Chorus of the song |
"Caramelldansen" (Swedish for 'The Caramelldance') is the first track from Swedish music group Caramell's second and final album Supergott released on 16 November 2001. It became an Internet meme in the mid-2000s after a sped-up version of the song was attached to a video loop from the Japanese anime Popotan, which went viral. This version of the song was officially released in 2006 in Sweden and Japan as "U-u-uma uma" (ウッーウッーウマウマ(゜∀゜)), the latter of which charted on Oricon. A virtual group called Caramella Girls was launched to promote the song, renditions in other languages, and other cover songs and original songs.
