I want the poppiest of your europop, the danciest of your eurodance, all your macarenas and your barbie girls. Take me around the world, fly me so high from Bosnia to Ecuador. Hit me with the bluest of your blues (the dabadee kind, not the Mississippi Delta sad loser shit). Give me the pumpiest of your jams and the fritziest of your tittiest.

Dr Spin - Tetris and Ambassadors of Funk - SuperMarioLand
Both got into the UK top 10 in the early 90s.
I want to be a hippy and I want to get stoned on…
That seems to be a gabber version. The Flamman & Abraxas Radio Mix is the one that made the track popular, plus it has the music video.
Also, check out the origin of the vocal samples: David Peel’s ‘I Like Marijuana’. It’s quite something.
I absolutely love this group and album but I guess it sounds like it fits here… The Shamen - Destination Eschaton
Popcorn music is probably Romania’s biggest recent cultural export after depressing films that get nominated for the Palm d’Or.
‘Around the World’ is actually a cover of ‘Pesenka’ by Ruki Vverkh (meaning ‘A Song’ by Hands Up).
As is noted in your linked video, the popular version of ‘Macarena’ is the remix by Bayside Boys. The original is a bit different.
Dr. Alban was born in Nigeria and migrated to Sweden of all places, at 23 years old, and became a DJ to finance his study of dentistry. Curiously, there were plenty of people moving from Africa to Central and Northern Europe back then, supplying the demand for black MCs in eurodance.
‘Pump Up the Jam’ features model Felly Kilingi in the video, although the actual woman vocal was performed by Ya Kid K — who only got credited on the US reissue of the single, and appeared in the following video ‘Get Up (Before The Night Is Over)’.
A lot of new info here, thank you! You are a gentleman and a scholar of the fine art of eurotrash.
Käärijä x Basshunter - Ja Eller Nej just dropped today, and it’s terrible and glorious.
Here is one I’ll always remember
