Story of ‘Mouse T – Horny’
23 May 2025
Mousse T. tells the story behind his 1998 house hit ‘Horny’
The German-Turkish DJ and producer recounts how ‘Horny’ originated as a remix of Michael Jackson’s ‘Ghosts’, and how a visit in the studio from Roger Sanchez sealed the deal for him to finish the track. Originally an instrumental, named after its instantly-recognisable horn section, Mousse T. later brought in singer Inaya Day, who delivered its now iconic vocal hooks. ‘Horny’ went on to be a huge hit, charting in the UK.
Mousse T. reflects on its success, filming the music video, being featured on South Park and going into the Top of The Pops studio.
