Welcome to Holland!
The 80's were real hot.
I got all these cheesy songs on MP3; I love cheesy 80's

MAYWOOD! Rio


ANITA MEYER! Why Tell Me Why


BZN! Mon Amour (pay attention to the audience members one minute into the song)


THE DOLLY DOTS! Radio (look at the girls; find scary, find baby)


DOE MAAR 32 Jaar (Sinds Een Dag of Twee) (best selling Dutch band for a long while; Beatles effect)


Scott Fitzgerald & Yvonne Keeley - If I Had Words

Dude! Really?

Why?

Thanks Herman.....now the whole goddamn org won't take us serious anymore.....

If I remember correctly Dolly Dots did a record called "Ps I love you" which was a huge hit in the US

You smell like it too....

abierman said:

Right now I do, for sure.

How was the weekend, matey? Went to the Uitmarkt?

Doe Maar was/is still great !!!
The hype was 2 big at the time 2 really see
how good they were..but they got their well deserved
respect years later.

IfI had words was a song wich reminds me at my childhood
...I thought it was from the 70's (??)


Dolly Dots....aaaah,reminds of my first visits alone at
the fair on the roundabout. Liked Boys much better

And I just can't stand Anita Meyer..my mom liked this a lot
Same goes 4 Maywood....


And U forgot Mai Tai,they had 2 great MJ-sounding hits!

Yeah,Belgian people loooved everything that came from Holland.

HamsterHuey said:

The weekend was great, totally skipped the Uitmarkt.....that stuff is for tree-hugging leftwing hippies.....
I hit the town on Friday, on Saturday a friend got married, a huge party at a beachclub in Bloemendaal! It was awesome.....almost got seduced by Hans Teeuwen's younger sister!!!!!

abierman said:

Wasn't your girlfriend there?

HamsterHuey said:

Yep,that's the one!
I still like it...guilty pleasures..

Paisley4u said:

These are all so old; they remind me of being a wee fella. Even the BZN, I love that tune, in a weird way.

I got to admit,listening to Anita also brings back some great memories.

BZN was so popular,their biggest hit was "amour.." or something
like that.

Paisley4u said:

Mon Amour. It's the third video in my initial post. Zotte Belg.

HamsterHuey said:

Paisley4u said:
