Ghent-based band - earlier under the name Things to Come - who shot to the top of the Belgian scene through their victory in the 1998-edition of the Rock Rally (a "battle of the bands" contest, which they won before Fence and Chrome Yellow). The trademark Das Pop are (what else to expect with such a name) pop-melodies and a sound that's close to Blur and Britpop. As Bent van Looy, the singing and painting drummer, describes it "There's a need for pure pop in Belgium. Our music is without pretence, but has to be clever. This has to be clear both in the lyrics and the music.

A Different Beat Lyrics

Das Pop

yeah
Another different beat
and I am back on my feet, man
It's in the air that I breathe
when I go out in the evening
I think you ought to know
you've got to let it grow, oh yeah
and you've got to feel what you feel
what you feel
what you feel
You're a modern man
come again
oh yeah
I know a beautiful boy who fell in love
with a great girl
I meant to tell you before
but you were never available
I think you ought to know
You've got to let it grow, oh yeah
and you've got to feel what you feel
You're a modern man
come again
oh yeah
Baby pay me
will you pay me well
Baby play me
when I ring my bell
Baby make me
do anything you tell
