Dutch music

I don't know much about Dutch music since my time here... I mainly listen to a station called "Radio Veronica" (you can try it yourself here:  http://www.radioveronica.nl/player/radio-veronica)  and have developed an obsession with saying "alleen echte hits staan voor jou klaar" (Only real hits, are ready for you - or something along those lines)... it mainly plays English/American music with the odd bit of BLOF or Golden Earring thrown in (Dutch people believe these Dutch bands are really famous around the world but I would beg to differ having never heard of them before I arrived here) but I must admit, their stuff ain't bad!

However, the most entertaining aspect of Dutch music so far is their wonderful version of "Your sex is on fire" which in Dutch the lyrics are "Ik wil sex met die kale" - directly translated "I want sex with that bald man" (I kid you not) and this is a very popular song, I hear it on the radio a fair bit and during the carnival you couldn't escape it, it was blasting out from every pub on every corner for 4 days solid.

So... this is something everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy... here it is:
