There are 3 Retriever pages mentioning "vengaboys":
  1. Eiffel 65 -- Da Ba Dee
    Eiffel 65's vocoder-heavy Europop, which yielded the major international dance smash "Blue (Da Ba Dee)," falls somewhere in the dance music spectrum between Daft Punk and the Vengaboys. It employs funky, deep house grooves with vocoder enhanced vocals, similar to Daft Punk and Modjo, yet many of the songs incorporate nursery rhyme choruses and solid pop stylings. The album has its share of "Blue" sound-alikes, some better than others. For example, "Dub in Life," "Another Race," "Hyperlink (Deep Down)," and the unremarkable second single "Move Your Body" all sound like "Blue" and offer very little else. "Silicon World," on the other hand... recalls their hit, but takes the formula into a much cooler and sophisticated direction. This album really succeeds, however, when the formula is stretched and the act tackles different musical styles.
  2. Eiffel 65
    Eiffel 65 was an Italian electronic band, headed by Jeffrey Jey on vocals and bass. Maurizio Lobina played guitar and keyboard, and until March 2005, Gabry Ponte was their DJ. The band name came from a random word generator that produced the word "Eiffel". The "65" was added as a slight mistake: part of a phone number scribbled on a demo by accident.
  3. Eurodance
    Eurodance is very much commercial music. It can be even seen as a some kind of culmination of commerciality in music business. Some producers, like Swedish Max Martin or Italian Larry Pignagnoli, were behind dozens of bands. If band members became too demanding, they could be fired and replaced by others. Only few bands survived more than one or two records. The most successful groups are arguably Dutch 2 Unlimited , Italian Eiffel 65 , and German Scooter (although Scooter contain strong rave elements in their music and are not at the heart of eurodance).
