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.

Sing Song Lyrics

Das Pop

mellow fruit
shining in the display
make a move
dancer with the turnstile
in the row
waiting for a number
it gets a little sing song
I'd really like to move on
ready?
go
this car is like a stallion
before you know
we'll end up in a mansion
years ago
when we were only children
it seemed a little sing song
before we got to move on
ever since we changed direction
there is reason to believe
that the ones you call your friends
are only here because of me
and the blisters on your soul are bound to heal
love of my life
you hold me like aforetime
it feels so cool
when everything is normal
in the row
waiting for a number
I'm sorry if I missed you
I wouldn't want to lose you
ever since we changed direction
there is reason to believe
that the ones you call your friends
are only here because of me
and the blisters on your soul are bound to heal
