Yeah, I know - not very sophisticated but rather funny!

OK, now I'm going to contradict myself, because this music video isn't bouncy - but it made rather an impression on me at the time...

Queen: Innuendo

Oh, and by the way - can you spot the Flamenco influence in the Innuenco video? That's what attracted my attention in the first place, I think...

well this is just so cool

enjoy!

Surprisingly bouncy!

REM: Shiny Happy People (a love-hate relationship when it comes to me)

I'm pretty sure I saw a version of Kylie Minogue's Locomotion on MTV in the very early 90ies but I'm unable to find the video right now... it was on a roof top.

Uh-oh - I feel myself sliding into the late 80ies as well when it comes to bouncy music...

George Michael: Faith

Or George Michael: Papa was a rolling stone

At w**k right now where they aren't so keen on letting YouTube through... But there's some stuff there that sure brings memories back...

Locomotion, actually in the original Little Eve version, was a quite big hit among the UKian clientele on Mallorca in the early 90s. Yeah, I was there - on a business week, I have you believe!

I'll see if I can remember some to add once I'm home again. Actually, I know the music much better than the videos...

and fun indeed. I knew two Rednex songs - but I surely hadn't heard about the one titled (take a deep breath):

"The Sad But True Story Of Ray Mingus, The Lumberjack Of Bulk Rock City, And His Never Slacking Stribe In Exploiting The So Far Undiscovered Areas Of The Intention To Bodily Intercourse From The Opposite Species Of His Kind, During Intake Of All The Mental Condition That Could Be Derived From Fermentation (Harder Than Your Husband)"

*phew*

Weren't you supposed to add to the list, Santra?

Well, yes

Not bouncy - and not the music video because that I can't find. But still

Rednex reminds me of the clubbing days that I used to enjoy. This came out about the same time as I recall.

I remember Bomfank, but I always thought it was Boomfank - I guess I never saw it written, just heard it spoken... ah, sweet nostalgia...

*attempts to swap two 'a' with two 'u'*

Sorry, yet another Dr Bomnbay song: SOS:

And how about 90ies TV commercials? I remember this one making quite an impression on me, using Orff's Carmina Burana:
