    LOL, I'm sure you all think I am mad.

    But anyway, I cannot get it right. Is it the beat, or the number of "I knows"

    Thank you.

    I'm sick watching it on YouTube, and I just can't get the number of "I knows"!

    Me practising singing it for a party piece for info!

    20, take a breath and another 20. Depends how much you've had to drink and if you know the next line of the song

    Thanks. Still having a bit of a wobble getting it right, but practice makes perfect!

    Pity I don't have 26 fingers to count it on...

    I used to be with it, but then they changed what *it* was. Now what I'm with isn't *it*, and what's *it* seems weird and scary to me.

    He is great alright.

    Since you told me it's 26 "I knows", I'm going with blocks of Five, and one over, and THEN, back to the song. Well you know yourself!

    Thanks a million. Easy when someone else knows the drill!

    How do you turn a duck into a soul singer?
    Put it in an oven till it's bill withers.
