History
"Ay Ay Ay Ay Moosey" was originally a UK hit for Modern Romance in 1981 and was included on their debut album, Adventures in Clubland (1981) as part of the Clubland Mix along with "Everybody Salsa", "Salsa Rappsody", and "Moose on the Loose". It was the single that introduced Modern Romance's new drummer, Andy Kyriacou. The single also made its way onto the compilation albums Party Tonight (1983) and Modern Romance: The Platinum Collection (2006). It was also a part of their farewell single, "Best Mix of Our Lives" (1985), an anthology single of the band's biggest hits. The lyrics were written by Deane in order to settle a £10 bet with a Turkish taxi driver, named Moosey, that he couldn't write a hit record with his name in the title,

In 2005 the track was rerecorded with new lyrics as 'I I I Love Barnet' to celebrate Barnet FC's promotion to the Football League.
