Sash! "Encore Une Fois" TOTP 1997

If this tune had never happened in 1997 and landed fresh today in 2026 it would still be massive. I'm sure of it.

"The world you grew up in no longer exists."

Zoe Ball was a bit of alright, wasn't she?

Despite her impeccable French pronounciation, vocalist Sabine Ohmes is actually German. In 1998, she released two French language tracks under the name Encore: Le Disc-Jockey (#12 in the UK) and Le Paradis.

A 90s dance anthem! Did you know the iconic French female vocals for this track weren't recorded by a professional singer? It was literally the voice of Sabine Ohmes, a close friend of the group who had zero music experience but lent her spoken words for fun 🔥 Mind-blowing data

90s and early 00s music in Britain was GOATed. Millions of times better than the pop slop they serve us these days.

Humanity peaked right about here!

I used to love DJ-ing back in this era, The music of the late 80s to early 2ks was so euphoric it just brang so much energy, an energy modern music is missing, Cappella U Got 2 Let The Music.

Une Courgette Une Fois!

This clip of Sash’s “Encore Une Fois” was performed during Zoë Ball’s first episode of Top of the Pops on Friday, 28 March 1997.

Such a tune!

This makes me mourn the pre digital age era where people wore dignified clothes and lived in the moment and not through their phone lens.

"Mesdames, messieurs, le disc-jockey, Sash est de retour" Although "Encore Une Fois" is sung in French, Sash! are a German group. German singer Sabine Ohmes sang the famous French vocals on their breakthrough 1997 hit, "Encore une fois". She performs mainly in French.

@mv_jenkins Tune

That 'singer' was hot. I remember her

I remember Sash came and played at my uni in 2006, he claimed his record company fucked him over and he'd be back with new music soon. I'm still waiting

Schoolyard choreography tho
