  • Great Video!! Does anyone know any other songs from the 1990's that sounded happy and just, ahh, like this? We need to all fill our minds with this positive energy and heal the world : )

  • Its not surprising that 90s videos where so much more memorable and creative than now, it just fits with music that can only be described in the same way.

  • thumbs up if you listen to this in 2012!

  • This song reminds me "we found love" by Rihanna

  • Comment removed

  • always reminds me of my summers as a child back when nothing mattered, this sone somehow just makes all your stress melt away :)

  • i remember i was afraid of the people in this video when i was little

  • I remembered this song only from the fact that people dressed up like african animals in the video. /u Finding it was quite a challenge u/.

  • I FINALLY FOUND THIS SONG!!!!!

  • I guess with tigers going extinct, we have to improvise.

  • Love the sample but Jakaranda or GTFO

  • I'm overjoyed to have finally found the song!!!! <3 XD

  • Electronica y Peñarol Love

  • 101 death people disliked this song i am not 1 of them people

  • bloody fucking found it!!!!!

  • The Dream Academy

  • ahh....the song me and my family argued over.... ahaha, NOOO IM THE LION, NOO I AM, SO IM THE ZEBRA, NOOO IM THE ZEBRA, ahahha XD, good memories,

  • what an era to be a part of -- tunes like this NEVER GET OLD !!

  • All my worries go away this song. So glad I lived my childhood in the 90s !

  • I love you. I've been thinking about this song for years and such a coincidence that I heard it today and also found the video.

  • Reminds me of summer holidays in the 90s :D

  • I was staying over at my boyfriend's, and in the morning his radio came on and this was playing. That was possibly the only time I didn't object to being woken up at 9am

  • Definition of 90's mentality!

  • Been looking for this song for ages, LOVE IT!

  • <3 I was really young when I first heard this on the radio. I was going to the airport staring out the window and just loved it so much... then it ended =(, I still remember making a promise to find the name of this song :3 Yayss!

  • I was only 3 or 4 when this song was popular. I remember requesting this on the music video channel with my Dad, then recording it to VHS. It got so much play over the next few years it stopped working, so happy to be able to watch it again. Thanks uploader :)

  • its taken me a very very long time to find this song and now that ive found it, i think i might add another 100 or so views to it.

  • damn, i used to love this one!

  • Best of Trance vol 2 3 and 4 all were Dead Amazing.

  • trance music

  • I was used to watch mtv about years 1993-1998, and this song was stood in my mind. about top-3 class in those times.

  • this is class

  • @theboytorres2011 Irish?

    

  • I was born in 1987 and this is my favourite song of the 90's :) I just love this tune!

  • I was born in the early 80's which meant I 'came of age' during the 90's - which also meant the effect music like this and much of the 90's became a soundtrack to my formative years. Plus, we had 'Jump Around' by House of Pain which is like a Best Decade of Ages Trump Card... Oh, and 'Sound of da Police' by KRS1

  • omg brings me tooo much memories from italyy

  • Been trying to find this song for so long. THANK YOU REDDIT!! :D

  • I'm a 14 year old American kid. I can tell you for a certain fact that if people at my High School listened to this,they would hate it. Such a shame. This is the definition of beautiful music. It makes me genuinely concerned about my generation. I getting sick to my stomach because of all the rap shit-fest music kids at my school listen to. Anyway...good music here.

  • when I'm listening this , I'm remembering for my schooldays. It's GREAT SONG , so positive :)

  • good song

    it was on real cubs classices

  • I can't believe this song only ever reached number 2 in the UK. What on earth was at number 1 to keep this off top spot!?

  • 101 people don't like art,.. *SIGH* smh!! :(

  • What a song!

  • Ahh schooldays...

  • old school tunes are better !!!

  • mi piaceva questo video

  • ...and the children drank lemonade.

  • Nice, samples the 1985 song 'Life in a northern town' by DREAM ACADAMY. check that out too. xx

  • Thanks for uploading and sharing :)

  • This is such an amazing video!!! :) i miss the 90s so much. *sigh*

  • This was playing at my local bowling alley last night when I went to play with my family. :) I won! :P

  • I'm watching this in 2011, and still loving it! Way better than today's music :) And an incredibly cool video!

  • 1997 ibiza style , happy days

  • 101 people thought that the red button said "dis i like"

  • @HugsforRugs hahaha no, 101 people are too stupid to know the difference between "like" and "dislike" :P

  • that paint better have been eco friendly!

  • i don't see why it's so difficult to find this song, i've just googled "hey oh mamama".

  • OMG!!! THIS IS THE SONG I SUNG AT THE ADELAIDE FESTIVAL THEATRE WITH THE FESTIVAL OF MUSIC CHOIR!!! IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!

  • The Dream Academy first album had about 5 great songs on it. Their "life in a Northern Town 12" extended" is great. This is just a small sample for the song, but fun.

  • Oh My God!! I have searching for this song for the LONGEST time and at the end of a crappy day- i FINALLY find the title of the song on vh1 and THIS video on youtube! You are a STAR!!! Seriously brought me to tears! thank you for the upload! :) <3

  • im proud that i was born in the early 90's

  • @kwiato12 Why?

  • @Omgpiepie because its not the same as it was back then, most of the music is shitty, people are boring and pesimistic, even the weather is different, the only thing that counts now is money

  • @kwiato12 I'm proud to be born in the 80's. So I could actually enjoy the music in the 90's.

    Like a 1-9 year old would enjoy music as much as we, who were born in the 80's would do.

    Thumbs up if you agree.

  • @kwiato12 Why are you proud to be born in a decade when nobody had an original idea of their own?

    Dario G *sampled* the crap out of The Dream Academy's "Life in a Northern Town".  And I use the term *sampled* lightly.

  • @dodgyhingst Because this song is just beautiful, the songs back then were great. No matter sampled or not.

  • This song always reminds of the sydney olympics.

  • Is it weird that i cried watching this?

  • @Fawnish1 not at all hun, not at all! brings back so many memories! x

  • @Fawnish1 yes

  • Fantastic...

  • what a beautiful decade the 90's were.

  • Dammnnn!! I've been trying to search this song for literally 10 years!! I completely forgot what it was called and by whom it was recorded. And then suddenly last night, I woke up in the middle of my sleep and 'Dario G' came to me out of nowhere! Strange how the mind works! Love it anyways, brings back great memories!

  • I tried to find this song several times over the past years every since i heard it as a child when it came out. Finally found it :)

  • born in 1991, the 90's were my upbringing, the 2000's kids missed out

  • "My mom.. is SO COOL". This song always make me quote that!

  • Couldn't agree more, for me those were definately better times and I do miss them. But I guess the younger ones out there will say many years from now that for them the current period was a better time.. As for the track, I first heard it on an Emirates flight heading for Thailand from London, it made a long flight very much more tolerable, lost count how many times I listened to it lol. It was AWESOME then and still awesome today, a classic of it's day. Well played Dario G.

  • back then when i was a kid without internet access and heard this on the radio I was like WTF is the song title?! Now i just google it.

  • Essence of Africa. Essence of the beautiful music that the 1990's brought us. Beginning of a golden age sadly cut off by Simon Cowell.

  • Finally found the name of this track from Greg James on Radio 1

  • @usemyname08

    So did I...Has been playing ever since :) this song is brilliant

  • PARENT TRAP <3

  • Closing song @ GrooveJet Miami RIP

    the best club ever.

  • Closing song @ GrooveJet Miami RIP

    

  • Trippiest music video of all time. hands down

  • 93 Dislike???? obviousy from the younger gen who wouldn't even recocnise the sinificance of the video footage which accompanies this track.

  • I didn't know its name!! I've been listen to it for many years!

  • This is My Favourite Song out of them all i have got on my MP3

  • Late 90ies - say what you want, but that was the social, cultural and musical pinnacle of the human society. Everything after is just a disgrace, technological superiority at the cost of morality and some reasonable limits in what is widely known as entertainment. Today we get Lady Gaga that is spilling musical feces from the screen, accompanied by sexual overtones and blatant erotic imagery that has little to do with music... so sad, I just want to rewind the clocks some 10 years back or so...

  • @TurboPlasma cool story Hansel

  • @TurboPlasma Your boring, Madonna did all of Gagas crap in the 80's, nothings changed.

  • finally i foud it!

  • Finished a massive journey, got home, smoked a cone, got latest top gear, and found this song. Words cannot begin to describe the pure happiness

  • @morrowind77 hell yea man i come here all the time when high xD

  • gosh...4 hours of searching and finally find it!!haha

  • i miss those times in the 90s with music like that.. 1998.. i was 19.. world was my oyster.. didnt worry about cellphones or twitter or facebook... cd's cost like 10 bucks (and you bought one even if you just wanted one song off of it), tv was pretty cool.. Friends was what you tuned into on thursday nights, the world had not discovered Eminem (not knocking the man dont worry), we were less afraid and people seemed to respect each other just a little more.

  • @daiatlus79 totally agree, so sad how life is now revolving by what people are saying and doing on facebook, i miss these days so much

  • @daiatlus79

    it's television news fault. There's no reason why we should be more afraid considering that according to police records there are less crimes in big cities now than in 1995 but we have become brainwashed by media demogagy and their need to exaggerate news and data in order to have audience and people sucked on that even though there's not a single evidence that the world is more of a dangerous place now than 15 years ago.

  • @daiatlus79 couldn't agree more, I was 18 when this came out and loving it during the 90s! things were different back then, but can't help thinking they were better...

  • @daiatlus79 so true!!! <3

  • @daiatlus79 Especially the respect part is missing big time these days.

  • @Rond71 totally agree with you there!

  • @daiatlus79

    Spot on mate. The world has changed too much. Theres too many wanabee gangsters in the music industry and its reflected on our streets. This type of music is the best there will ever be. The 90's was a perfect era. Im so sad to leave it behind.

    I was about 8 when this came out. Im 21 now and still loving it!

  • @boltybaggie same here! big up:))

  • @boltybaggie all us 90s born people all think the same

  • i was dancing it in Pacha...in any case, this is not even original...check out The Dream Academy "Life in a Northern Town"... Dario G and this video are still great though!

  • @boltybaggie ha the 90's being perfect. you should be a meme

  • @boltybaggie You were born in the 90's, meaning your sentient nostalgia didn't even start until they were more than half over. You have nothing to do with the 90's.

  • @mutualxslump Born in the 90s, 90s song, 90s feeling. Maybe we were young, but not deaf. And we still remember these songs, and yes i love this song

  • @daiatlus79 Such is the respone of every old person to the present day. even if it was b4 u knew what grand pa nd ma meant each time a rant about : (BACK IN MY DAY) Started.
