[Eye of Ra]

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

This is so 90s and no, not a fan.

 

[DaaaaB's]

This is so 90s and no, not a fan.

Yeah, exactly. One of the most annoying one hit wonders from 30 years ago.

 

[HisIceness]

Every wedding I went to as a child and even sometimes now, this song was mandatory.

 

[Primary Assist]

Ah, now that's some classic 90s cultural appropriation

I pretty much assume that any song with a techno beat that isn't K-pop is from Europe.

The kind of annoying that gets stuck in your head and cannot be defeated, only replaced:

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

As much as I enjoy being hit over the head repeatedly with heavy mining equipment.

Yeah, I don't think many Eurodance bands came from Texas.

[Sigh]

First time I ever heard of them was when I went camping with a few buddies, and some dumbass a couple of sites over played Cotton-Eyed Joe on repeat all weekend rarely pausing. I've hated it ever since.

 

[Bowski]

As much as I "love" Surströmming.

Darn Swedes, polluting culinary and musical arts with their fermented garbage.
"I saw the sign. And it opened up my eyes..."

holy shit there so many people in the band that they do three gigs on the same day in different places

Yes! Let's go there :

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Painful memories of every hockey rink blasting euro trash music in the mid-90s.

Yes! Let's go there :

Fun fact about Shampoo. They released a song called Girl Power, 3 weeks before the Spice Girls dropped their first song

 

[Eye of Ra]

 

[Kevinsane]

Playing on a continual loop in Hell but in mono.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Such an oddly specific and gimmicky/silly band to start a thread about. If OP likes them, cool deal. But I'd be surprised if anyone else even thinks of them outside of being subjected to Cotton-Eye Joe at a wedding or line dance bar.
