‘Şımarık’ was the name of the song with which Tarkan Tevetoğlu, who was born in Alzey, Rhine-Hesse, took off at the end of the 1990s. The song reached several top positions in the European charts, including sixth place in Germany, and received gold and platinum awards. The Şımarık version of ‘Kiss Kiss’, covered by Australian singer Holly Valance, also caused a worldwide sensation.
