These were the new entries in the Dutch Top 40 that never made the UK Top 40:
Sugar Lee Hooper - De Wandelclub
As I don't speak Dutch it's hard for me to tell if this song is supposed to be a novelty hit or not. As I was intrigued I translated the lyrics and they're certainly odd. Sugar Lee Hooper was a singer who was in her late 40s at the time and she was bald and wearing some bizarre clothing. She passed away in 2010 so never got to witness the weird looking singers of the modern era.
Herbie is a British artist whose only UK Top 40 hit as an artist was featuring on "Gotta Be You" by 3T. He has however had plenty of success as a songwriter writing hits for 5ive and Backstreet Boys amongst others. He was one of the Cherion Studios songwriters in Sweden that was started by Denniz Pop and continued by Max Martin and basically took over the songwriting side of modern pop music. This is a Eurodance record with Herbie rapping on it.
Irene Moors & De Smurfen - Waarom Doe Jij Nooit Gewoon - Hela Hola
The Smurfs are back with Irene Moors, but this didn't match the success of their "No Limit" cover. They're singing and rapping in Dutch, but it almost sounds like they're trying to do "No Limit" again. It may be a cover of a Dutch record I don't know, can't find anything else with the same title though.
