I remember this played on MTV when I was like twelve. Me and my friends were just getting into dance music and we loved it! I have onyl the faintest recollection of the video though, was it some sort of early computer animation with bright colours?

Thanks, Adam!

You know despite my claiming to be all knowing about this upthread, I had remembered it as someone actually saying "Poing" over and over. That'll teach me.

Whoa.

Momus, Lawrence Felt and Steve Wright, that's one unholy trinity.

Sum up your personality in three pieces of music

new radicals - "you get what you give"
slick rick - "treat her like a prostitute"
rotterdam termination source - "poing"
-- strongo hulkington (dubplatestyl...), June 3rd, 2004.

― cancer prone fat guy (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 19:35 (twenty years ago)

new radicals? i'm shocked.

― 2 columbus circle in 1964 (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 21:06 (twenty years ago)

That's a great song!

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 21:11 (twenty years ago)

it is, but i'm surprised jess agrees!

― 2 columbus circle in 1964 (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 21:13 (twenty years ago)

it's less that i like it than that i identify with it on a molecular level.

― cancer prone fat guy (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 21:14 (twenty years ago)

poing.

― cancer prone fat guy (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 21:14 (twenty years ago)

honestly i like new radicals dude's santana/branch song a little more.

― 2 columbus circle in 1964 (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 21:16 (twenty years ago)

new radicals are awesome!

― howell huser (chaki), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 21:43 (twenty years ago)

it's less that i like it than that i identify with it on a molecular level.

i'm interpreting this as "now that's what i call '90s alternasoundtrack megahitz" -- correct?

'Rotterdam Termination Source' are back,joining forces with 'Human Resource' to respark a new wave of Hardcore Old Skool. After a successful comeback appearence on Oct 4th in Zaandam, Holland, Maurice Steenbergen (RTS), Guido Pernet (HR) these forces have united to revive the still existant old skool scene. Along with 'T99' Vocalist Zeno Zevenbergen this looks like a unstoppable team ready to 'Dominate the World' once more

That's like the ultimate dream team!

"Poinginatorthesia" coming soon...

YEAH I READ POING POING TOO

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 12 January 2006 03:53 (twenty years ago)

me and Lawrence Denim trying to outdo each other in praise of this record's brilliance.
-- Momus (nic...), January 11th, 2006.

Where?

It was in my friend Douglas Benford's car, heading south down Great Portland Street, I believe. Lawrence was keen to incorporate some novelty sounds in the second Denim album.

― Momus (Momus), Thursday, 12 January 2006 04:10 (twenty years ago)

Fans of this should seriously check out Tok Tok's Tora Bora -- similar levels of tweaked-out cartoon poinginess, and really only slightly less single-minded about it.

I mean, look at the cover:

Oh sod it, why not...

The most interesting pieces of pop music trivia that you know (that are 100% false):

127. In a disused warehouse on the outskirts of Hilversum, 75 people are still dancing to "Poing" by the Rotterdam Termination Squad.

They did a follow up single (they took their time) which I remember had a track that was a strop against 2 Unlimited's "No Limit" which had elements of "Poing" in it.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 12 January 2006 12:29 (twenty years ago)

"Merry X-Mess" that was it.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 12 January 2006 12:34 (twenty years ago)

There's quite a few versions of "Poing".

The one under the YSI-link seems... funkier than the one I played incessantly summer of 1992. I think the 'Stuiterhouse' version is the one to get.

― naranjito (Koens), Thursday, 12 January 2006 12:44 (twenty years ago)

So I did some research and concluded: "Poing" counts exactly 265 poings. Defend/Refute.

― Quinten, Thursday, 12 January 2006 13:05 (twenty years ago)

(Sorry, that link should have been this. Or check the discogs page.

― naranjito (Koens), Thursday, 12 January 2006 14:56 (twenty years ago)

Mike T-Diva - that was already quoted upthread!

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 12 January 2006 16:24 (twenty years ago)

The producer of the track is still maing music and stuff. Check out his website: http://www.poing.com/maurice.php?cat=5

two years pass...

In Nov 1992 it got to #27 on the UK charts. It were all mental back then.

― moley, Monday, 21 January 2008 05:18 (eighteen years ago)

The best part is the breakdown where it goes POOOING POOOING POOOING POOOING POOOING POOOING POOOING POOOING at half-tempo, then revs back up.

yes, easily the best bit.

― haitch, Monday, 21 January 2008 05:25 (eighteen years ago)

moley you should cover this song

― electricsound, Monday, 21 January 2008 05:27 (eighteen years ago)

You haven't heard 'Bouncing Chamber'?

Let's not forget 'Here's Johnny' by Hocus Pocus, which got to number 1 in Australia round the same time. It was a great era for novelty rave productions.

― moley, Monday, 21 January 2008 05:41 (eighteen years ago)

Novelty rave, come back! We miss you.

I think Adam RL sent me this?

Not only that, but MTV Europe played it all the time during prime time. Can you imagine MTV playing anything like that today? (Supposing that they'd still play music videos, of course.)

― Tuomas, Monday, 21 January 2008 08:03 (eighteen years ago)

this song is godlike

They totally would, considering they're happily playlisting the shit out of Boten Anna and Gunther.

is 'return of da source' actual new material?

― foul bachelor frogbs (electricsound), Friday, 8 April 2011 03:56 (fifteen years ago)

answered my own question, seems it's from 98. oh well.

― foul bachelor frogbs (electricsound), Friday, 8 April 2011 03:58 (fifteen years ago)

Their band shot had like five people in it, as I recall. I mean, really? There shouldn't even have been any humans in the band shot. Just a smiley face on a spring.

― moley, Friday, 8 April 2011 04:07 (fifteen years ago)

you posted the band pic five years ago!
