Krupa

"Krupa" is a song by British big beat/electronic rock band Apollo 440, released in July 1996 by Sony Music as the first single from their second album, Electro Glide in Blue (1997). The cover credits it as appearing in an advert for Sunkist. The song is a homage to the Polish-American drummer Gene Krupa and is almost completely instrumental. The only lyrics in the entire song are "Yeah yeah" and "Now back to Gene Krupa's syncopated style", which are only repeated a couple of times. The main focus of the song is on the drumming rhythms, which were sampled from "The Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet. "Krupa" also has its own music video, shot in black-and-white, which shows various generic people on a normal day in a typical city. The video avoids showing people's faces in order to focus on the music.
