"Omen III" is a song by German Eurodance band Magic Affair, which consisted of vocalist Franca Morgano and rapper A.K.

Released in January 1994 by Electrola and Power Brothers as the lead single from the band's debut album, Omen (The Story Continues...) (1994), it is also their most successful song.

The previous two Omen singles released back in '89 by Sony were sung by German dance floor house act Mysterious Art, which was founded in 1988.

[1] While German music TV channel VIVA and dealers got behind it, Germany's radio stations played a minor role in its story of success.

Additionally, the single entered the top 10 also in Belgium (8), Denmark (4), the Netherlands (4), Sweden (3) and Switzerland (3), as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where it climbed to a very respectable number five position.

Larry Flick from Billboard felt that Magic Affair "exerts tremendous energy in its effort to be rousing and ominous at the same time, with jarring and amusing results.

"[6] Alan Jones from Music Week rated it four out of five, adding, "Frantic Teutonic dance, a la Snap, Culture Beat et al, and likely to achieve the same kind of crossover success, because it has an irresistible hook.

"[7] Johnny Cigarettes from NME complimented the song as "a spectacularly formularised attempt to be 2 Unlimited, Snap and vaguely spooky, with a monstrous tune at the same time.

"[8] James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update deemed it a "sinister effects and 'Valkyries' started Culture Beat-like frantic shrill 0-137.6-0bpm German smash".
