"Sweat (A La La La La Long)" is a song by Jamaican reggae fusion band Inner Circle, released in July 1992 by Warner Records as the lead single from their twelfth album, Bad to the Bone (1992). It was written by the band's Ian and Roger Lewis, and produced by them with another band member, Touter Harvey. Song was vocalised by a past member Calton Coffie. It became a number-one hit in Belgium, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Switzerland, and Zimbabwe. In the US, it reached numbers 16 and 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Cash Box Top 100. The accompanying music video, depicting the group on the beach, was directed by Mathias Julien. Australian music channel Max included "Sweat (A La La La La Long)" in their list "1000 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2017. [1]

Critical reception

The song received favorable reviews from music critics. Larry Flick from Billboard noted that it "clips along at a fun and swaying pace. Topping on the cake is a sing-along refrain and chorus that will be the soundtrack to a bright summer day." [2] Troy J. Augusto from Cash Box stated, "Actually, this incredibly catchy and brisk pop/raga-tune will rule the summer airwaves as the band sweats all the way to the bank." [3] Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report named it a "winner", adding, "one listen—slam dunk!" [4] Another Gavin Report editor, Rod Edwards, wrote that "complete with a "sing-along" chorus, the reggae/dancehall appeal of this song should continue their success in the U.S." [5]

In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton said that "Sweat (A La La La La Long)" "is certainly a cod-reggae classic to rank alongside Girly Girly and Real Fashion Reggae Style which were both Top 10 hits in the mid-80s." [6] James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update described it as an "appealing but old fashioned pop reggae swayer". [7] Malaysian newspaper New Straits Times constated that "their pop-reggae may not be all that provocative or tough-edged, but it's supple and eminently hummable." [8] Andrew Love from Ocala Star-Banner picked the song as one of the "greats" on their Bad Boys album. [9] Mark Sutherland from Smash Hits declared it as "a bounce-along beach party of a choon with a "la la la" chorus". [10]

Music video

A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by Mathias Jullien. [12] In the video, the band performs the song on the beach among bathers. They are often seen in front of female dancers and a colorful backdrop in green, red and yellow. Other times, the band performs on a stage, in front of a large crowd. Occasionally the footage is in black and white. The video was later made available on YouTube in 2009, and had generated more than 145 million views as of February 2024. [13] Julien would also be directing the video for the group's 1994 hit single "Games People Play".

Covers and adaptations

The popularity of the song has resulted in many covers and even parodies. The song in Malaysia spawned a parody song by Poe called "Alalalala Tuk (Jangan Saman)" ("Please Officer, Don't Fine Me"). [14]
