"Meet Her at the Love Parade" is a song recorded by German disc jockey Da Hool. It was released in August 1997 by the Kosmo label as the lead single from his second studio album, Here Comes Da Hool (1997). The song references the Love Parade, a former German electronic dance music festival and parade, and had great success in many countries, particularly in Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, and the Netherlands, where it reached the top 10. In Iceland, the song peaked at number one. It was released in the United Kingdom in February 1998 as the Nalin & Kane remix and reached number 15 on the UK Singles Chart. A second remix by Fergie reached number 11 on the same chart in July 2001. British clubbing magazine Mixmag included the song on their list of "The 15 Best Mid-90s Trance Tracks" in 2018.

Critical reception

British magazine Music Week gave the song four out of five, concluding that "Frank Tomiczek's synth-driven instrumental, effectively remixed by Nalin & Kane, will appeal to house and trance fans." Chris Finan from Record Mirror Dance Update rated "Meet Her at the Love Parade" five out of five, writing, "This German track is already well established on various imports in its Nalin & Kane versions which stand out for the simplicity of the looped synth stabs."

Music video

Nikolas Mann directed the music video for the song, which premiered in mid-1997. The music video Stéphane Sednaoui directed for Björk's 1993 single "Big Time Sensuality" heavily influenced the video.
