"Club Bizarre" is the single performed by the German musical project U96, created by record producer Alex Christensen. The song was released in February 1995 and is the second track from the album of the same name.

Critical reception[edit]

In his review of the Club Bizarre album, Larry Flick from Billboard said the song "shows it successfully trying smoother keyboard sounds that complement the simple, but cute hooks anchoring each cut."[1] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "So unlike anybody else in Euro, the childlike songstress, the melody and the airy sample from Alannah Myles' "Song Instead of a Kiss" add up to music that's a new nursery rhyme for '90s kids." Head of music Bernd Albrecht by ORB Fritz/ Potsdam (Germany) enthused, "What a classic melody. You can hear at once that this song stands out off the whole Euro pack."[2] In his 2020 book Move Your Body (2 The 90's): Unlimited Eurodance, Juha Soininen commented, "It mixed strangely ethereal trance sound and strings and added filtered vocals. In addition to that, it was released with a weird music video."[3]

Chart performance[edit]

"Club Bizarre" was a major hit in several European countries, peaking at number-one in Finland. It also entered the top 20 in Austria (14), Germany (19), the Netherlands (11) and Sweden (16). Additionally, the single was a top 30 hit in Belgium (30), as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where it reached its best position as number 28 in April 1995. In the United Kingdom, "Club Bizarre" peaked at number 70,[4] but on the UK Dance Singles Chart, it hit number 25 on its first week in June 1996. Outside Europe, the song charted in Israel, peaking at number 16.

Music video[edit]

The accompanying music video for "Club Bizarre" was directed by Paul Morgans.[5]
