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.

Forever Lyrics

Das Pop

always understanding
very solid planning
not today and not tonight
and not tomorrow
just for the occasion
put a happy face on
tv off and maybe
we can fill the void
catch a phrase and make it
magnify and fake it
dream about the ones you'll be with
in the future
ever so annoying
get around to nothing
for nothing is
and nothing was
and nothing will be
we'll put on our own show
together or solo
we're digging our own hole
in the dirt
lemon and corona
girlfriend in a coma
try to
sleep it off
we'll always have tomorrow
stay inside forever
hiding the agenda
tv on and maybe
we can kill the cold
we'll put on our own show
together or solo
a video-window
to the world
not at all forever
it's so easy-going
here's a happy ending
nothing is forever
always understanding
very solid planning
not today and not tonight
and not tomorrow
just for the occasion
put a happy face on
tv off and maybe
we can fill the void
we'll put on our own show
together or solo
a video-window
to the world
not at all forever
it's so easy-going
here's a happy ending
nothing is forever
how to feel about the future
though we liked it so
in a desperate way
tell me all about the future
is it yours or mine
is it hard to find
for it goes to show
it's ahead of now
oh oh
