"Captain Jack" is a song by the German Eurodance group Captain Jack, consisting of producer and vocalist Franky Gee, actor Sharky Durban and singer Liza da Costa. It was released in July 1995, by CDL, as the lead single from their debut album, The Mission (1996). The song is produced by Udo Niebergall and Eric Schnecko, and is based on an old US Army military cadence known as "Hey, Hey Captain Jack". It was a great success in many countries, particularly in Latvia, the Netherlands and Hungary, where it topped the chart. It was certified platinum in Germany and gold in the Netherlands and Norway. The accompanying music video was directed by Mark Glaeser. "Captain Jack" was nominated to the 1997 Echo Awards for the most successful national dance single.
