Planet of the Bass: How a ridiculous Eurodance parody song became the most addictive song of the summer

This is the existential question posed by Ms Biljana Electronica on Planet of the Bass, the addictive Eurodance parody that is fast becoming a song of the summer..

When Danish Eurodance act Aqua commented on his TikTok video, "Wait, is this play about us???" a reference to the much-memed line from HBO teen drama Euphoria Gordon replied with high praise, calling their 1997 debut Aquarium "one of the greatest dance albums of all time"..

Indeed, Gordon also told GQ he had a "hunch" that Aqua's signature hit Barbie Girl would enjoy a revival this summer because of Greta Gerwig's super-hyped Barbie movie, thereby paving the way for his own Eurodance riff..

Earlier this summer, Minaj and singer Kim Petras cracked the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Top 40 with Alone, a pop-rap track that cleverly interpolates Alice Deejay's Eurodance anthem Better Off Alone..

I'm Good (Blue) became a bona fide chart hit after going viral on TikTok the same trajectory Gordon will be hoping Planet of the Bass achieves when it is released as a single on 15th August..
