"'Celebration'" is a Eurodance song by German band Fun Factory, released as the second single from their second album, 'Fun-Tastic' (1995). It is sung by Marie-Anett Mey and the rap is performed by Smooth T (a.k.a. Toni Cottura). A major hit in Europe, it peaked at number 10 in Spain, number 12 in Germany and number 19 in France. Outside Europe, the single reached number nine on the 'RPM' Dance/Urban chart in Canada and number 88 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 in the US. A music video was also produced, directed by Marcus Adams.
Critical reception
Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote, "Speaking of musical calls for peace and unity, this red-hot Euro-dance act drops its standard rapid pace down to a per-cussive pop/reggae groove for this engaging plea for racial harmony. The result is the act's most appealing single to date. Do not be surprised if this is also Fun Factory's biggest hit, too. You are likely to be humming the chorus for hours after the first time you hear it."
