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.

so many faces come and go away
I don't seem to know them, I see them everyday
The streets and the houses never look the same
I don't know where I'm going, don't know where to stay
So this is another world,
it's a place just made for me,
and I would stay forever
if I had a place to be
Is it summer our winter, autumn or spring?
Are they flowers or snowflakes?
I don't know a thing.
So this is another world,
it's a place just made for me,
and I would stay forever,
if I had a place to be.
