Deep Forest – Sweet Lullaby (Official Video)

"Sweet Lullaby" came out in 1992 on Deep Forest's self-titled album, and the French group's calling card sounded like nothing else on the radio that year: a hushed, lilting melody floating on a soft dance-floor pulse, world music dressed for the club and the chill-out room at once. Dan Lacksman produced it, and Epic got it out as a single the same year.

It climbed into the top 10 in Australia, the Netherlands, Norway and the UK, and it came back in 1994 in a batch of remixes. The video did plenty of the lifting: Tarsem Singh directed it, shooting in 8 countries, and followed a young girl pedaling her tricycle around the globe. It picked up several nominations at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards.
