Rednex is a Swedish manufactured techno/folk/bluegrass band. They had an international novelty hit with the song "Cotton Eye Joe" in 1994. Although extremely popular in Germany, where the band holds the record of most total weeks (25) at No.1 on the German singles chart over the past 30 years—scoring such hits as "Old Pop in an Oak", "Spirit of the Hawk” and "Wish You Were Here"--"Cotton Eye Joe" remains Rednex's sole hit in the United States. Rednex was initially the brainchild of Swedish producers Janne Ericsson, Örjan "Öban" Öberg, and Pat Reiniz, who decided to try mixing country music with eurodance. The name "Rednex" was chosen as a deliberate mis-spelling of the word "rednecks". They reworked the traditional folk song "Cotton-Eyed Joe" into a dance song and released it in 1994, to huge worldwide success. Cotton Eye Joe started the Country House music fad which lasted for a few years afterward.
