Re: Team top40.nl

On this sixth day of July we'll pay some attention to the chart of 06-07-1974. A new entry at number 38 in the Dutch Top 40, the first one of his six hits, Tony Sherman -- Tonight.
Yes, that's the sleeve of the vinyl single:

Re: Team top40.nl

Neat music, Captain
but
no
Carol Beer devilish
and no new Base Campers arrived
in spite of looking in all nooks, crannies
- even in sheds in Horse**** Country in Southern California
I would have cried

- which only serve to make things even worser sad

Re: Team top40.nl

Do you think that Carol, taking care of business at the frontdesk, is scaring away our patien^H^H^H^H^H^Hfellow members, mevrouw Kleine Zeemeermin, min of meer?

We're returning to our hospital where Carol Beer is having a lunchbreak till two o'clock:
Part 4 - when a woman with her arm in a sling enters …

On this seventh day of July we'll pay some attention to the chart of 07-07-1973. A new entry at number 28 in the Dutch Top 40, a rock-'n-roll-band:
Long Tall Ernie and The Shakers -- Turn Your Radio On.
Shall we have a quick look at the sleeve of the vinyl single?

Re: Team top40.nl

'You're in luck! I found the complaint form .....'
Noooo, Adri, how should that scare anyone away?
The lady asked for a complaint form, didn't she?
Please say you have more Carol Beers up your sleeve praying
I for one like your retro music, too.

Well, I have tried to be the opposite of Carol Beer for a very long time,
and that hasn't helped one iota sad
Might as well return to being my good old real me devilish .... and give Carol Beer some competition cool


Do you have any advice as to boosting this entreprise further, Captain?
Perhaps we should just be satisfied with what we have - it isn't all bad, is it?

Re: Team top40.nl

On this eighth day of July we'll pay some attention to the chart of 08-07-1978. A new entry at number 29 in the Dutch Top 40, Massada -- Latin Dance.
Another delightful sleeve to add to our growing collection of vinyl singles:

While the lady is filing a complaint against the hospital with Carol Beer we'll be forced to get to a police station to get some other report filed. It looks as if it has something to do with our 'vehicle' and it may seem that our car perhaps got a little scratch somewhere, so let's see what is happening inside.

Re: Team top40.nl

Lovely music, Captain adriverhoef, and I must say that the Fry & Laurie sketch
is an excellent substitute for Carol Beer while she's off on a weekend trip smile
You do expect her back Monday morning at her service desk, I assume confused

As to the car it was OK right up to those two limp airbags … sad
I think my sentiments about airbags are very similar to those of yours about c*** coal are

Don’t you think those rags just look utterly pittiful?

Re: Team top40.nl

While I don't know if we'll see Carol Beer back at the hospital, let's go to a branch of our bank today and get some financial advice. There we are. Whom do we get to speak to? Our new financial advisor of course. Let's sit down and see ... hey, that's a familiar face! This is interesting, do we qualify for the Advantage Executive Premier Gold account and do we get free travel insurance included?

Mevrouw Kleine Zeemeermin, I have a question. Did you notice … did Carol catch anything at the hospital? I'm not talking about some fish, I mean something bad. worried Like a …, like a disease sick ?

On this ninth day of July we'll pay some attention to the chart of 09-07-1977. A new entry at number 18 in the Dutch Top 40, this group was a rock-'n-roll-band in the sixties and later on the band changed its repertoire to a more popular sound in the mid seventies by acquiring a female lead singer. The band is BZN and the song is called Sevilla.
Through the years they scored a fantastic lot of 55 hits (compare this to The Rolling Stones: 53 hits) and come in second after Madonna (57 hits), who actually had 55 songs ("Holiday" was three times a hit).
BZN actually stands for "band without a name" (Band Zonder Naam).
Here's the sleeve of the vinyl single:

Re: Team top40.nl

That Seville was OK
- in fact it was less rock'n roll than borderline Bierhalle … whistling

Yes, Carol Beer’s new job as a financial advisor has not done her good.
I noticed she had a slight cough at one of the former episodes,
and in one of them she came a little too close for comfort to being kind worried
Now, her cough has developed, and she cannot move her arms sideways any more.
nerd I have no idea what could cause those symptoms in this combination. Do you Captain adriverhoef?

Did you notice a new Base Camper: NiX Chix - joined our top40.nl 2.0 trek last night?
You have no idea how good it feels to have someone cross a number of canals
and jump right into our dry wetland meadow and pitch his tent and say he decided to trek with us!
And then he began to make conversation hugs all by himself love struck
It's like a piece of heaven

I look forward to seeing the challenge statistics
– it shall no longer be a secret that I have a secret dream about us passing Team Andrax …
– tanner2 promised to return – I have whole bag of pecks on the cheek for him. We shall not run out in any near future.

I happened to open the drawer with children’s songs this morning.
It sticks with me. I don't think your field of work normally goes this far.

Re: Team top40.nl

In the latest episode of our Carol Beer story we saw that she still had this strange cough that she seems to have developed at the hospital. Even Fry & Laurie are concerned about her: "Carol, how are you?"

On this tenth day of July we'll pay some attention to the chart of 10-07-1971. A new entry at number 29 in the Dutch Top 40: Focus -- Hocus Pocus.
This was actually the first hit version of the song. In 1973 a new version of the song entered the charts.
More info: Focus singer and composer Thijs van Leer tells the story behind their seventies hit Hocus Pocus. It turns out that Hocus Pocus started off as an improvisation.
The sleeve of the vinyl single is showing us this picture:

Re: Team top40.nl

shock some pretty advanced experimental stuff they made those Focus for that time and age.
Stephen Fry is such a likeable Carol Beer substitute smile
That Carol in the intercom is fake, Adri!
I remember watching a TV-series where he toured the USA in a London cab; it was a good one.
If it wasn't I would have forgotten it, I suppose ... it must have been the better part of 10 years ago.
You have chosen a nice theme rose for this trek - just as you did for the top40.nl without the 1.0
which it would have been called had we known what we know today.
The hotel theme.
Perhaps we need some food. We shall eat COLD food, nothing shall be charred shame on you
A picnic basket with bread from Denmark, stefada's Roquefort,
a selection of Dutch cheeses, and wine from California.

Green grass!
Ours in Denmark is thoroughly yellow and brown from the drought
and the grain harvest is busy, two weeks earlier than usual.
There are many implications for the farmers such as not having sufficient straw for neither the cows
who get slaughtered nor for filling the contracts with the district heating plants ....

Do you still have green grass in the Netherlands?
