"Ooops Up" is a song by German Eurodance group Snap!, released in June 1990 as the second single from their debut studio album, World Power (1990). The song is a re-working of "I Don't Believe You Want to Get Up and Dance (Ooops!)"; a 1980 hit by the Gap Band, with whom band member Penny Ford was a former backing singer. It also samples "Maldòn", a 1989 hit recorded by the Guadeloupean band Zouk Machine. The single was a worldwide hit and reached number one in Greece. Its music video was directed by Liam Kan.
