Even for foreigners the Dutch single 'Ongelofelijk' ('Unbelievable') is easy to follow: the only lyric in the song is the title plus the phrase 'Het gaat maar door' ('It just goes on'). Makes no sense to you? Well, most Dutch people didn't understand this either, which is why it didn't reach the chart. Personally, I am rather fond of such nonsensical tracks.The B-side, which is a lot more wordy, is equally nonsensical: it's about a man who wonders about his own sentimentality when he thinks back with shame about the time he met a man on the market who was offering him the fish he had been eating, as he didn't want the rest of it: he turned him down.

Mooi nummer dit. Leuk om al die singles terug te zien,bijna allemaal uit de tijd dat ik ook singles kocht. Ik heb ze nog allemaal staan,velen zijn nooit op cd uitgebracht. Het blijft leuk om ze te draaien.
