Rednex is the brainchild of Swedish producers Janne Ericsson, Örjan Öberg, Pat Reiniz and Brian Reddyb, who decided to try mixing Country Music with Techno . They decided to rework the traditional Folk Song , " Cotton-Eyed Joe ", into a Dance Song . They recorded the song with Studio Musician s, put together a fake group of Redneck role players to represent a group, and released it in 1994 , to huge worldwide success, especially in Europe . An album titled ''Sex & Violins'' followed the hit song. Rednex went on to have other hits in Europe (its follow-up "Pop in an Oak" was done to the same tune), but "Cotton-Eyed Joe" remains their only U.S. hit as of 2005. The group launched something of a minor comeback when they entered the song "Mama Take Me Home" in Semifinal 4 of the Swedish Melodifestivalen on 11 March 2006 in Gothenburg . They qualified for the final via the Second Chance Round. SEE ALSO List Of Songs With Particularly Long Titles EXTERNAL LINK |
