You most likely have heard this before. This song was made real popular by a Swedish group called Rednex around 1994.

[@soscobra]

Swedish? LMAO

[@NicholasCorvin]

@@soscobra *Yep, Rednex are from Sweden. The refrain is based on a US-folk song from the 19th century. It was a huge commercial success, the track reached #1 in Austria, Belgium, Canada [Dance/Urban], Denmark, Europe [Eurochart Hot 100], Finland, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. In Ireland it reached #2 and in the U.S. #25 on the Billboard Hot 100.* 🎵💿🔊

[@rosariocannistraro3561]

I was sous chef in a higher end steakhouse and we had a country bar /restaurant attached to the other side and our kitchen served both ,They had line dancing and all that and the amount of times I heard this song every time the servers came through the kitchen doors from that side is nightmare fuel lol .

[@Perisa79]

@@soscobra Sweden is not a little nobody when it comes to music... Do some research, and you will have TONS and TONS of crushed dreams when you realize that that Katy Perry, The Chainsmokers, P!nk, Taylor Swift, Mike Perry, Adele, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Skip Marley, Justin Timberlake, Bon Jovi, Kelly Clarkson, Westlife, Jessie J, N*Sync, Taio Cruz, Enrique Iglesias, Usher, Lady Gaga... etc etc etc etc the list goes on.. Should I go on, or do you start to understand now...?? Do a google search of Max Martin and Denniz Pop and what songs they produced, and you will be shocked...

[@gloriathomas3245]

This song perfectly exemplifies what the 90s music scene was like

[@Smoshy16]

The original maybe but this bullshit cover; not at all.

[@finnmccool2851]

So happy to see you got back to Tommy! This one was just him having some fun, but even that turns out epic! More, PLEASE! ❤

[@Roh_Echt]

The most fun song to dance to at a Country Bar. The pace of this version would be a HOOT to dance to.

[@binboh]

HUGE fan here of Tommy. I hope you check out more of his music. He always puts his own take on any song he does. Also his band Majestica has some great music too.

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

Great reaction to Tommy you two!!! He is truly amazing!!! Please consider reacting to his version of "Phantom of the Opera"

[@robertarthur9540]

You're right this is the sped up version not the original

[@cindyv1401]

Besides a vocal magician....Tommy is truly a one man band ❣️❣️❣️🔥🔥🔥

[@scottvanhille5688]

LOL this song, so fun to dance to at dances. Fast paced and energetic, haha shoot. Please listen to the original version as well. It's a country dance song lol.

[@Jim_86]

FYI. Rednex the band who made the original version of Cotton Eye Joe is a Swedish band. Yes, Cotton Eye Joe was originally a country song. Tommy Johansson is from Sweden too.

[@MadPata]

Tommys "thing" is to take songs he like and have fun with. Remix and do then in hes own way with metall/rock.Asia & BJ u have react to him earlier. Tommy are a multi talent and do all the mixing and playing all instrument. Perhaps not the violin :) He does among many many other songs Elton john ( cirkle of life) Celine Dion, Gary moore ( murder in the sky) Abba ( plenty of Abba songs) He recently played with Sabaton and after 7 years he decide to leave the band and focus on hes own band named Majestica. And every friday 12 am ( europe time) he relese a new song, Check out hes portfolio with all diffrent songs. And ty Asia & BJ for a great time listen to ya reacting

[@Pilutta100]

I reeeeeally hoped you would watch the original, but you didn't. Missed you guys ,but this one you had nooooo clue 😂. Hugs from Sweden.

[@rft416]

Tommy is in the band Sabaton

[@michaelpowell964]

you need to do a reaction to the song "DREAMS I'LL NEVER SEE" sung by MOLLY HATCHETT ! YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!

[@benjaminformaniii612]

I see that you have listened to Seal's Kiss From A Rose. Have you heard the Pentatonix's cover yet? If not you are missing out!

[@Progressive_Canadian]

The origins of the song "Cotton Eye Joe" are rooted in American folk music, specifically from the American South. The song dates back to the 1800s and was popularized during the era of American slavery and Blackface Minstrelsy in the late 1800s. The original lyrics of "Cotton Eye Joe" were racist and utilized harmful stereotypes about Black people. The song tells the story of a Black man who comes to town and steals people's wives, and no one knows where Cotton Eye Joe is except for the singer's dad, who apparently murdered Cotton Eye Joe for sleeping with the singer's mom. Over time, the song evolved and became a staple of American culture, particularly in square dance and line dance traditions. In 1994, the Swedish band Rednex released a popular dance version of the song, which further popularized it worldwide.

[@dorvau1991]

Would you react to No One's gonna love you by SOS Band?

[@Kharzim69]

You should listen to the original songs before the reacts if you not familiar with the covers...then you have something to compare too. Tommy have over 200 vids so you probably can find some favorite songs. Great reaction, keep'em comming.

[@bluflaam777LSA]

The song was originally a folk song from the 1800s. Tho' no one really knows where it came from, who wrote it or when they wrote it. It was around before the US civil war. And nobody knows what it means. It could mean STDs, it could be a reference to light and dark skin, it could be about drugs (as most were legal back in the 1800s) ...no one knows.

[@johankaewberg8162]

I guess you are not familiar with Rednex. They were a huge hit in Europe.

[@dorvau1991]

Would you react to In your mix by Barry White?

The Chieftains did the original. Released in 1981 (country). Then Rednex did a Eurodance version in 1994. Huge hit all over the world. Over 230 million views on YT. The last song you did with Tommy was She's Gone.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Fun song!

[@donnabannister793]

Yep I can get into this one...yeehawww💃🎶🔥🕺👏👏👏

[@mikecoughlin4128]

This is a fun version but I much prefer the original. This is a little frantic and spoofy.

[@almerfudge]

you should do a reaction of Tommy doing Who Wants To Live Forever by Queen

Love that one! ❤

[@debbieharkness7661]

Wow, Hi, you two.

[@scottdarden3091]

Love dancing to this 😊

[@galaxiafletes8287]

I was in high school when the Rednex version came out, and that will always be my fave. This guy does a decent job but it just isn't the same as back in the day.

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

I remember the 90s version. Think it came out my first year of high school. I remember the Spanish loving it. Me, my family, and my extended family went to spain when the song released. When i hear it, all i can picture is walking around the market and all the Spanish folk working on the stalls singing and dancing to it while it was blasting out of a stereo.😂

[@Shoshonegrl]

Tommy does alot just plain fun songs. He has a great sense of humor 😂😂😂😂

[@gerardroll6468]

Asia, BJ… I can remember many a drunken night out with friends back in the 90’s breaking out into line dancing frenzies on the dance floor in bars & nightclubs when the DJ would start this song up. I didn’t even need to be asked twice to either join in or even START the dance routine ☝️😁. The original version was better than this but still SO much fun to dance to 🫵😜👍

[@brandonjones1349]

Lolol...yesssss

[@henrikalexandersson4663]

You guys really should take a listen to Tommy and Erik Grönwall's duet cover of Sabatons Carolus Rex. Another great cover from two amazing swedes! Or Erik Grönwall doing a cover of I will always love you.

[@MARKB3946]

He did a great remake of this song. Love it.

[@BossDM-2]

I just heard Asia singing a few seconds of the sax part of the greatest yacht rock song, Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street, and her voice is oh so beautiful. Powerful, yet soothing at the same time. Perfect. Good for you, BJ.

[@autaum6536]

My Granddaughter can't help dancing every time she hears this, starting at age 2....she is now 8 and nothing has changed.

If you were impressed by his voice in this one you ought to check out his renditions of "You raise me up" and "Phantom of the Opera". When it comes to "You raise me up" he does it in a one octave challenge, i.e. he does it one octave higher than normal.

[@etgamer0771]

I have seen this video before and it amazes me every time !!!! The pace alone would set your heart to racing, but then Tommy sings and plays multiple instruments, and adds comedy to the whole chaotic insanity !! Shout out to Asia for mentioning her experience with Square Dancing which we had to learn in Phys. ED in elementary school. Came to southeastern U.S. to college and we had a square dance there too but with alcohol.!!! If was one of the most memorable fun times I have ever had.! So guys, grab your partner and doe-see-doe !!!! 🤣
