This guy just wants some peace, but just never gets it... (Left to right: John, Joe Bigman, and Paul)
Loco Loco is a Eurodance novelty group from Germany centered around a 3D-animated man named Joe Bigman and two mosquitos named John (green shirt) and Paul (blue/purple shirt), both originating from No Me Moleste Mosquito. The band was created and produced by Wolfgang Von Webenau and Achim Kleist.They are most known for their songs, "Mosquito" and "It Burns! Burns! Burns!". Those singles became popular around 2006. Their first album was titled Planet Loco.
Loco Loco contains examples of:
- Americans Hate Tingle: In-Universe; in "It Burns! Burns! Burns!", Joe remarks that the Fire-Breathing Diner he ate was "not made for the tourist group".note
- An Aesop:
- The world is bigger than you think. There is so much to see and do.
- "I Catched a Cold in Scotland". Make sure you are prepared and try to stay well.
- Animal Gender-Bender: The mosquitos, John and Paul respectively, can suck blood even though only female mosquitos do that.
- Butt-Monkey: Joe Bigman. He gets tortured by the mosquitos quite a lot and very little does he get any peace. He also seems to go through general misfortune in addition to that.
- Disney Acid Sequence: The Dream Sequence in "It Burns! Burns! Burns!" shows Joe playing the pungi, flying all over Bombay, and roasted chickens that dance in a flash mob around him.
- Fire-Breathing Diner: In "It Burns! Burns! Burns!", Joe eats chicken with chili sauce which causes him to breathe fire like a dragon. However, the song is technically about curry instead of chicken.
- "I Am Great!" Song: "Bubblegum Cowboy" is about a cowboy who kisses numerous women in every state, and about how much he enjoys his supply of bubble gum.
- Non-Indicative Title: "It Burns! Burns! Burns!" is about curry, but the video shows Joe eating a chicken drumstick instead.
- Oktoberfest: The song "Ba-Ba-Bavaria" is all about Joe and the mosquitos going to the famous Oktober Fest in Bavaria, as the song says.
- Sick Episode: "I Catched a Cold In Scotland"
- Sultry Belly Dancer: In "Mosquito", Joe imagines himself dancing with Marianne in a salsa club when seeing her on tv. This happens again in "It Burns! Burns! Burns!" where he dreams about an Indian woman belly dancing alongside roasted chickens.
- That Russian Squat Dance: The whole theme of the song "Dance The Kasatshock" is about the dance.
- They Killed Kenny Again: Downplayed but the mosquitos always end up being squashed on the camera, but somehow appear again in the following video.
- World Tour: Every song in the "Planet Loco" album is about a different country or culture. "Mr. Loco Loco Blues" summarizes the band's music.
