VIDEO: The crowd at Electric Picnic go absolutely nuts for Mark McCabe’s Maniac 2000

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Proof that this song will never, ever get old.

There were any amount of highlights on another amazing night at the Electric Picnic but it was hard to top the atmosphere in the Electric Ireland tent when the place went beserk for a good five minutes last night.

Why? Well Mark McCabe was in the house and he treated everyone present to a rousing rendition of Maniac 2000, one of the biggest cult hits in Irish music history.

The crowd lapped it up and then some and such was the buzz that we might as well have been in a time-warp back to 15 years ago when Irish dancefloors were full of people yelling ‘Oggy, Oggy, Oggy’ at the top of their voice.

Oh Mark took it to the maximum alright.

Savage stuff.
