Our own Chris Hardwick is a melodica player of some note, but can he play a medley of club and Europop hits of the ’90s in one neatly segued medley like this guy? Hear Benny the Jukebox play C&C Music Factory, 2 Unlimited, Haddaway, Eiffel 65, “Barbie Girl,” the Macarena, “Baby Got Back,” “We Like to Party,” Ace of Base, and many more you may or may not remember or like, closing with that stadium anthem by Zombie Nation, “Kernkraft 400.”
And, hey, he’s been on the Nerdist Podcast. He’s Benny from Axis of Awesome. He says he can play any requests and challenges, because if he’s heard it, he claims, he can play it: try him at [email protected].
Now, I’ll just go off and try to scrub “Cotton Eye Joe” out of my mind.

So that just reminded me that Jellyhead by Crush was my favourite song in Grade 6. Now I think I need to go listen to Europop for the next couple hours.
Great mix, thanks for posting!
That song is called “Sandstorm”! Thank you random Youtube video!
And Vengaboys! “We Like to Party” is such crack.
Wow.
Just took an express train right into downtown Nostalgia Town.
I wonder how long it took him to get it right.
Very impressive.
If you put on closed captioning, it will list the song and artist for every bit of this remix.
Very impressive effort. I think I would have passed out, not to mention I can’t play the melodica….
