"Hands Up" is a song by Norwegian Eurodance group, consisting of singer and former model Linda Johansen and two rappers.[1] Released in 1995 by Hype Records as a cover of the 1981-single by French pop music duo Ottawan, it peaked at number ten on the Norwegian singles chart.[2] In Finland, the song was an even bigger hit, reaching number seven. A controversial music video featuring frequent nudity with brief modesty bars was also produced for the song.

Swedish band Army of Lovers had a number 44 hit in Sweden in 2001 with their cover version of the same song.[3]
