Dutch Top 40 1995: Week 12

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

Gordon - Miracle (TV-Tune Love Letters)

It's Gordon again, the Dutch bloke we saw in the 2nd week who isn't really called Gordon and sings in English. This time he's singing the theme tune to a Dutch TV show with an English name "Love Letters" which ran from 1990-2005 in Holland. 

Ice MC - Take Away The Colour (1995 Reconstruction)

Well we've reached the point of the year where we're going to be seeing acts charting for a 2nd time. Ice MC was an artist already in the Top 40. To recap, Ice MC is a British MC who was based in Italy and had just one minor UK Top 40 hit to his name, but greater chart success on the continent. This is a remix of an earlier hit and features Italian singer Alexia who was yet to have her brief chart career in the UK Top 40.

20 Fingers ft Roula - Lick It

Yes that's right, 20 Fingers of "Short Dick Man" or the censored version "Short Short Man" fame had another record. They're not from Holland though, they're from America. Like their big hit and as the title might suggest, this has lyrics that are explicit. It would be the 2nd and final time they'd make the Dutch Top 40 but appeared to make more of an impact in Italy where this topped the charts and they managed to stretch their singles chart career to 4 records.

Danny Lukassen I.s.m Flair & De Ajax Supportersclub - Ajax Is Kampeon

You don't really need to speak Dutch to work out that this is a football record and that the English translation is "Ajax Are Champions". Seems a bit premature to declare that in March, but turns out they were unbeaten all season and whilst I doubt that they would have officially been champions by that point it seemed inevitable.
