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.
The worst of the worst from the mid 90s. All of them produced in Germany. Dark times…
Those are really bad, downright disgusting. I hate them all and I’m adding them to my playlist. Thanks!
TF… Rhythm is a Dancer is a jam.
I had a critical amount of exposure to it in the 90s. My body is refusing to accept that anyone likes this song, despite it having 277 million views on Youtube.
Oh, they’ve got the power, too.
Also a favorite :)
Came here to suggest Culture Beat, got ninjad.
Fun fact: Blümchen is 46 years old currently.
Honestly shocked she’s only 4 years older than me, cause when she was on Viva, I was a child and I saw her as an adult.
Yeah, I only recently found this out and was computing for a couple minutes straight. Turns out she was about sixteen when ‘Herzfrequenz’ was released. This of course means that she neither wrote nor produced the songs, unlike Marusha for example. Worse even, I’ve looked through her more-recent albums, including those released in 2000s-2020s under her actual name Jasmin Wagner, and she’s not credited as the writer or producer on any of them.
That said, her songs are certified bangers.
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.
Here is one I’ll always remember
The prequel to TarzanI 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.
Käärijä x Basshunter - Ja Eller Nej just dropped today, and it’s terrible and glorious.

A medley of everything eurotrash.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLBHc6DGbZQ‘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.
Dr Spin - Tetris and Ambassadors of Funk - SuperMarioLand
Both got into the UK top 10 in the early 90s.
