Structure
- The song, which runs for nearly nine minutes in the full 12" single version, features an infectious driving bass-line with a simple repeated E-G-A-B pattern.
- The song's repetitive chorus "say, oops upside your head/say oops upside your head", has led to the alternate name "Oops Upside Your Head".
- "Just because you don't believe that I wanna dance/don't mean that I don't want to" is also in the chorus, but is not as frequently mentioned and thus the shorter name is usually remembered.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
“What is the structure of government that will best guard against the precipitate counsels and factious combinations for unjust purposes, without a sacrifice of the fundamental principle of republicanism?”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“... the structure of our public morality crashed to earth. Above its grave a tombstone read, “Be tolerant—even of evil.” Logically the next step would be to say to our commonwealth’s criminals, “I disagree that it’s all right to rob and murder, but naturally I respect your opinion.” Tolerance is only complacence when it makes no distinction between right and wrong.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 2 (1962)
