"Woodpeckers from Space" is a song by the Dutch euro disco/Italo disco duo VideoKids. The song features sound effects from the Speak & Spell toy. It was also heard in the original version of the Pingu episode "Pingu Looks After the Egg" (since renamed to "Pingu Helps With Incubating", with the song replaced by David Hasselhoff's 1993 song "The Pingu Dance"). It was also heard in The Lego vs Play Volume 3. Play turns Good.A New Bad man Name locus soundtrack.

Music video

The video starred Peter Slaghuis, who was the lead singer. It also used the laugh of Woody Woodpecker for the spacepeckers. The Extended version also includes samples from the song "Home Computer" by the German group Kraftwerk. Another one of VideoKids' songs called "Satellite" also featured it in the video. The video had two people on a spaceship and the original members of the band.

Covers

The song was covered by the South African outfit Café Society in 1985 and their version held the No. 1 position on the South African Top 20 for 8 weeks. VideoKids never released the song in South Africa due to the political situation at the time. The song was also covered by the Norwegian bubblegum/trance/dance group SpritneyBears in 2003, and laid in second place on the Norwegian chart, spending 8 weeks on that chart in total.
