Dutch Top 40 1995: Week 1

These were the new entries in the Dutch Top 40 that never made the UK Top 40:

Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Wonderfull Days

Week 1 and record 1 is more or less where my love for Dutch music began. I'd only just converted to being a raver and was very much learning what it was all about. A mate did me a happy hardcore mix and this was one of the stand out records on there. I had no idea what it was at the time, once I discovered it was Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo I knew of other tunes of theirs and knew they were Dutch. What I didn't know until many years later was the it was a Dutch number 2. It's had numerous remixes over the years, the one I'm posting here is the one which appeared on that tape which is labelled on YouTube as being the "Good Version". 

Talk of the Town - The La-La Song

It's called "The La-La Song" because La-La are pretty much the only lyrics to it. At least you don't need to speak Dutch to understand it. Very much a novelty record and one that becomes irritating once you get past that novelty.

Rene Froger - For A Date With You

Out of all the records featured so far I think this is the one you're most likely to hear on Eurotrash. It's a 34 year old Dutch singer doing a Eurodance record. 

Definition Of Joy - Stay With Me 4 Ever

This is essentially a project of 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor who had already had a Dutch number one. This was the only thing they appeared to do as Definition Of Joy.
