Aqua - Doctor Jones (TOTP) 1998

Aqua, performing their second no. 1 single, Doctor Jones, on Top of the Pops, spring '98. For tales about Top of the Pops and the late 90s/early 00s pop era, check out my book 'Freak Like Me: Confessions of a 90s Pop Groupie' (by Malcolm McLean), out October 2019. www.freaklike.me

🤗🤗🤗Wow!! It's been over 24 years already? I'm still feeling young again after hearing this song.

[@M1CKEYHD]

I want this guy’s voice

[@M1CKEYHD]

@Daniel Le yeah lol 😂

[@pennyrapp7372]

Lenes energy is top of the heap. Those kicks and jumps are phenomenal and so lovable.

[@ajs41]

This might be a slightly controversial thing to say, but about 10 years before this the only people moving around like her in this video were black Americans. Interesting how quickly white Europeans adopted that style of dancing.

[@luke8448]

This just screams 90's I miss those days so much

[@ajs41]

I thought this was just so silly and stupid at the time, but now I really love the energy and fun of this song.

[@marjol3in]

Absolutely true

[@ajs41]

It's amazing how much music changed between about 1980 and 1998.

[@AmericanMuscle69]

From the 1990s to the 2000s, it's changed really badly. After 2000 music and this whole world went to hell. Especially after 2008 when the Antichrist hijacked America!

[@christinamilian91]

Yes it did change so much

[@Konsker]

love aqua

[@brianhanson]

Thanks for this blast from the past. Oh, I remember recording on video tape too.

[@mdkhaledul2698]

Very very good very very nice songs

[@SuctionCupManLookAtMeGo]

That was taken on Febuary 13th, 1998.

Lene Nystrom was ahead of the times and had a hair style that many are rocking now (blue and red highlights) which was a really unique style (that is not mohawk or punky). Aqua pulls off the energy and brings back the childhood no care attitude with a mature twist.

[@joshuaarmstrong377]

The blue part is a headband and she was just copying european techno bands and american grunge, not unique at all

[@RudyAcoymo-hz7di]

Yes yes desco

[@DexiduousRose]

Just the regular recording ie: lip syncing :/

[@ajs41]

Top of the Pops was usually miming.

[@jonronmic]

Of course it's playback in TOTP, there's no time to line up gear for every band, amazingly people have to comment on it every time.

[@Ryan-007C]

WHO'S HERE IN 2024

[@CraftyWon]

oinm the 90s all of the clubs were playing thius kidn of music 'euro' or dance music or hi energy etc. none of this hip hop poison of today. Whjen yo uare surrounded by songs that make you feel good athe lyrics are mainly about love etc. you cant go wrong. society today sucks now since poison was allowed to take over

[@johnp82]

"Performing"

[@tuffmike7487]

Can’t wait for the acoustic live to come out

[@mgore90]

I think that that's how Top of the Pops worked; everyone lip-synced.

[@marjol3in]

​@@mgore90true

[@Beanie1984]

How much was the drummer paid? No drums in this mate. Bet he got paid the same wage as the person playing the "magic" keyboard with no cables. Maybe it was Wifi magic?

[@lorenaojeda9569]

lejos la muy femenina muñeca barby, que feos movimientos en escenario

[@ericmag.441]

El genero Eurodance de los 90s fue muy energtico no existia pasos de bailes, es lo que salia al momento.. es de mucha energia no como los generos actuales

[@CraftyWon]

lip syncing lol. You cant jump around like that no matter how your voice is and sound exactly like the studio album with no fluctuation at all ever lol

[@bencross3759]

Top of the pops are well known for lip syncing not the artist fault!
