Weer een gegeven om trots te zijn als Hollander zijnde!

Opgedragen aan Ileana Gabriela!

[kurabunoyama]

they look so happy! i would be too if i were crafting such fine jams

[1976glm]

trés heureuse de revoir cette chanson au bout de tellement d années, merci you tube.

[NoMoreHighRise]

Top 10 track of the 80's, seriously folks, pretty much all the UK's New Romantic scene was a rip-off from this track, plus all the techno-house dance music that came after, this is truely a classic.

[bavarois25]

Eén van de beste nummers uit de jaren 80. bizar dat ze uit nederland komen. dit nummer kan zich meten met de beste nummers. surrealitische clip en coke-muziek.

[lalasvets1]

top ringard gay

[lalasvets1]

top ringard

[SimmonsDrums]

These woman is hard! :-)

[SimmonsDrums]

Crazy band :-)

[Utcheeow]

Maybe one of the best arrangements made in the golden eighties, the subtle guitar is just amazing!

[BobmixLemon]

@Utcheeow Agree...absolutely brilliant :-)

[SimmonsDrums]

Good drums Simmons SDS 5 :-)

[TooTallVal]

Ho cares if is gay, people should discuss the song and not the sexuality of the singer

[ttarik1]

@jakemears97 youre right great song!

[sigur83]

[itubeyourass]

Hmm if uwant to see how the Count Dracula looks like i advice u to google "Vlad Tepes" or "Vlad Tepes Domnitorul Roman" and see how the retards imagine that Dracula looks like.

[ronaldvanderkleij]

tja , jeugdsentiment leve fox the fox

[kalpal123]

Man what a classic :)

[bsoglobal]

Brilliant :) Thanks for the video :)

[thckrthnwater311]

this is one of the strangest and most incredible things ive seen in a while

[Mattyuk1]

I'm sure the bass is from the dx7, it almost sounds like the bass i've just been messing about with. As you may or may not know, the thing takes abit of time to program. The sounds are amzing when u get the algorithms set right.

[bubbiliciousHylton]

I followed a link from ss radio tuff n twisted and ended up here! Apperently used in a house track in 1 show

[buddner]

it only becomes apparent after about 10 views that they are playing to a group of 12/13 year olds. hmmm...

[buddner]

pretty great really. Sylhoutte is captivating. tried looking around for solo stuff she might have done, but found nothing. anybody know of anything?

[foxinho82]

Favolosa

[Jordo54321]

nevermind, after noticing how small it is, it's a dx7 lol

[Jordo54321]

anyone know what synths are being used?

I can recognize the minimoog, sh-101

what's being used for the chords etc, though?

an ob-x?

[FrankSidebottom]

Great tune.Possibly the ugliest band of all time!

Doesn't the lead singer play for Chelsea!!??

[Asodrob]

Lindo!

[maxxiss1971]

non me la ricordo ma bellissima canzone...

[odix4]

Io si invece...quando la mettevano in discoteca era un momento magico.

[Ian24L]

good song

[eltonitalo72]

SUPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[19Marah72]

Ah, wat een ge-wel-dig nummer dit van Fox the Fox, en leuke bijkomstigheid is, ze kwamen 'uut Grunn". Mooi om naar te kijken ook

[mzoesp]

Great video! Love when she hits the gong, they are all great!

[Suusantigoon]

Blijft een GEWELDIG nummer!!!!!!!!! dank hier voor :)

[TheRich58]

Een van de beste bands uit Groningen...jammer dat het niet meer bestaat

[ItaloBob81]

great video

[Geert365]

Looked this up because "somehow" i got on the wikipedia page of Modern Talking and there somewhere it says one of them stated the high singing he did, he did after hearing this band do it.

Inspired or copied or plagiarized, whatever.

I say "inspired by".

[aldojose00]

Q BUENA JEJEJEJ

[Gayboyofsweden]

Good memories my friend mark rammed the lead singer at a public toilett some years ago and he liked it

[tarzoom58]

video rare ! superbe post

i love it

[zikavelo]

C'est le coup de gong qui fait toute la différence...

[GrooveMasterItaly]

they were dutch

[Beakerinnetje]

Really?

[GrooveMasterItaly]

Dutch funkband, formed in 1981 by Bert Tamaela and Sylhoutte Musmin. While Tamaela was the band's singer, Musmin wrote his lyrics and Tamaela the music. In 1984 their only hitsong was 'Precious Little Diamond'. After 2 albums the band quits in 1990.

[Beakerinnetje]

Thanks for telling me. In 1981 I was only 6 years old and way too young to know this was from my own country (I'm Dutch) :-)

Really thought they were from England or Italy somewhere.....(blush, blush)

[Beakerinnetje]

Lead-singer = Bram Stoker Dracula....he ran away from a movie set :-)

[ROoooo80]

Little Boots loves this

[eva73able]

Die 80ger

super Disco Music !!!!

[eva73able]

Super!!!!!

[kdx75]

trop bon!!!!!

[KatyaCasio]

Her name was:

Sylhouette Musmin (or Masmin)... I don't think that it was her real name, rather her stage name, meant to be pronounced like the word "silhouette" . Quite clever, considering her eccentric, dramatic stage persona...

[HitchikersBlues]

I'd have no problem in playing that in a club today. plenty of base and Clarity!!

[HitchikersBlues]

I love some of the 80's club music. It's a shame i never got to experience some outrageous and intimate moments...Drugs Cocktails Cars and Mad Decadent parties.

[Beakerinnetje]

My God, they're ugly!

[WhyteLotuz]

made in holland LOL

[Beakerinnetje]

Italo disco...made in Holland. Yeah right.

[Nicollete22]

italo disco is a genre and not all of it made in italy duh!

[Beakerinnetje]

You're taking it all quite seriously, aren't you?

Reggae is a genre as well and it isn't all made in Jamaica :-)

[Nicollete22]

not unless you are :p

[Beakerinnetje]

I wasn't serious at all

[Psyroh]

I love so much to go back to 80's.

[Dadubois]

bOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

[kruff10]

i love this song but the singer looks like dracula

[xuanxusep]

True.

[Beakerinnetje]

Me too and he doesn't even look like Dracula - I guess he must be gay cause the way he looks and his voice as well :-)

Anyway he has a great voice and this song is great!

[xuanxusep]

Yes, looks a baroque vampir like "The Interview With The Vampire" movie. And was cool.

[euryuie]

"I guess he must be gay cause the way he looks and his voice as well :-)"?

It is (very) stupid to judge now that because someone looks in a certain way then, that he/or she must be gay/lesbian. It is even more stupid to think that because of the pitch of someones voice, he/she must be gay/lesbian.

If this nonsense was true, almost everyone was gay in the eighties, these kinds of looks and voice-styles were very popular.
