"Sucker DJ" (also known as "Sucker DJ's (I Will Survive)", or "Sucker DJ (A Witch for Love)") is a song by American rapper Dimples D. It was written by Buddy Kaye, Crystal Smith, Hugo Montenegro and Marlon Williams and originally released in 1983 by Party Time Records, without any success in the charts. In 1990, Dutch DJ and producer Ben Liebrand remixed the song, including a sample of the theme tune of American sitcom I Dream of Jeannie, written by Montenegro and Kaye.
After its re-release, the song became a hit in Europe, where it reached the top 10 in the Netherlands and number 17 in the United Kingdom. In Australia and New Zealand, it reached numbers one and two, respectively; in the former country, Dimples D. became the first female hip hop musician to achieve this milestone.[citation needed]
