Sun is shining, the weather is sweet
Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know ya, where I stand

I thought it was a hit in around 1995 in England, U.K. not 1999 .
I even remember the Funxstar Deluxe bit ! I have a good memory for music !
Fantastic and, the song is sampled again in 2013 by Stephen Marley sounding great now on Mixcloud !

Absolute banger, sound of the summer. It’s aged so well, it sounds as fresh as ever.
