Moomin (Japanese: 楽しいムーミン一家, Hepburn: Tanoshii Mūmin Ikka) is a Japanese-European anime television series produced by Telecable Benelux B.V.. It is based on the Moomin novels and comic strips by the Finnish illustrator and author Tove Jansson and her brother Lars Jansson. It was the third anime adaptation of Moomins but the first to be distributed and dubbed in other countries worldwide. Moomin first aired on TV Tokyo from April 12, 1990 to October 3, 1991. The series has also been dubbed English and aired on CBBC in United Kingdom during the same year.
Moomin takes place the peaceful Moominvalley, where young Moomin along with his parents Moominpappa and Moominmamma live at the large and blue Moominhouse. The series follows many fun or even obscure adventures of Moomin family and their friends around the Moominvalley or sometimes outside of it. Most of the stories involve discovering magical objects/creatures, adventures in different locations or dealing with everyday situations. While many episodes are faithful or at least loosely based on the novels and comic strips, the series has its own consistent continuity.
Hypnotic tango, tango, tango!
Stuck in my seat, can't move, no way
The other guys knows the game to play
I'm watchin' her, I'm watchin' me, I'm gettin' brave
Oh, take him apart, say listen to me
Look on the floor and all is spinning round
Someone told me this was just a dance
And take a chance I ain't met before
Do you think I really have a chance? (x 2)
Hypnotic tango, tango, tango!
Rough Diamond he smiles, she looks at him
Ain't gonna be no story in love
Take me to the dancefloor by the hand
Give me this night in a foreign land
Look on the floor and all is spinning round
Someone told me this was just a dance
And take a chance I ain't met before
