WOW! - Big Beat Boy (1998, Music Video)
34Big Beat Boy by WOW! released in 1998. WOW! was a Dutch girl group in the late nineties to early 2000s who were produced by the duo Bolland & Bolland.
The song is likely produced for the Dutch film Abeltje (1998), also called "The Flying Liftboy" in English. The music video contains segments from the film. In the film, lift boy Abeltje takes of in a lift of a department store he just started working at. He lands the lift in a parking lot in New York City. While in New York Abeltje finds out that he does bear an uncanny resemblance to a boy named Johnny, who ran away from home. This makes his next destination clear: he wants to find Johnny. Mr Tump helps Abeltje to escape and immediately after they reach the lift they set off Perugona, the spot where Johnny disappeared.
WOW! scored their first hit in 1997 called Keer op Keer, which came from their album Wild + Ondeugend. The group scored another hit with Zomer'. The music video for The Night Before You Came was recorded in the Big Brother house.
The band consisted of Denise Koopal, Jenske Moermond, JoΓ«lle van Noppen, Mandy Gruijters and Naomi Louwerens. After each other, Van Noppen and Koopal left the group in 1999 and 2000 respectively. The band restarted in May 2001 under the new name Blaze. However, this was unsuccessful.
WOW! appeared for the last time in 2009 its original line-up once in the radio program Coen and Sander Show.
