Yes, just like everyone else, I love this song. It still has the same resounding effect every time someone puts it on about 45 minutes into a playlist at a party.

While I think that anyone who uses their hands to imitate the gunshot and cash register sounds during the chorus looks like a total ass (see image above), I have a very important question. 

Everyone knows what to do with the gunshot sound (make a little gun with your thumb and index finger and shoot it in time with the song). But, I saw at least five different ways of imitating the cash register sound last night (all of them done by girls looking up at the ceiling with pursed lips). Which is the right one?
