"Hands Up" is a song by Norwegian Eurodance group Hype, consisting of singer and former model Linda Johansen and two rappers. 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. 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.
