Cartoons 又名 Cartoons DK ，一个来自丹麦的舞曲团体，由于在1998年演唱了1958年由 Ross Bagdasarian创作的“witch doctor”而被广为人知，他们以稀奇古怪的塑料服装和假发和卡通风格来演绎在20世纪50年代风靡欧美的洛卡比里（Rockabilly）。 乐队至今已售出的200万张唱片，是他们成为丹麦最成功的乐队。 乐队由六重奏组成，分别是Toonie, Sponge, Shooter, Buzz, Puddy还有Boop，最初签约丹麦FLEX Records公司，后被EMI丹麦分公司收购。 乐队最出名的歌曲是Witch Doctor，曾在UK榜上获得第二的成绩，他们的"Doodah"曾获得UK榜前十的点击率，"Aisy Waisy"获得前20的点击率，以及专辑“Toonage”也跻身专辑榜前20的行列。
Cartoons, also known as Cartoons DK, were a technobilly/glam pop group from Denmark, best known for their 1998 Eurodance cover of the 1958 novelty song, "Witch Doctor" by Ross Bagdasarian, as well as for their outlandish plastic costumes and wigs used in live performances as caricatures of 1950s American rock and roll stars. Many of their hits are Europop covers of old rockabilly hits.
The band has so far sold over 2 million albums, making them one of the most successful Danish pop bands ever. They have also been nominated for Danish Grammys according to their official website.
The sextet, who use the stage names Toonie, Sponge, Shooter, Buzz, Puddy, and Boop, were first signed to FLEX Records, moving later to EMI Denmark.
Their most notable single to date is "Witch Doctor", which reached number two in the UK Singles Chart; with its combination of the original's "ooh-ee-ooh-aah-aah" chorus (although lacking that record's double-speed playback of the chorus), driving dance beat and occasional guitar breaks.
They had further success in the UK with the Top 10 hit, "DooDah!" (a version of the American folk song "Camptown Races"); the Top 20 hit "Aisy Waisy", which was performed on Jim Davidson's Generation Game; and a Top 20 debut album, Toonage (Later released with additional songs under the title More Toonage).
Their second album, Toontastic! did not match the success of its predecessor but several notable hits were released from it including "Diddley Dee," "Big Coconuts," and a reworked cover of Les Humphries Singers' "Mama Loo."
Cartoons rounded out their success with a greatest hits album composed of previous tracks from their two albums as well as three new tracks.
In July 2016, Karina Jensen died from cancer, after having a double mastectomy in 2012. She was survived by her husband and two children.
