As a dance music producer, his first big success came with the single Somebody Dance with Me, which is similar in sound to Rockwell's, "Somebody's Watching Me". The single hit number one in Switzerland. After this, he charted well with the singles Keep on Dancing and Take Control.

René has received numerous golds and platinums for his songs and has found success in Europe (primarily Germany and Switzerland) and South America. René's more recent songs are a departure from eurodance, but he still produces decent eurodance tracks such as Moscow (2001), No More Pain (2003), and Amazing Life (2005).

One of his singles, Chihuahua, was used in a Spanish Coca-Cola commercial. In 2003 it was re-released due to its huge success and it ended being the second best selling single of the year world wide. In December 2004, the Cantonese version of Chihuahua was written by Wyman Wong as the theme song of the same product. This version was performed by Joey Yung.

In 2004, as a result of the success of Chihuahua, René was awarded the Swiss award for Showbusiness at the Swiss awards, an annual event meant to recognise high achieving Swiss people.

As well as being a eurodance performer and producer, René is also a talented choreographic dancer.

During 1993 René met Nancy Rentzsch; she joined his team in 1995. René and Nancy became a couple and in 2002 they married and had two children, Jamiro Rene (born October 8, 2002) and Kayley Nancy (born September 29, 2006).

DJ Bobo’s became a United Nations World Food Programme National Ambassador Against Hunger in October 2006, becoming the first Swiss celebrity to take up the role. He was also a participant in the 2006 Geneva Walk the World event.

DJ Bobo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're gonna rock the night
Yeah, yeah
Get ready for a bite
Yeah, yeah
1000 years to go
Yeah, yeah
And now we start the show
We're gonna rock the night

Welcome to mistery, we're able to fly
This is your nightmare, we live and let die
Oh yeah, that's what I like
Here is my story, your blood's gonna freeze
I never feel sorry, I'm a living disease
Oh yeah, that's what I like

Strange kind of feelings in the dark of the night
Strange kind of deamons in the pale moonlight
Oh yeah, that's what I like
Outhere in the nighttime is a healing beat
No use to fight it, got to moove your feet
Oh yeah, that's what I like

In the heat of the night in the pale moonshine
There's no wrong or right, I'm gonna make you mine
In the heat of the night, eyes start to glow
My pleasure to invite, time to rock the show

In the heat of the night I wait for you
Common feel my body I make your dreams come true

In the heat of the night I will hear you sayingn'
Please let me be your knight and I will be your king

Overall Meaning

DJ Bobo's song "Rock the Night" is an upbeat, energetic track that encourages listeners to let loose and enjoy the night. The opening lines of the song, "We're gonna rock the night, get ready for a bite," set the tone of excitement and anticipation for the listener. The lyrics throughout the song highlight the sense of freedom and release that can be found in the night, as well as the darker and more mysterious elements that come out at night.

The verse, "Welcome to mystery, we're able to fly, this is your nightmare, we live and let die" suggests that there is a sense of danger and excitement in the night that is not found during the day. This feeling is further reinforced by the lines "Strange kind of demons in the pale moonlight, out here in the nighttime is a healing beat, no use to fight it, got to move your feet." The night is portrayed as a place where anything can happen, where people can let go of their inhibitions and lose themselves in the music and the atmosphere.

The chorus is a repeated call to action, with the lyrics "In the heat of the night, we're gonna rock the show." It is a celebration of the power of music to bring people together and create a sense of unity and excitement. The song encourages listeners to embrace the night, to let go of their fears and inhibitions, and to enjoy the moment.
