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.

Baby Of Gold Lyrics

Das Pop

baby of gold baby of gold never grow old keep up that swing
you're always in look at my face losing it's grace will you
keep yours just to please me something to remind me by
to hold on to when I die baby of gold it would be a sin
losing that grin you're always in if you think of wars and cry
over love or passionate hate your beauty will fade
something to remind me by to hold on to when I die
baby of gold never grow old keep up that swing you're
always in girl of all nights the day is unkind there's guns
and typhoons the world is a wound something to remind
me by to hold on to when I die baby of gold never grow old
keep up that swing you're always in look at my face
losing its grace will you keep yours just to please me
something to remind me by to hold on to when I die
