Yes, Men Without Hats were Canadian.
And I unreservedly love both this song and this video for their sheer innocence. A spritely, unabashedly cheerful and happy song, combined with a video that has a baby playing keyboard, a snowman on drums, an Elvis impersonator, the Representatives Of The Children of the World, and superimposed sound effects. If you do not at least slightly like it, you have no soul!

Anyone who does not like “Pop Goes the World” is dead to me.
Needs Orlando Jones …. And a midget.
I love this song but I feared I was the only one. I even downloaded every remix I could find of it a few months ago.
It’s good, but “The Safety Dance” remains the superior song.
SO MUCH LOVE.
When I was in middle school, with my half-sized half-ass keyboard, I tried to figure out how to play this song.
Never ever saw the video, though. It’s a little… um. Weird.
I love that song. Always have. Simple and catchy without getting too far into the cheese factor. Hilariously goofy video as well.
