The Vengaboys are from the Netherlands. Dutch bands don't usually have worldwide hits, but in 1998 and 1999, it did. It was a top 10 hit in most of Europe, and a top 30 hit in the US.
There's nothing particularly special about the song. It's a typical dance song, with a great beat - 136 bpm, for those who pay attention to such things. You could probably work out to it, or ride a rollercoaster to this tune.
Wait....
Why did I mention rollercoasters?
Because in 2004, the song had a bit of a resurgence in the US, when Six Flags used it in a pretty popular set of commercials.
They were.... weird.
There absolutely was more than one, yes. Why do you ask?
Of course, if you don't like the song, The Vengaboys later released a "silent" version of the video, without the music, but with some sound effects and speaking parts. It's..... weird. But it's satisfying.
But you aren't here because you don't like the song.
You're here because you want to know if they are still togehter and if they actually perform the song live.
They are. And they do. And THE CROWD KNOWS THE WORDS.
