eurodance was the dance sound in germany in the middle of the 90s, which was the most popular. Tons of these tunes went top 10 here. The thing was to get a shit standard rapper, a women who can sing and a standard synth bassline with 4 to the floor beat under it. :) I must say I like this cold mechanic formularic sound, some of the refrains have really top melodies and the words of the rappers are mostly pure fun. Just like the synth bassline as loud as it can be. Top choons of this style were (biggest commercial success choons):

Captain Hollywood Project - More & More
Culture Beat - Mr. Vain
Ace Of Base - All That She Wants
Co.Ro. - Because The Night
La Bouche - Be My Lover
MC Sar & The Real McCoy - Another Night
Corona - The Rhythm Of The Night
Cappella - U Got To Let the Music
2 Unlimited - No Limit
Pharao - I Show You Secrets
Maxx - Get-A-Way
Ice MC - Think About the Way
Whigfield - Saturday Night
E-Rotic - Max Dont Have Sex
Marky Mark - United
DJ Bobo - Somebody Dance With Me
Mo-Do - 1 2 Polizei
Snap - Rhythm Is A Dancer

I know some are really toooooooooo shitty like Mo-Do ;), but in whole there is enough funny stuff in this style. What did you think?

The list is just a list of some of the biggest commercial successes not of my personal views on thwese tunes. There are many tunes I havent mentioned here which I like in this genre. Just wanted to say that there were some very baaaaaaad ones like Mo-Do - 1 2 polizei, K2 - Der Berg Ruft or Eine Insel Mit Zwei Bergen. Seems like the most shitty eurodance tunes have german speech. :D .

Apart from Snap 'I'm as serious as cancer, when I say the rhythm is a dancer', for pure comedy value, the rest are serious shite.

I quite liked Haddaway 'What is love' though... I was a student at the time mind :$ :|

Even as a nipper when all of this "music" came out I realised it was shitter than a big bag of shit, with shit things inside and SHIT wrote on it.

Nope. Not for me.

I would rather eat a dog shit sandwich than listen to any of that........ :hurl:

Im guilty of a few cappella's from that era, and I got DJ BOBO dance with me in about 1992/3 but I was young then! It was only £2 lol. I also fess up to Corona - rhtym of the night, cos i was well up for the piano mix at the time, maybe the Rapino Bros or something lol, MASH - U dont have to say U love me, and Pharo - I believe (or something).....Motiv8 Break the Chain, thats still pretty banging in a cheesey piano motiv8 way!.

:$ . It was a phase. Sorry. lol

'Im the James Brown of Rap, i use all my own lyrics' BOLLOX!!!! it was JVC Force, in the track called 'Strong island' :) Turbo you thievin' barstool lol :)
