Rednex is a Swedish eurodance and country-pop group best known for their worldwide 1994 novelty hit “Cotton Eye Joe.” They became famous for mixing American hillbilly themes with techno beats, creating a unique, humorous, and wildly energetic sound and image.

  • Combines banjo, fiddle, and country vocals with Eurodance beats

  • Lyrics and themes often parody American redneck stereotypes

  • Known for catchy, upbeat, and often ridiculous tunes


🧑🌾 Band Overview:

  • Formed: 1994, in Sweden

  • Original creators: Swedish producers Janne Ericsson, Örjan Öberg, and Patrick Edenberg

  • Fronted by rotating performers, especially for live shows—Rednex operates more like a brand/project than a traditional band

  • Original vocalist on “Cotton Eye Joe”: Annika Ljungberg

  • Topped the charts in multiple countries including:
