Blast from the Pop Past - Sweet Bounce, or whoop! whoop!

My wife used to be totally obsessed with this song. The sax line is so bad that it's like listening to nails scraping along a blackboard. Then I found out my secretary liked that song too, but she brought up something interesting.

"I can't understand a single word of the lyrics," she told me.

I thought about it. I can only understand the word saxophone and the "whoop whoop" in that mess. What language is that? Portuguese? German? Zulu?

TRY ENGLISH!
