https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTVnMO6cRfg No other song better showcases the Dutch outlook in the 80's - and is a rare example of pro-Belgian sentiment in the Netherlands, usually we just make fun of them for having awful roads and being dumb. It's essentially about the lead singer looking for a place in a world that is a gently caress and every country sucking poo poo. He's looking for somewhere to go and no country can meet his expectations. China, for example, is too busy; Chile is too scary - Pinochet was in charge of course-; and lead singer makes the rather prophetic claim that America doesn't really exist. 40 years on, the song feels incredibly outdated and one of the main singers has turned into a complete rear end in a top hat, but it's still just a fun synthy pophit. But what's even better is the English version, filled with rather strained rhymes and translations (they've even translated the name of the band!) and a clip that's 100% pure, compressed 80's. It's honestly so bad it's good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdi0aKM9rvc
