This one hit wonder from 1991 was inspired by the fall of the Berlin wall and collapse of the Soviet Union. I hope this song experiences a rebirth soon for a very similar reason!

The bass line, aside from a short pre-chorus section, is the same measure repeated throughout the song. But it’s a tricky rhythm. I can’t imagine playing it while jumping around like the band does in their music video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MznHdJReoeo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MznHdJReoeo)

There are 2 low “D”s played in this song, well suited for a 5-string bass.

This is a huge pop song from the mid 90's that has received new attention as the soundtrack to recent "Staples" ads promoting their sign and banner printing services.  Although it's from a Scandinavian dance band, this iconic song has a reggae feel with many of the bass notes played on the up beats.

The Sign

What a great song! This melodic groove made it to #6 on the Hot 100 in 1984. A 5-string bass comes in real handy for this arrangement, as the song starts on the low “E” and goes down from there.
