This song was played in the 90’s dance clubs ad nauseam. Basically everyone just bounced around like crazy. It’s fun to hear it again.

[@hughjanus9557]

It was also at every wedding I have ever been too LOL. It's amazing how huge this song was.

[@phoenix1977]

pretty much, still remember me and about 6 others litteraly clearing the dancefloor just swinging around each other like hurricans....... no joke.

[@jameswilliams2106]

A couple of years ago, one night, I was about to propose to my girlfriend... ...when my roommate Joseph barged into the room out of nowhere, tripped and fell over, breaking a glass table with his face. Totally ruined the mood. Now, I didn't know Joseph THAT well, don't even remember where he was from, but let' just say I put my plans on hold to help him through his injuries. Joseph had gotten big glass shard in his eye, making him completely blind in that eye. He was walking around with one of those cotton pads on his eye for a couple of months. Then suddenly, he disappeared, along with my girlfriend Apparently they'd bonded during the time after his injuries, and eloped together , left me behind without as much as a note. I tried to track them down, but never could. In conclusion, if it hadn't been for cotton eye Joe, I'd have been married a long time ago. Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, cotton eye Joe?

This was a swedish band. Fun energetic song that was a huge hit in Europe in the 90s.

[@rrp2137]

They are. Every Silvester at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.

[@MewnFrostFang]

it was swedish?!?

[@vladyvhv9579]

This is an example of a novelty version of an old hoedown song turning into a pop culture hit, and is still a hit in many rural areas when someone playes it on the radio, a jukebox, or streaming at a resturaunt, etc.

[@lionfromthenorth4580]

Can you believe these guys are Swedish?! 😂 I remember when this song was released and played on every club in Sweden in the early 90's.. (don't know how this went in the rest of Europe).

[@mrooney714]

Massive, still a great tune

[@Rockaria23]

This was a surprise Number 1 here in the UK. They did do some great ballads too. 'Rolling Home' being my fave :)

[@gabix7488]

Nowhere in Idaho was brilliant also

[@theswan4117]

This is the lyrics If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

Greate reaction i love this Song Energy spectacular

[@boqndimitrov8693]

how much I jumped on this song at the time! the downstairs neighbors were fed up with knocking and screaming.

[@bela9225]

This was huge at kids' birthday parties when I was growing up. They play it at the karaoke bar I go to. Everybody loves it.

[@kayrulestheworld]

the best part of this is 4 lines of lyrics 😂 and it's still more amazing then half of the actual songs on the internet

[@darlenebuck431]

face it this song is timeless and you can't but dance to it.

[@ashleyishotterthanyou_]

This is one of those songs you can’t get tired of

This is ( was ) a totally banger :-) And is still today 🙂

"If it hadn't been for cotton eye joe, id have been married a long time ago."

[@hildajensen6263]

Back when we actually went to the club to dance. This one is just about jumping around and having fun. Didn't matter if you were a bit too drunk to do the boy band dances.

[@todddecann2483]

Cotton eye Joe was a line dance he's saying "if it hadn't been for cotton eyed Joe id been married long time ago" always a fun song to hear

[@JessiexWx]

love this song , perfect good mood vibes when having a bad day and a party starter haha

[@carinnordmark6910]

"Cotton Eye Joe" is a song by Swedish country pop group Rednex, released in August 1994 as the first single from their debut studio album, Sex & Violins (1995). Based on the traditional American folk song "Cotton-Eyed Joe", it combines the group's style with traditional American instruments such as banjos and fiddles.

[@hermiendrridder875]

You must see them perform live, love them❤

If it hadn't been for Cotton Eyed Joe... I'd been married long time ago!

[@nikkiplatt316]

You should listen to one of the originals for this song just for context. Merle Watson or Bill Monroe.. so many to choose from. Been hearing this song since I was born.. it was a party starter in the 30s 🤣

[@perthyren601]

This was so popular when Line Dancing was all the rage.

[@noldo3837]

As an European, I just enjoy so much when some American for the first time hears not the R'n'B Whithey stile bedroom moaning and groaning, but instead gets slammed by good old 90's Euro-dancefloor Thor-hammer right in the face :D

[@demarcuswitten9723]

He is saying is " if it haven't been for cotten eyed Joe I would have been married a long time ago" it takes roots from the barn dances like square dance and so on

When you find out the the 1880 version of the song was about a former slave (Cotton eye Joe) who ran off with his former master's girlfriend.

the lyrics....If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? He came to town like a midwinter storm He rode through the fields, so handsome and strong His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun But all he had come for was having some fun If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? He brought disaster wherever he went The hearts of the girls was to Hell, broken, sent They all ran away so nobody would know And left only men 'cause of Cotton-Eye Joe If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe I'd been married long time ago Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
