"Ooops Up" is a song by German Eurodance group Snap!.

Release

It was released on 1 May 1990 as their second single from their debut studio album World Power. The song is a re-working of "I Don't Believe You Want to Get Up and Dance (Ooops!)"; a 1980 hit by The Gap Band, with which band member Penny Ford was a former backing singer.[1] The song was a world-wide hit, reaching number-one in the Netherlands and Greece, and it charted the top ten in many countries.[2]

Content

In the song, the narrator talks about Murphy's Law, and everything that went wrong during his day.

Critical reception

The Gavin Report wrote about the song: "Reaching into The Gap Band songbook, this powerhouse outfit comes up with the perfect remake, giving it a glowing nineties treatment."[3]

Network 40 wrote: "A powerful bass busting track combining rap and song. Already one of the most danced to songs in the country."[4]
