Cartoons

The Cartoons (also know internationally 'Cartoons DK') were a self-described "technobilly" pop band from Denmark. Best known for their hit 'Witch Doctor', they were equally famed for their outlandish plastic costumes and wigs of 1950s American rock and roll stars. The Cartoons released three albums ('Toonage!', 'More Toonage!' and 'Toontastic!' and a greatest hits package ('Greatest Toons!') as well as contributing the track 'Wobble-Di-Bubble-Di-Doo' for the animated film 'Help! I'm a fish' (also known in America as 'A Fish Tale').

Best known for their hit 'Witch Doctor', they were equally famed for their outlandish plastic costumes and wigs of 1950s American rock and roll stars.

The Cartoons released three albums ('Toonage!', 'More Toonage!' and 'Toontastic!' and a greatest hits package ('Greatest Toons!') as well as contributing the track 'Wobble-Di-Bubble-Di-Doo' for the animated film 'Help! I'm a fish' (also known in America as 'A Fish Tale').

The best of package included tracks from their previous albums as well as three new songs - 'Ekkosangen', 'Nana Na' and a megamix entitled 'The Cartoons Medley'.

Most of their hits were Europop covers of old rockabilly hits.

The sextet, who use the stage names Toonie, Sponge, Shooter, Buzz, Puddy and Boop were first signed to Flex Records, moving later to EMI Denmark.

Their most notable single to date is 1999's Witch Doctor, reaching number two in the UK with its combination of the original's "ooh-ee-ooh-aah-aah" chorus (although lacking that record's double-speed playback of the chorus), driving dance beat and occasional guitar breaks, hence the term "technobilly."

They had further success in the UK with the Top 10 hit Doodah! (a version of the American folk song Camptown Races from the 1850s), the top 20 hit Aisy Waisy, and their debut album 'Toonage' scored a top 20 placing.

Cartoons is also a diy greek punk rock band formed in late 2007-early 2008.
They released a demo in late 2008 and are very active playing shows all over Greece.
