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:
“One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“If rightly made, a boat would be a sort of amphibious animal, a creature of two elements, related by one half its structure to some swift and shapely fish, and by the other to some strong-winged and graceful bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
