"Jungle Jive" is the twenty-second single by Dutch girl group Luv', released in 1991 by RCA Records/BMG. It appears on their 1991 album Sincerely Yours .
The second semester of 1990 saw changes to Luv's destiny. First of all, Michelle Gold was replaced by Carina Lemoine. Then, the trio had a new record company (RCA Records). Finally, after songs influenced by the Stock Aitken Waterman productions, the trio concentrated its efforts on a more eclectic music style (with elements of flamenco, Jazz, Rap, Dance, and Pop). Marga Scheide's partner, the producer Jacques Zwart (a.k.a. E.Mergency), was involved in Luv's new repertoire. He recruited famous session musicians in the Dutch music scene (like Bert Meulendijk, Eddie Conard, Hans Jansen, Lex Bolderdijk, Omar Dupree and Ton op 't Hof) for the recording of the group's new material.
The Spanish-themed song "Hasta Mañana" (1990) was the first single of the new Luv's formation to be released by RCA but failed to top the charts. The follow-up single, "Jungle Jive" (with its Exotica and Swing parts), composed by Scheide and Zwart, had the same fate and couldn't break into the hit lists. The release of this song coincided with the Gulf War, in which the Netherlands were part of the coalition against Iraq. Luv' performed in Dubai to support the Dutch troops involved in this conflict, following the examples of Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Raquel Welch or Kylie Minogue who had entertained soldiers.
Luv' were a Dutch girl group that scored a string of hit records in Continental Europe as well as Israel, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Argentina and Mexico in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The original members were Patty Brard, José Hoebee and Marga Scheide. In 1979, Luv' was 'Holland's best export act' and thus received the Conamus Export Prize.
Josina van de Wijdeven, known as José Hoebee, is a Dutch pop singer. She was a member of Luv', a famous Dutch girl group in the late 1970s and early 1980s that scored hits in more than 15 countries.

She formed a duo known as Bonnie & José with Bonnie St. Claire to record Dutch cover versions of ABBA's songs.
Margareth "Marga" Scheide is a Dutch singer and former model. She was a member of the girl group Luv'. Alongside Patty Brard and José Hoebee, she scored a string of international hit songs such as "You're the Greatest Lover", "Trojan Horse", "Casanova" and "Ooh, Yes I Do". She was the only Luv' singer to be involved in all the incarnations of the group.
"Tingalingaling" is the thirteenth single by the Dutch girl group Luv', released in the summer of 1981 by CNR/Carrere Records. The song appears on the Forever Yours album and the Goodbye Luv' compilation. It was meant to be Luv's farewell to their public.
