15 Points Per Correct Answer - No time limit  

1. Hoe gaat het? We had a cult hit with "House of the King", (sounding a lot like Jethro Tull). Eventually, we had an international hit with "Hocus Pocus". Our name sounds a little like that last title. Who are we? Joke's On Us Locus Focus Toke Us

2. Hi! We're from Delft, Holland. We had a big hit in 1969 that incorporated English and French. Somehow, the title doesn't quite ring a bell. Anyway, my friend, it was our only U.S. hit and if you know the name of our group, we'll let the bells ring, let the birds sing. Merci. What's our name? The Tee Set The Dutch Teens Teagarden The Colossal Teens

3. Hello, all! I'm Barry Hay, lead vocalist of this group. We did pretty well in Europe with "Ding-Dong-Di-Ki-Di-Gi-Dong". Later we opened for The Who and eventually recorded on their label. Our second biggest hit was "Twilight Zone". Who are we? The Gold Bugs The Brass Ring Golden Earring Ring of Fire

4. I'm Austrian, actually. The name is Getty Kaspers. But I fronted a Dutch pop group that made a big splash across Europe after winning a Eurovision song contest. Our big hit was "Ding-a-Dong", but we also did well with "Ride in the Night" and "Robot". To North Americans, this may be a hard question, but who are we? Love In Happenin' Be In Teach In

5. We will be anonymous here due to the nature of our group. It's hard to name a Beatles song that we didn't weave into a medley. We hit number one with a bunch of the Fab Four's tunes in 1981. We kept up the medley idea through at least three very successful albums. We shone bright for awhile. Who are we? Stars On 45 Starbucks Starland Vocal Band Star Star

6. Greetings! We are Cornelius, Kassje, Robby, and Mariska. Not as recognizable as John, Paul, George, and Ringo? You must remember us singing the lyrics "She's got it, yeah baby, she's got it" from the 1969 worldwide hit "Venus". Do you know who we are? Blues Image Electrical Banana Pink Elephant Shocking Blue

7. Hi! I'm Nelleke Brzoskowsy I was not around for this Dutch group's "Little Green Bag", but I contributed the main vocal years later for the very popular "Una Paloma Blanca". I'm glad I was selected! Can you recall our group name? Ginger Baker's Selection Natural Selection The Juke Box Selection George Baker Selection

8. How do you do, Haarlem calling! We are a guy and gal who sang separately until we were teamed up by a producer from the Dutch Philips label. A hint has already been given as to our biggest hit. Our second hit, also in 1972, was "Hey, You Love". Can you guess who we are? Ears and MacGuinness Willem and Maggie Mouth and MacNeal Sjonkje and Duyn

9. Hey, don't forget the club/dance crowd. I'm Judy from the Netherlands. I mix and sing up a storm. Along with my cohorts, we became so popular in Europe with "Better Off Alone", and "Back in My Life", that a new name was called for. Now I am known as: Alice Deejay DJ Rap Sasha Kalmani

10. Below are paired the highest and lowest U.S. charting hits from Holland. Which two titles are the correct songs in question? Highest first, lowest second. Ma Belle Amie/Radar Love Radar Love/Venus How Do You Do?/Hocus Pocus Venus/Little Green Bag
