Urban Hype - Trip to Trumpton

Trip to Trumpton is a dance track released by the group Urban Hype in the early 1990's. It followed a short-lived trend of basing dance tracks upon audio sampling from various TV shows of the previous few decades; other examples of this included the track Sesames Treet by Smart E's. In this case, the track features audio snippets from late 60's children's show Trumpton, and the video also uses several visual references to this show.

The fast paced editing is common for such a fast, upbeat track, and the surreal imagery helps to reinforce the link with the 60's culture and style. The track's lyrics solely consist of quotes lifted directly from the show and the track itself opens with music taken from the show, before becoming more traditionally dance based. The video includes performance footage, notably mixed with deliberately surreal clips.
