“We’re Going to Ibiza” is the title of a song by Dutch eurodance group the Vengaboys, and we couldn’t keep this gem out of our choices for the Summer Heat week.
 
The song was released in August 1999 as the sixth and final single from The Party Album.
It was one of the Vengaboys’ most successful singles. The song was based on Typically Tropical’s 1975 number one hit “Barbados” with modified lyrics.
While “Boom Boom Boom Boom” was still on the UK chart, “We’re Going to Ibiza” reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, as the previous single had also done.
 
The video features the members of the Vengaboys, depicted as animated characters, traveling to Ibiza while passing by many places including Rome and Moscow. The opening scene is at Toronto’s city hall. Incidentally, in the video the Washington D.C. snapshot showcases the Clinton-Lewinsky Incident. It can be found 1:40 into the video, and lasts for about 4 seconds.
Ahhhh… Good old nineties!
