"Itsy Bitsy Spider" (or "Itzy Bitzy Spider") was the debut single by the Norwegian/Danish dance-pop group Aqua, under their original name of Joyspeed.[1]
The song is based on an old song for kids called "Itsy Bitsy Spider", which has been remixed by Aqua into a techno-fused song.
Released in 1995, the single was a minor hit in Sweden, charting for one week[1] at no. 54. The song was also released in Denmark and Germany, although it failed to chart. It was the only Aqua release under their original manager, Michael Brinkenstjärna, who would later successfully sue them for royalties relating to this and later releases.
The single is now a rare collector's item with less than one thousand copies in existence.
The song has not appeared on any of their studio or compilation albums.
