[Grooving to Classic Albums] Eurobeat Around the World: Recommended Popular Tracks (31–40)
Blue (Da Ba Dee)Eiffel 65
A track characterized by auto-tuned vocals, nonsensical lyrics, and a catchy melody.
It was released in 1999 by the Italian music group Eiffel 65.
It was sampled in Uzi’s 2014 track “Blue.”
Toy BoySinitta
Here’s a song released in 1987 by Sinitta, a singer who was born in the United States but made her career in the UK.
The lyrics are about leading a cute boy around like a toy.
In Japan, a comparable song would be Candies’ “Toshishita no Otokonoko” (“Younger Boy”).
Sinitta’s mother was also a singer, and Sinitta herself was engaged to Simon Cowell, who discovered and produced her, and dated Brad Pitt when he was still unknown—perhaps living out the theme of the song in real life.
Captain JackCaptain Jack
A song released in 1995 by the German Eurodance group Captain Jack.
It is included on their debut album.
The track was a hit in Germany, Belgium, and Austria, and achieved particular success in the Netherlands.
NagisaMelody.
From the mellow feel of the intro to the gradual build as the beat kicks in, it really gets me hyped.
Avex is so good at producing Eurobeat artists, aren’t they? With Eurobeat on the verge of a revival right now, Nagisa’s “Melody” is definitely one you can’t miss!
Rhythm Of The NightCorona
A track released in 1993 by the Italian Eurodance band Corona.
It reached the Top 10 on charts around the world and was certified Gold in the UK, Germany, France, and Australia.
It was inspired by Say When!’s 1987 track “Save Me.”

The Loco-MotionKYLIE MINOGUE
Kylie Minogue is a singer-songwriter from Australia.
She also worked as an actress, so those who lived through the late 1980s may already know her.
She has produced several hit songs, but one of her most popular works is The Loco-Motion.
Since it’s a track from a time before the Eurobeat genre was established as it is today, it feels different from modern Eurobeat.

I Heard A RumourBananarama
Bananarama is a pop music vocal group formed in the UK in 1979.
This song was released in 1987 and was also used in the film Disorderlies.
It became one of their biggest hits in the United States, reaching No.
