Cartoons es una banda de pop de Dinamarca conocidos por sus estrombóticas pelucas y trajes que caricaturizaban a las estrellas del rock de los años 50 de Estados Unidos. Su genero musical es eurodance. Cartoons significa en castellano "dibujos animados".
La banda hasta la fecha ha vendido más de 2 millones de copias, lo que las hace una de las más exitosas bandas de pop danés. También han sido nominados a los Grammys daneses.
El sexteto, que utilizan los nombres de Toonie, Sponge, Shooter, Buzz y Puddy Boop, firmaron por primera vez en la compañía Flex Records, y pasó más tarde a EMI Dinamarca.
Su canción más famosa hasta la fecha (creada en 1999) es Witch Doctor, alcanzó el número dos en el Reino Unido con su combinación de los originales coros de "ooh-ooh-ee-aah-aah" (a pesar de que carecen de registro de la doble velocidad de reproducción del coro), de conducción beat dance y, en ocasiones, roturas de guitarra, de ahí el término "technobilly".
Tuvieron más éxito en el Reino Unido en el Top 10 con el hit Doodah! (Una versión de la canción folclórica americana Camptown Races de la década de 1850), de su álbum debut, Toonage.
********************
Cartoons, also known as Cartoons DK are a technobilly/glam pop band from Denmark, best known for their 1998 Eurodance cover of the 1958 novelty song, "Witch Doctor" by Ross Bagdasarian, as well as for their outlandish plastic costumes and wigs used in live performances as caricatures of 1950s American rock and roll stars. Many of their hits are Europop covers of old rockabilly hits.
The band has so far sold over 2 million albums, making them one of the most successful Danish pop bands ever. They have also been nominated for Danish Grammys according to their official website.
The sextet, who use the stage names Toonie, Sponge, Shooter, Buzz, Puddy, and Boop, were first signed to FLEX Records, moving later to EMI Denmark.
Their most notable single to date is "Witch Doctor", which reached number two in the UK Singles Chart; with its combination of the original's "ooh-ee-ooh-aah-aah" chorus (although lacking that record's double-speed playback of the chorus), driving dance beat and occasional guitar breaks.
They had further success in the UK with the Top 10 hit, "Doodah!" (a version of the American folk song "Camptown Races"); the Top 20 hit "Aisy Waisy", which was performed on Jim Davidson's Generation Game; and a Top 20 debut album, Toonage.
Their second album, Toontastic! did not match the success of its predecessor but several notable hits were released from it including "Diddley Dee," "Big Coconuts," and a reworked cover of Les Humphries Singers' "Mama Loo."
Cartoons rounded out their success with a greatest hits album composed of previous tracks from their two albums as well as three new tracks.
