Ik ken de band (vond de zanger wel cool toen), maar het nummer is mij onbekend.
voor de fans nog zeker ook een bekend nummer, maar minder bekend dan spin me round
Het liedje kende ik niet. De band wel. Even gegoogled naar de naam van de zanger, blijkt dat hij in 2016 is overleden.
ja de geschiedenis van de zanger staat in de tekst, is aanklikbaar en inderdaad hij is in 2016 helaas overleden.
