The Danish duo Junior Senior chose a good time to bring their bizarre brand of pop to Britain. Thanks to the first whiff of spring, their debut single, Move Your Feet — a nifty disco number tailor-made for sunny days — is yo-yoing about the Top 10 and should get a second lease of life when the Ibiza season gets going.

Move Your Feet is one of those big, dumb, feel-good dance tracks Fatboy Slim might have made a few years ago — in fact, Fatboy tried to sign Junior Senior to his own label last year. It sounds as if it steals from My Old Piano by Diana Ross, pastes on some crazy percussion, adds an amateur rap and a slice of Seventies funk, then goes out on the town for a boogie. Oh, and the video features a satanic squirrel trying to blow up the world.

Musically, Move Your Feet is as fresh as Daft Punk’s Da Funk first time round, which is almost enough to make up for the previous pop offerings from Denmark — Aqua and the Cartoons.

It helps that Junior Senior look as silly as they sound. Junior (real name Jesper) is a straight, cute Mark Owen lookalike who plays bass, writes most of the songs and sings a little. Senior (Jeppe) is a large, loud, moustache-sporting gay who wears a chequered visor and chunky gold chains, jumps around a lot and raps. In a pop chart sorely short on fun, the pair are a breath of fresh air.

Fortunately, D-D-Don’t Stop the Beat (Mercury) isn’t stuffed with similar songs — that would be cheesy. Instead, the Little and Large of the Danish scene dabble in electro, B52s style oddball pop, garage rock, Eighties indie, Nineties Britpop and Phil Spector-ish girl group grooves. Sometimes, they throw the lot into the pot and still come away with a toe-tapping tune.

The anthemic opener, Go Junior, Go Senior, sets a Bobby Gillespie-like vocal to a plinky-plonk piano and electro beats, has a shouty chorus about kids and a line about the son of Frankenstein getting down. Shake Me Baby sounds like Bob Dylan set to beats, and Chicks & Dicks is punk with a tag-team rap.

The second half of the album isn’t as good as the spark-ling first, but it’s still worth hanging on in there for some of the silliest raps since the Beastie Boys were at their best. On the scratchy last track, White Trash, Junior Senior pretty much sum themselves up — “We wanna be like Nancy and Lee/ We wanna sing like Kym and Mylene/ We wanna wear the same as Sonny and Cher/ And show we got balls like the New York Dolls.” If the group didn’t exist, Spike Jonze would have dreamt them up for a movie.
