How a classical Nana Mouskouri song went viral thanks to Netflix

·

A song by the renowned Greek singer Nana Mouskouri, “Guten Morgen Sonnenschein,” has taken the digital music platforms by storm, gaining immense popularity on services like Deezer, Spotify, and Apple Music, cnn.gr has reported.

This unexpected resurgence is due to the new German sci-fi series “Cassandra” on Netflix, which has turned the song into one of the most talked-about viral sensations in recent days.

In the series’ plot, a mysterious artificial intelligence controls a robot with a television screen for a head. This robot holds a family captive in a world filled with mystery and technological challenges.

Throughout the show, the robot plays various old hits, including “Guten Morgen Sonnenschein.” The song is featured repeatedly in key moments, creating a nostalgic and emotional atmosphere that captivates viewers.

This phenomenon is reminiscent of the revival of “Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush, which gained newfound fame and recognition after being featured in the hit series “Stranger Things.”

A similar effect seems to be happening with “Guten Morgen Sonnenschein,” which, despite being released decades ago, has once again captured the audience’s love, climbing the charts and resonating with a new generation of listeners.

The inclusion of this song in “Cassandra” highlights how music, regardless of its era, can shape contemporary pop culture and connect with younger audiences through digital platforms.
