Someone played me that Magazine 60 track about 12 years ago, and they were absolutely convinced that it was The Beatles, since that's what Limewire or whatever P2P network they were using labelled it as.

They had the same garish backdrop for Matia Bazaar's amazing Ti Sento:

They dgaf about epileptics apparently. This is a super-simple but memorable one:

A few more videos and a write-up here:

Never heard "Seven Deadly Finns" before, it's amazing! And an unneeded reminder that "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is awful shit (the song & performance). Dutch TV also loses some credibility for failing to give airtime to Kevin Keegan C/ D

Finally starting to realize what this show was.

I'm so glad this thread exists, I've been a keen subscriber to this channel for a few years and I love watching crazy Dutch bands from the 60s/70s, horrible 80s pop, and New Wave.
