Rednex is a Swedish manufactured techno/folk/bluegrass band. They had an international novelty hit with the song "Cotton Eye Joe" in 1994. Although extremely popular in Germany, where the band holds the record of most total weeks (25) at No.1 on the German singles chart over the past 30 years—scoring such hits as "Old Pop in an Oak", "The Spirit of the Hawk” and "Wish You Were Here"--"Cotton Eye Joe" remains Rednex's sole hit in the United States.
