is so weird, I can go years without hearing this song and I still know all the lyrics and can rap along to the track. It is one of a handful that I can do this to and it is the only one that is not an Eminem track. I do not know why I remember the lyrics so well as some of them are really fast or a bit random, but I do and it is a weird little party trick of mine.

Anytime I hear this song I have to sing along as I find it so catchy and really enjoy it and also it is fun to see that I still know the words.
