In 1994, Swedish country/eurodance megagroup Rednex stormed the world with their inspiring ballad “Cotton Eye Joe”.

The song skyrocketed to #25 on the Billboard Charts, and helped the group sell over 10 million albums worldwide.

To this day, one cannot dance through a wedding reception without hearing the techno-banjo of producers Janne Ericcson, Orjan Oberg, and Pat Reiniz.

Well believe it or not, the popularity of Rednex didn’t go very far beyond their smash single. There were your stereotypical follow-up albums and remixes, but previous successes could not be matched.

Sadly, the brains behind the group are starting to run out of ideas to keep this iconic group together.

And just like most failing business endeavors that once had something going for it, Rednex has been put on the selling block.

Seriously.

Go to ebay and type in 'Rednex'.

For $1.5 million US you can own Rednex, but you have to act soon! Bidding closes on September 19th.

If you are interested in owning your very own “classic party band” (as described on the ebay page), you won’t have much to compete with. Amazingly, no one has placed any bids. While it’s not clear how long the group has been for sale, there was an initial bidding process as far back as May 2007.

According to the groups website, you get control of all trademarks, contracts, personnel, and future opportunities.



In our opinion, you’d be an idiot NOT to buy the group.
