Dutch Top 40 1995: Week 38

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

C'est Tout & Anthonius Hapt - Da Tandenborstel Jive

Here's some more Dutch carnival music but this time no words are sung and it's something quite familiar. Although not exactly the same version, this used to get played on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show on Radio 1 as one of his radio jingles. I had no idea at the time that it was Dutch or even anything other than a radio jingle.

BZN - Santo Domingo

BZN were a band who were huge in Holland and virtually unknown elsewhere. Their Dutch Top 40 career spanned from 1968 to 2007 when they called it a day with the appropriately titled "Goodbye". What threw me when they started singing was that they were singing in English as I was fully expecting it to be in Dutch. It's the sort of music you'd expect to hear at a holiday resort.

Scooter - Endless Summer

This will be the last we'll see of Scooter this year. They did chart in the UK in 1995 but not with this one. Quite fitting for it to be released at the end of the summer and in my opinion this was one of their better records.
