"What's Up?" is a rock song written by Linda Perry for 4 Non Blondes' debut album Bigger, Better, Faster, More! (1992). It was released as the album's second single in 1993 (see 1993 in music). It was very successful in Brazil^[1] and in several European countries, peaking at number one in Poland, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, Ireland, Norway and the Netherlands.

Background and writing

Despite the title, the song does not contain the phrase "what's up?" Rather, the lyric "what's goin' on?" is prominently included in the chorus. The title was chosen to avoid confusion with the 1971 R&B song and album "What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye.^[2]

Critical reception and chart performances

On VH1's 100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders, "What's Up?" ranks number 94.^[3] Similarly, it is ranked number 19 on Spinner.com's list of the "Top 20 Worst Songs Ever".^[4] Most recently, in September 2010, Matthew Wilkening of AOL Radio ranked the song at number 20 on the list of the 100 Worst Songs Ever, calling it "[t]he sonic equivalent of those 'hang in there' posters with the cat on a tree limb, except much screechier."^[5]

The recording received considerable airplay success. It reached number 14 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and went gold, but peaked higher throughout the rest of the world, reaching number one in Germany and Ireland, while reaching number two in the United Kingdom and Australia. The song was remixed by DJ Miko in 1994, reaching number six in the United Kingdom.

Use on the Internet

A dance cover of the song was used in a popular viral video in which, some, most, or the whole song was played over clips from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, with the clips all edited together cleverly to make He-man appear to be singing. Know Your Meme, a site summarizing Internet Memes, says the video "is a popular trolling tool for use on Synchtube.com to annoy the users of each individual synch." The site goes on to call it "a derivative of the Rickroll". There are multiple versions of the video on YouTube, the most viewed video as of March 2012 has over 11 million views.
