Doop (band)

Doop was a dance music production act from the Netherlands formed by Ferry Ridderhof and Peter Garnefski, who would later record under the name Hocus Pocus and various other project names. They were producers and band members of Peplab.

In 2011 Doop released an E.P. called The Doop eepee produced by Ferry Ridderhof containing the single My Chihuahua.

Doop was best known for its eponymous single, which reached No. 1 in the UK. The song was influenced by the Charleston, a 1920s dance, and was most remembered for its lyrics, which consisted entirely of the word "doop" sung over a fast-paced big band sample. In the USA, a remix of the track by legendary house-music artist David Morales was released.

Hocus Pocus was best known for its single "Here's Johnny," which reached No. 1 in Australia.

Fictional character biography

Doop was said to be the product of a Cold War era U.S. military experiment, becoming instrumental in the fall of the Soviet Union.

He later served as the cameraman for the celebrity mutant superhero team X-Statix (formerly known as X-Force). He films a mission to North Africa which is later criticized by then-team leader Zeitgeist; he feels Doop should not be going for artistic shots. The next X-Force mission is to New York, where they are to rescue the boy band "Boyz R Us" from hostage takers. While in the briefing room, U-Go Girl asks Doop not to keep shooting her rear from a low angle. Doop replies in his language only the characters know, while inexplicably mouthing some of his recording equipment.
