Now you're curious...just what is this "Parada de Tettas" song like?

...Well, it's just what you'd expect it be. Watch the video here.
Obviously, this was before there was a quartet known as the Vengaboys. At this point of time, it was just a studio project. That's why you only see one female vocalist.

You may laugh, but these guys had some seriously deep funky house remixes! Up & Down got my vote, with We Like To Party next. But my votes are for the remixes - which are really a far cry from the single releases.

My vote goes for the happy "Boom! Boom! Boom!". Fun, fun song!

Ran upon this old thread.  Did you know the group's name is pronounced "Bengaboys"?

I still like "Shalala Lala" the best

I put 'We like to party' first and 'Shalalalala' second.

I'm quite surprised Vengaboys had any success over the pond. They were a massive hit over here in the UK, pretty much a matter of right time, right place as they were nothing special in anyway. Their song 'We're going to Ibiza' is a modified version of Typical Tropical's one hit wonder 'We're going to Barbados' capitalising on the Ibiza clubbing craze at the time.

I always thought it was funny they were called Vengaboys and their lead singer is a woman.

As long as we're on the subject, some 1987 italo disco, namely the Sex Shop Boys, Big Tits.

Not only is it the only safe-for-work video I can find, the audio quality's pretty good too.  At six minutes, this is the St. Pauli Mix.  (I think the only difference between something tagged "Brasil Import Mix" and the St. Pauli Mix is that the Brasil Import mix ends with a fade-out, and the St. Pauli Mix ends with a "boing boing" sound effect.)

Reunited? :o :o

I must get that song, though the title of it kind of makes me chuckle ;D

That #7 position listed for UJFJ in Canada, should be for Megamix, but it's all good.  I know how confusing and challenging it is to make and edit those tables
