"Ding Dong Song" is a song by Swedish pop singer Günther, featuring The Sunshine Girls. The song, originally released in 1984 as "Tralala" by the Dutch band Phil & Company, was released in 2004 on Günther's debut album, Pleasureman.[1][2] The song was number one for three weeks on the Swedish music charts.[3]
Background and recording
Günther's version is sung in English with a heavy German accent. The song is a parody of Eurodance genres, especially those from the German 1980s and 1990s.[3]
The song gained widespread popularity on YouTube. Examples of the most popular fan-made videos include American servicemen in Iraq dancing to the song, YouTube-users in front of their computers lip-synching, and various edited parodies.[4]
