[theSkYkAlEiDoScOpE]

1:56 lol

[BREN70S]

could do without the dutch val der doonigan at the start but it is a very catchy tune :)

[Schuldenbremse]

Sehr guter Song! Mir gefällt auch die "dutch" Version.

[AlonD321]

Nice! Have they more songs in Dutch?

[chrysa1987as]

excellent song !

deserved to be the first of course!

[DSVOP]

Peter Van Dam and I recorded this off the TV set in the Mess Room of Radio Caroline's Ship, the 'Mi Amigo'.

We both knew it would win.

After the Victory we played the whole gig, 'Live' during Simon Barretts show. and, on my Mi Amigo Breakfast Show, I played the song four times in the hour. Twice in Dutch and the rest in English

This song warms my heart, and makes my eyes water as I remember a special night.

[DSVOP]

The Frisians have told me they speak the original English, and, you know, if you listen carefully, Englanders can understand most of what they say.

Replying is the problem.

[cisco9x]

huh ?

[Eopyk]

Nah I would not say that but Frisiian is in general more conservative it is not like Old English for an example Frisian have lost the th sounds that have existed in English back in the Anglo-Saxon days.:) But Frisian is closer to how Old English was.

[katrus]

Anyone wanna translate the lyrics? :D

[sjohnsjakie]

tr.

it's been a while since my heart said ***, in the summer sun it went ***, tikketak all those hours, how long would it last, all those nights i've been waiting for you, the time has past. it's been a while since you said said i'm so happy, it's been a while since the churchbells rang ***, tiketak it would go on until you went away, all those nights i kept waiting for you, time has passed out. times getting on, before you know it you lost what you got from me but the hours i gave were timeless

[FlavioGirl]

listen to the english version. lol. :D

[Jomei2810]

The English Version Sounds Great But I Prefer The Dutch Version. A Very Good Performance Of A Timeless Song...

Josef From Germany

[sawbodude]

Tremendous! I've always loved the joyous simplicity of this song. Never heard the Dutch version before but I think I prefer it!

[johnbongo1]

This is the perfect pop song from the most perfect pop band. Everything else was a twisted corruption...

[tillieanne76]

I have never heard this in Dutch,it is charming,i wonder why it was changed to English.

They won anyway.

Good job Teach in.

[Beakerinnetje]

I love this track from the Eurovision Contest 1975! It's a good track, original and it's in Dutch. Last decades the Eurovision Contest is f*cked up by English tracks, money and totally NOT original anymore. I'm glad to hear in 1975 people were at least original and not focussed on being fashionable and the money. Teach-Inn, well done!

[jedforest1885]

I agree with you Beakerinnetje. Originality was the key. People did this for fun, not money. It was a great little song, I remember the 70s very well, when simple pleasures made people much happier than they are today. Ah well, guess we'll have to keep looking back to the past more and more!

[ElenavkM]

It's wonderful to hear this song not by English....

[iiiiiccccc]

You're right :-) I'm Dutch, are you German? I've been reading lots of German books lately... beautiful language :-)

[Trulyloyale]

quasimodopiccolomini  : I have the funny

suspicious that the Dutch are not that glad to read or hear about their own language to be similar to german language !

I'm quite sure the Dutch don't want any of their things , not even a pin , to be similar

to anything german !

And to tell you the truth I can't say they're

100% wrong ......;-)

[ZAngmaus]

Het beste songfestivalbnummer ooit geschreven!!

[averrol]

Wunderschönes Lied, macht richtig Happy ;-)

[tremayne3]

What about "Fly Away" ????????

[hethuisanubisfan]

a single of teach-in

[stevealexR1]

Best ever Eurovision song and better sung in Dutch!

[2009xenos]

Holländisch hört sich auch gut. Leider kann ich die nicht verstehen :(

[Jordisverige]

Is het lang geleden, is het lang geleden?

volgens mij wel ja. ^_^

[kyokat]

This is one of those songs that no one could possible keep from being stuck in their head. I like the english version. Probably because that is how I first heard the song. In any case You honestly have to love the song. It's got such a beat and something about it just makes it superb. I definitely deserved to win then and is one of my favourite songs now. Always will be. Simply because of the catchy nature and brilliant music!

[flikkertee]

"In het Nederlands vind ik het liedje echt zo veel leuker klinken". Precies!

In Dutch this song is such a wistful love song, on top of which the rhythm - as many acknowledge - is superb.

Een van de best uit Enschede, nee?

[Viconiuz]

Do the lyrics in Dutch make as little sence as they do in English, or is the Dutch version better?

[Yokailo]

They do make sense, but not that much ^^'

[Fleuriedeleeuwe]

echt leuk

[Fazza37]

Группа "Teach In" - несомненно, одна из лучших исполнителей 70-х, в своё время была довольно популярна в Советском Союзе. А услышать её хит "Ding a Dong" на датском языке было для меня неожиданно и приятно.

[Mager72]

на голландском

[KayleeLoves]

In het Nederlands vind ik het liedje echt zo veel leuker klinken.

[KillParadise89]

this song is great, one of the best eurovision. Its so catchy

[YPSILONZ]

It is indeed better in Dutch... like most songs are in their native languages!

[Yokailo]

Not any more ^^'

Nowadays Dutch singers more often switch to English =P

[IrishTwinDevils]

hallo :) goot yob

[Adpak1987]

Wie is de commentator?

[rklrkl64]

I actually prefer this performance to the one they did in the final (and not just because the Dutch version is a better song). The vocals seem a bit more lively and the lead singer actually does express herself a bit more than she did in the final.

It may be down to competing against Debbie and Albert West with the same song and having to do more than just stand there. I think the arrangement ultimately got them through - it's better than the angsty Debbie one and less annoying than Albert's.

[sameneen]

zowaar voor armoede misdaad oorlog macht is dit lied afz samen

[erikk73]

Bottom line: A good song is a good song.

Language doesn't matter.

[musicmixlover46]

yea your right.

its not about the language, its about the rythem and they way they bring it. :]

im fron holland, and when i listen to this song, its stuck in my head XD

[047396]

12 punts from uk

love this

ding a dong

[Mauuuaaa]

op mijn muziekvereniging(malletband, dwz, slagwerk,xylofoons, marimba's etc..)spelen we deze ook:D

dan klinkt ie een stuk leuker[a]

[arneso]

Awesome

[underdogg20]

Het is inderdaad lang geleden Getty...

[default1976]

The stage is much better than in the actual Eurovision song contest in 1975...

[kevinrombaux]

costaaaa!

[JohnnyDeppForever45]

I love this song, it is great in both languages but in different ways. It's really really good! =D

Btw, I think we stand no chance with Hind. It's a great song, and Hind sings it well, but there has to be more feeling and passion in her singing. If you look at where ESC has stranded now it is useless. If Ireland has to send a singing turkey... =P A few years ago someone came up with the song "We are the winners of Eurovision"... I mean, come on! It's just no REAL contest anymore!

[stevealexR1]

The best Eurovision song ever and as said elsewhere - better in Dutch...

[Televisionstudio]

This is a real festival song, and it even sounds better in dutch thats the origine of the song . Have Fun You All :)Now we have (Hind) she is the winner of the dutch idols contest. and she is a verry pretty lady with a great body and a great song the change that holland will win again is now verry possible with this buautifull lady. so watch for her on the 24 may in belgrade lolz You will love her i'm sure :)we wish her all the best Signed a Fan

[ricje88]

the best eurovision song everr

[flikkertee]

Yeah!! Have to agree with Anorak20! Gettie is geweldig! How gaat het met zij nu? Zing zij nog steeds, iemand?

[flikkertee]

Als een Ier die kan wel een beetje neerlands verstaan ik hou zo erg van dit grappig versie.

Aah the memories...I can well remember humming this on my way to school - in Co. Tipperary - and now I have a chance to sing it in even more fabulous Dutch lyrics! What a great song, what a great win!

[knobstick]

Ah, the 1970's when the boys in the bands dressed like cool fucnky spacemen and nobody laughed at them...

Was for years my fave Eurovision song, now second only to "We Are The Winners", and if you don't know that one stick it in the search bar!

[savinganne]

ENSCHEDEEE ;D Yay! Hij is gewoon geweldig!!

[Lardyarce]

yes best eurovision song ever

[Anorak20]

Fantastic! Thank you for posting this - one of the very best Eurovision songs ever. I watched the live transmission (when Teach In won the contest) with my parents in 1975 and loved the song straight away. Gettie Kaspars looks and sounds great. Where is she now and what doing? Anyone know?

[degooser2000]

Abba must thank god every night that this song wasn't in the Eurovision Song Contest a year earlier becuase Waterloo would not have stood a chance !

As an englishman,and a massive Abba fan, I can honestly say this is the best song ever to win the Eurovision Song Contest !

[Jontor11]

@degooser2000 And ABBA had more luck, the French president died, so the favourite song of France withdrew in 1974 just days before the contest. It sure would have been up there in the top 3 to stir things up.

But, in a way, ABBA's best luck was that they DIDN'T win the 1973 Swedish Melodifestivalen with Ring, Ring. They would never have competed in the same league as Anne-Marie David, Mocedades and Cliff Richard in 1973.

[KingLouisXXI]

Is 't lang geleden? Is 't lang geleden Dat mijn hart je riep met z'n ding-dinge-dong? Is 't lang geleden? Is 't lang geleden?

In de zomerzon ging het bim-bam-bom!

[Dennemark]

Lange Leve Nederlandse Muziek(wel die uit de jaren 70 he ;) ) !!!

[WithLoveFromCologne]

ik kende tot nu alleenmaar de Engelse versie maar de nederlandse is ook heel goed! Schitternd- Dank U wel!

[naomi444]

i love the dutch version, ik haat de engelse, hij gaat heel anders over!

[timonline2000]

Totally agree with you there!

[ashie259]

I've never understood why JG makes that stupid noise at the end.

[rcalliec]

finally, i've found the dutch version!!  yay!

[Mokum1961]

Willem Duys rules!!! Great presenter, p*sses all over today's wannabe's!

[Boludelkotur]

I like this version more than the english. ¡Cuántos recuerdos!Yo estaba entrando en la pubertad con mis once años y la escuché una noche por la BBC en onda corta...

[dazzledog6]

love it,happy,,catchy,never heard it in dutch,,wonderful. bring back happy music.

[swansafc1912]

This what music is allbout catchy sing allong song

[mancunian1234]

[sanvar123]

[mancunian1234]

laughing out fuckin loud,comprehend?

[linds3y900]

ik vindit liedje grappig xD

[blade0954]

dutch is a hard language to learn. most dutch speak good english. nice version

[jaybee61]

Isn't it funny that before the song won the contest, it was criticized, esp for its awful lyrics...and then all of a sudden everyone loved it! Let's be honest, there are many other songs the Dutch can be more proud of.

[spince1]

Catchy, but unbelievably naff!

[buenosdiers]

what is this??

[blauwbloempje]

A very nice song that don't get made anymore!

[florensvej]

GREAT song, slow version of Waterloo !

[TVBloid]

Slecht zeg, maar toch gewonnen

[xrt14fzd]

Als je niet hoort hoe brijant dit liedje in al zijn eenvoud is, mankeert er echt iets aan je gehoor. Denk dat er weinig numers zijn geschreven die pakkender zijn.

[legendsanne]

Nog steeds mooi! ^_^

[Syndication]

Does anyone have the Dutch mp3 of this song?

[mundsburgtower]

even after 32yrs, still a genius arrangement! i rather like to know what the band members look today like. any ideas, anyone here?

[ashie259]

Probably quite a bit older, I would guess... I'd rather remember them as they were.

[tcdehaas]

Staan ze nou in een ouwe Duitse bunker?

[TVBloid]

Vroeger kon je nog wel met zulke rare liedjes aankomen nu niet meer, kijk maar naar vorig jaar naar Treble

[jiwiedoewas]

Teach In en Treble zijn niet te vergelijken. Nerd.

[rufes77]

hardstikke leuk die oude opnames van Teach-In,zijn er toevallig nog meer echte diehardfans van hun en met name van Getty,neem dan even contact met me op.

[nicolettedeboer]

helemaal fantastisch thanx:p

[ashie259]

Helemaal fantatisch om dit weer te horen en zien - bedankt. Interessant - ik wist niet dat de zangeress uit Oosterijk kwam. Nog vijf sterren.

[ant259]

You what? Nice dress she's almost wearing.

[LadySmokey]

jah joh....

[LadySmokey]

Das mie PAPPIEEEJJJJ =)
