Aldi own-brand clothing? The height of sophistication.
From Eurovision fansite ESC Extra*:
The song, which is named after the cheapest beer brand available at discount supermarket Aldi, has been making waves [in The Netherlands]. It’s rapidly becoming a classic on any party where there’s room to play guilty pleasures galore. The song speaks of a holiday lover from a skiing trip in Austria. Obviously, that requires a blasting chorus in German. As Chantal used to host The Voice Kids in Germany, the German chorus won’t have given her any issues. With profound Dutch lyrics in the verses like “Our love didn’t last long, but it was hotter than a deep fryer”, it’s a sing along for a good party.
On this Tacky Music Monday, I'll let you be the judge of that, dear reader! It's a complete mindfuck...
Have a good week, folks - it's the last one before the Festering Season kicks in in earnest!

Taking tacky Christmas sweaters to a whole new level... and tacky music Monday, too. That was my first Dutch rapper.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it'll be the last Dutch rapper, too. Jx
DeleteMonday.. piff. It's hard enough already getting up on a Monday morning, let alone it being damp and pouring down rain.
ReplyDeleteAnd not only is it Monday ...however will I go on without an Aldi sweater?
...or Schultenbrau?! Jx
DeleteLove it but it did seem like a Dutch remake of
ReplyDelete… Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
Think of all the great things we would do?
… Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La-la-la-da-da-da
La-la-la-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Just saying !
Really????? That connection's not obvious to me. Unless you have found a version with Mary Hopkin rapping in Dutch? Jx
DeleteGordon (about to be beatified, I think) Bennett! I'll stick with the T.rex...
ReplyDeleteI thought you'd enjoy it, Dinah! Jx
