(I don't have access to complete Billboard info for the 90s, so I don't know chart info for many of these for the USA)

The only one I remember from your list is "Feels So Good (Show Me Your Love)" by Lina Santiago. (That was the official title in the US.) I know it hit the US charts, but I'm drawing a blank on the position number.

Only those that were hits over here.
"Lemon Tree" just made in to Top 10, "Everything's Gonna Be Alright" reached #11 and "Doin' the Do" hit #7.
Of course, "Short Dick Man" hit our charts too... :-[...also reaching #7. BTW: I think US had to put up with the "clean" version ("Short Short Man"). ???
Both Strike and 666 had Top 40 hits, but not the two mentioned here. Strike hit #13 with "U Sure Do" and 666's "Alarma" peaked at #34.

No sir, just the one I mentioned.
While watching the video, I realized that Byron Stingily of course also had a Dutch Top 40 hit. "That's the Way Love Is" (by Ten City) peaked at #26 in 1989.

Here's my age showing...
I only really recall one...Betty Boo's 'Doin' The Doo'...
Her singing career faltered not long after, but she has written several songs for other acts...

(I don't have access to complete Billboard info for the 90s, so I don't know chart info for many of these for the USA)
According to AMG, "Have Fun, Go Mad" peaked at #86, "Everything's Gonna Be Alright" peaked at #46, "Short Short Man" peaked at #14 and "Doin' the Do" peaked at #90 (all on Billboard Hot 100).
I couldn't find any chart data on the other songs, which means they either didn't chart, or data aren't available on AMG (yet).

Oh I forgot about that one too! Yes, the U.S. did have a clean version called "Short, Short Man." 20 Fingers ft. Gillette also had another single, "Mr Personality", in early 1995.

Those must be pretty rare. ;) The only one I've heard of (which I like) is "Hold You Tight" by Tara Kemp. That's very 1991 and I guess I'd describe it as dance music with a little hip hop influence.

That's what I thought. Yeah, I remember hearing it on the radio in February 1996; that song was quite repetitive, as I recall.

Technohead. :) The song hit #1 in Dutch Top 40. Here's a link to the video. I think this video was only used in The Netherlands, though.
Technohead were Lee Newman and Michael Wells. Lee Newman died on August 4, 1995.

I love that Technohead song. First time I'd ever heard it was years ago on the UK set 'Now That's What I Call Music! 33'

I loved this song! It seems like forever since I last heard it. Tara Kemp had a couple of hits, then seemed to disappear completely. I used to walk to school when I was in junior high and usually listened to the radio or a cassette on my Walkman, and "Hold You Tight" was played quite frequently.

I remember most of those. What's interesting is that I have a double-12" single of "My Love Is For Real" by Paula Abdul from 1995 which includes a remix by Strike.
"I Believe" was re-released with remixes by Chris Cox (Thunderpuss/Hot Tracks) in 2003. I have that record also.
I don't remember the first two in the list nor the "Paradox" track but will now have to seek out an extended version of it; it's catchy.

I know that one...from mid-1996. That's a different song than Usher's duet with Alicia Keys, which I think is from 2004.

I remember the Dancing Baby (Ooga Chaka) (wasn't that the Ally McBeal thing and I remember Da Dip in fact I'm doing Da Dip right now ;D
Subject: Re: Anyone remember these songs ?
Written By: IWannaBeAGoonie on 10/28/07 at 3:02 am
Well, I remember Short Dick Man and how popular the Dancing Baby (Ooga Chaka) was, but I never actually watched Ally McBeal. (was it actually Hooked on a Feeling ? I know that's what it was on the David Hasslehoff video, anyway.. ;D)
But the only one I really remember liking was Hold You Tight..I think I have the cassette single, actually.. :-\\
The other songs I may remember if I went and watched the videos listed..but in the early 90's I was newly married and had a little baby ('92 and '93), so I don't think I kept up too much with the 'modern music'..actually, come to think of it, I still don't.. ::)

SONG
Mishale ---I remember this one but I remember hearing it in '92.
Short Dick Man---Definitely remember this one. Actually have it on one of my cds
Da' Dip---Wow this one takes me back to my clubbing days!
Doin' the Doo---I think I heard this song on the 90210 episode where Brenda gets ready for her first date with Dylan. Like that type of bubble gum.

They probably waited until nighttime to play it because of the language it contained. :o

There was a radio-friendly version created, titled "Short Short Man".

Yes, I remember that one...from late 1994 or thereabouts. I never heard the "dirty" version, though.

I know a song called Have Fun, Go Mad but I'm fairly certain it's not the one listed here
