It's repetitive, catchy, and the title is said multiple times throughout the song.

>The novelty value.
This. We're in another period where novelty songs are super popular. I think it's a cycle that goes around every 30 years. Novelty shit was super popular in the '50s, it was super popular in the '80s, and it's super popular again in the 2010s.

Looks like no one has mentioned it, but the little dance that came with that song helpful in popularizing it. Look at the macarena and how popular that got.

I thought this song was just a meme. Like I assumed it was only played because it was objectively terrible.
