[2] It went on to become the eighth best-selling single of 1984 in the UK,[3] (and over one million copies worldwide) despite not being included on the playlist for BBC Radio 1 because it "was not credible".

[5] A 2003 poll for Q magazine saw a panel of music writers vote "Agadoo" as the worst song of all time, saying: "It sounded like the school disco you were forced to attend, your middle-aged relatives forming a conga at a wedding party, a travelling DJ act based in Wolverhampton, every party cliche you ever heard.

[6] The song's origins date back to 1970, when Michel Delancray and Mya Symille recorded it as "Agadou" in French.

[7][8] The Black Lace group was made up during its heyday by the duo of performers Colin Gibb and Alan Barton.

The lyrics were changed to reference the eponymous character, Bugalu, a mascot from Viva a Noite, his Saturday night show.

A second cover, using the same lyrics as Sigga's, by Icelandic artist Laddi, was recorded in 2010, using an instrumental directly based on Black Lace's.

[citation needed] The British TV series Auf Wiedersehen Pet features the Black Lace version when the character Oz uses a jukebox and selects a random track; appalled at the song once it plays, he kicks the machine to make it stop and derisively comments "Aga-bloody-doo!?"

In 1994, the song was featured on the Chilean game show Cachureos with new lyrics in Spanish as "Haga Pipi," which describe remembering to go to the bathroom before going to bed to avoid bed-wetting accidents.

The band was asked by their record company to add "Agadoo" on a single, the actual track used, was performed by Black Lace.

German group Die Lollipops recorded a version called "So Wie Du" with unrelated lyrics on their 2005 album Wir Wolln Spass.

Black Lace members Colin Gibb and Rob Hopcraft then used the song for a special charity 'Agadoo Day'.

On 20 March 2009, it was announced that the song was being released in a new version by Dene Michael, who joined the band in 1987 along with Ian Robinson.

[6] A video for the release, titled "Agadoo" (Mambo 2009 remix), was directed by Bruce Jones, who played Les Battersby in television soap opera Coronation Street.

A cover of "Agadoo" with lyrics about the New Year was featured on the December 31, 2016, special of the Russian adaptation of The Voice Kids.

Ulrika Jonsson was introduced in the comedy panel show, Shooting Stars in a parody version of the song.
