"Ding Dong Song" is a song by Swedish pop singer Günther, featuring the Sunshine Girls, based on the 1984 Dutch song "Tralala" by Phill & Company which was written by Ad van Olm and Eddy Ouwens. "Ding Dong Song" was released in 2004 on Günther's debut studio album, Pleasureman. [2] [3] The song was number one for three weeks on the Swedish music charts. [4]
Günther's version is sung in English with a heavy German accent. The song is a parody of Eurodance genres, especially those from the 1980s and 1990s in Germany. [4]
The song gained widespread popularity on YouTube. Examples of the most popular fan-made videos include US soldiers in Iraq dancing to the song, YouTube users in front of their computers lip-syncing, and various edited parodies. [5]
