"Eeny Meeny Miny Moe" is the seventh single by Dutch girl group Luv', released in the summer of 1979 by Philips/Phonogram Records. This song appears on the formation's second album Lots Of Luv' and entered the record charts in Benelux, German-speaking countries and Denmark.

Background

After the success of "Casanova" on the Continental European charts, "Eeny Meeny Miny Moe" was released as the follow-up single. The track's title and chorus lyrics deal with a famous children's counting rhyme in English-speaking countries (Eeny Meeny Miny Moe). Its Bouzouki and Balalejka-theme is highly inspired by Boney M.'s "Rasputin".

During the promotion of the song, Luv' and their producer Hans van Hemert were not satisfied by the way Philips/Phonogram Records promoted them. They were about to leave the label and were looking for another deal.[1] The Dutch press speculated for weeks about their future record company. In October 1979, the trio signed a contract with CNR/Carrere.
