De Kievers Investigation
learns that there must be just over 100 dutch language covers of The Beatles.
Most of them aren’t serious, but were just made to make a fun song on a
wellknown melody, or sail along with the Beatle mania. Except for
Wim Kan’s Jelle Sal wel Sien (Yellow Submarine) of which were made several
covers by other artists none of them did very well in the hit charts and most
of them were soon forgotten. I’ve put in some recent covers like Hans
Teeuwen, Van Dik Hout and De Vliegende Panters too |

Hans
Teeuwen – Yesterday / Let it be From his theatre show Met een Breierdeck

they all sound so familiar. That’s why I’ve made some complete new
adaptations” (Mixed with the intro of Rubberen Robbie - Pindakaas) |

the last single they released. It couldn’t however compete with the version
of Billy J.Kramer & the Dakotas,
that was a gigantic succes in The Netherlands . The translation was by a certain Lodewijk Post, who turns out to be the wellknown Dutch lyric writer
Gerrit Den Braber |
