Sounds a lot like the 2000-era band Texas.

Oh, brother. Last year, I gave my students the option of using this among five other tunes as a music project to create a video through Creative Commons licensing. About TWENTY of the 28 kids chose THIS tune! I had to edit, review, assess their videos ... listened to this song dozens of times. I would never have thought I'd hear it here!
Here's an example of the students' work, if you have a moment.

There's mixing and then there is blatant theft. Integrity? Plagiarism? Or is it ethically and musically OK to simply rip off other's creative efforts? Not a new topic, but listening to this track, the extent of the material incorporated seems a bit over the top.

Dude, are you even listening to the guitars? No one was doing that in 80s electronica. Methinks you're just fixated on the drums.
As interesting as the vocals are, the instrumentals seem like something recycled from an 80's synthpop band—and I mean that in a bad way. I can almost picture the guy in a narrow tie and Dippity-Do hairdo playing a Keytar, and the drummer sitting in front of his red, hexagonal, electronic drum kit.

Go ahead you "this sounds like" people. Everyone sounds like someone else. Regardless of who sounds like whom, I find most of Euphoria crisp and refreshing. So to me they sound like a freshly made salad. Delicious.

The etymology comes originally from a word game that was first exposed in pop music in the song "Double Dutch Bus" in which they play the game on some kids' names. Snoop Dogg brought it back in recent years, starting with some of his songs on Doggystyle, and continuing through his more current albums.
