Pingelepingelepingelepingeleponging as we speak, sweetie!

As we count down the hours to our sojourn to the magnificent city of Amsterdam this Thursday, what better way to kick off proceedings on this Tacky Music Monday than with one of our house favourites here at Dolores Delargo Towers, the fantabulosa Jasperina de Jong?

All together now..!

Wij willen geen nicotine, wij willen de mandoline
Van je pingelepingelepingelepingelepong
Picknicken is zo fijn
Niks pikken voor de lijn
Dat mag voor ons overbodig zijn

Jo met de banjo, en Lien met de mandoline
Kaatje met 'r mondharmonikaatje
Truitje met 'r luitje, je moet dat cluppie zien
Dol op een man, dol op een man
We zijn zo dol op een mandoline

Indeed.

Have a good week, dear reader.

Wij zijn dol op de bossen



Apologies to my regular reader for the lack of a "Thank Disco It's Friday" party-music post yesterday. However, having had to attend a family funeral in Portsmouth, I considered it less than appropriate to "go there"...

So, instead, it is "business as usual" here at Dolores Delargo Towers, as today we celebrate the birthday of one of our fave Dutch cabaret artistes, Missen Jasperina de Jong!

Here is a rare video of her performing a classic of its genre, a song we always sing when we're off to Amsterdam - De Wandelclub:

The pingelepingelepingelepingelepong you never realised you needed in your life


Yes! A Swarovski clog!

As the countdown nears its close, and we get ourselves together to pack for our middle-of-the-night flight to Amsterdam (I will be booking the taxi for 3am; gulp!), we need a bit more upbeat sing-a-long Dutch music to keep us going.

What better than one of our house favourites here at Dolores Delargo Towers, the fantabulosa Jasperina de Jong?

All together now..!

Van je pingelepingelepingelepingelepong



Continuing this mini-series on Dutch singers we know and love, today it's the turn of the vivacious and energetic cabaret and musical star Jasperina de Jong, whose De Wandelclub is an enduring Amsterdam sing-a-long classic, and a great favourite of ours....


And here's a wonderful selection of clips from her one-woman show:
