"It Doesn't Matter" is the first single released from Wyclef Jean's second studio album, The Ecleftic: 2 Sides II a Book. The track features additional vocals by Melky Sedeck and wrestler The Rock, whose famous catchphrase inspired the song title. The track also includes samples of "This Is Ska" by Bad Manners and "Mona Lisa" by Slick Rick. Upon its release in August 2000, it entered the UK Singles Chart at #3, its highest chart position, and went on to spend eight weeks on the charts. In the second verse, the line "Leave that crack alone" parodies Pink Floyd's 1979 song "Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)", which contained the line "Hey, teacher! Leave those kids alone." The song was also released in French, under the title "Ça ne me fait rien" for Quebec and French radio stations, with Jacky and Ben-J providing additional vocals. Some lines were changed for that version. e.g. "I got 50 Bentleys in the West Indies" was replaced by "J'ai 50 Bentley aux États-Unis", to fit the rhyme scheme.more »
