Luv’ - Greatest Lover

After writing about George Baker and his song Una Paloma Blanca (an awful song that took the non-English speaking world by storm), i promised to write about Dutch music ensembles. To be precise Dutch music ensembles that almost got me to commit suicide, because i could not stand hearing their moronic tunes over and over again on the radio.

A promise is a promise, so here we go.

Luv’ was a girl band that was succesfull in the years 1977-1981. The band had three members: Patty Brard the pretty exotic girl, Marga Scheide the pretty blonde girl and José Hoebee, who was the only one of three who could actually sing.

I guess that the video speaks for itself. The song is moronic and the “choreography” laughable. The inventor of Luv’ is Hans van Hemert. Hans van Hemert is one of the producers that defined the musical landscape in the Netherlands. That was great for him and a catastrophe for everyone else who loves music.

At the end of the video we get a glimpse of heaven, because the next song in the show is Man With The Child In His Eyes by Kate Bush. I’ll get back to her tomorrow.

Are there any Cloggies out there who knows at which show this video was recorded? Top-Pop? Countdown? And who is the hairy scary presenter?

Update: After listening to the video again , i realized that the show was Tros Top 50. So i guess that the hairy scary presenter is Ferry Maat.
