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.

The Human Thing Lyrics

Das Pop

wake up to the distant noise of dirty dogs and teenage boys
and still there's nothing
modern days are on the rise
watch the european skies tonight
this is the human thing
let's just get out of here
stop being interesting
let's do the human thing
did your computer give you good news about your life ?
'cause you deserve it
you never got the human thing
commiserate with anything
nothing special
you need to need
or so they say
you have to feel
you do these days
this is the human thing
let's just get out of here
stop being interesting
let's do the human thing
let's do the human thing
let's do it twice a week
baby, we're ravishing
let's do the human thing
write about the things you know
you catch it all on video
all the time
you need to need
or so they say
you have to feel
you do these days
this is the human thing
oh let's do the human thing
(let's het out of here)
this is
this is the human thing
