The Happy Groover - When I snap my fingers (rare video)

Very rare music video of the original version of "When I snap my fingers" by The Happy Groover (DJ Jonathan). The song topped the Dutch and Belgian charts in 1998 and was also succesfull in Israel and South America. Some radiostations prefered the Bervoets & De Goeij remix (the guys who later formed Rank 1).
Interesting side notes: the track is based on a tv commercial for Dommelsch Beer, which featured the same hypnotist as is seen on the videoscreens in the video.
The party scenes were shot on a rooftop next to the central station of Rotterdam. DJ Jonathan (who later on renamed himself into DJ Joe Nathan) can be spotted with the russian ice hat and the yellow jacket. Not his choice of clothing ;) Perhaps it helps to know it was freezing at the time the video was shot...
DJ Jonathan / Joe Nathan produced other tracks as well. The follow up single was by The Scary Groover - " Childern of the dark night". The CD single featured a parody of "When I snap my fingers" called "Schapie schapie schapie" by Hassan Jassan, which made it an even bigger hit than the original in The Netherlands. In 1999 The Jungle Groover was produced (with a hilarious animated Tarzan video) as well as another Happy Groover single called " Return to the classics".

DJ Joe Nathan is still performing and producing. More info can be found on the website of his production company: unigroove(dot)com
