Around the World (La La La La La) was released by German Eurodance group ATC in 2000, based on the 1998 Russian song Pesenka by Ruki Vverh!. Its simple la la la chorus helped it become a major hit across Europe and beyond, and the hook later found a second life online. Short clips of the refrain circulate on soundboards and in edits because the melody needs no introduction and instantly signals travel, movement and upbeat nostalgia, long after the full song left the charts.
