Daniel Küblböck - Heartbeat
Daniel K was a contestant on the first series of German Pop Idol (known there as Deutschland Sucht Den Superstar) but was beaten by cheesy Alexander Klaws. Daniel was much more memorable as you can imagine from the scary picture, and his song choices included Nena's Neun-Und-Neunzig Luftballons and Abba's Dancing Queen. This song. Heartbeat, was his second single and one of the happiest (but also silliest) songs I've ever heard. Parts of it remind me of Spirit In The Sky, which was a hit in Germany at the time, but the lyrics make even less sense and the whole thing is a million times more fun and sooooo catchy!
