What a pity these Dutch could not develop their success the way ABBA did. They won the Eurovision contest in 1975 to sink into oblivion in 1980.
But Teach In‘s (still have no idea what they meant by this crazy name) “I’m Alone“ and “Ding-a-Dong“ are the ones to refresh in our memories and to whistle again and again. Especially when the love is knocking at anyone else’s door, but not ours.
“Ding-a-dong
Every hour
When you pick a flower
Even when your lover is gone, gone, gone…“
“And it seems like yesterday
We were together every day
Now that time has passed away
And I’m alone…”
