A question about Bløf & Counting Crows - Holiday in Spain

**Cid Highwind** · July 1st, 2004, 19:45

Perhaps some of you know the band 'Counting Crows'. Well recently a new song of them was released in Holland: Holiday in Spain. This song was made together with Bløf, a dutch pop-rock band. It's a mix between the English language and the Dutch language, and IMO it sounds very good. Does anyone of you know this song, or know if it has also been released outside of Holland? And if you know the song, how does the Dutch part sound to you?

Bløf Pop-Rock?

what ever happened to Nederpop?

Anyway, the whole song sucks imo, silly dutch and their language. It would suprise me if they even knew what they were singing themselves.

But seriously: I never really liked Counting Crows in general, not my style.

Yeah I totally forgot, but naming it Pop-rock, ppl from a different country might get the idea what it sounds like.

Well I really hated their previous song, about that parking lot or something, it got played on the radio over and over again.

But at least the Dutch language doesn't sound as evil as the German

Hehe. Perhaps the deutschlanders think the same of our language.

I have Holiday in Spain by the Crows, but it don't have no dutch in it.

>Well I really hated their previous song, about that parking lot or something, it got played on the radio over and over again.

You mean Big Yellow Taxi, featuring Vanessa Carlton. The lyrics you are referring to are 'They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot'. I think it's a superb tune.
