Thank you for posting. I have seen this video only once some 25-30 years ago. This is originally a dutch song called België. This english version should have been the international break thru for Het Goede Doel / The Good Cause........ the still sing (only) dutch and the rest of Europe don't know what they have missed.
I`m glad to see this song available on UA-cam. I remember I had it on a cassette in the mid eighties, and used to play it over and over again. The technical quality of the song is quite terrible, and it sounds amateurish. But the melody is good, and the text is very amusing. And they`re right, "the beer is deer" here in Scandinavia (Norway). But at least that`s better than to disappear in Russia :) Thank you 25Klaus!
너무 너무 너무 좋습니다! 전 이 노래를 멜로디로 기억 속에만 갖고 있다가 흥얼거리는 노래 검색으로 40년만에 이 노래가 벨기에란 노래라는 것을 찾았습니다. 그런데 처음 찾은 벨기에란 곡이, 내 기억 속 가사와 너무 달라 놀랐네요. 내가 이렇게나 잘못 알고 있었구나 싶었는데 곧 영어로 된 곡도 찾았어요. 이게 내가 기억하는 노래와 정확하게 일치했습니다! 40년 만에 제가 너무 너무 너무 찾고 싶던 노래를 결국 찾았습니다. 감동입니다! 멋집니다! So so so so so good! I only remembered this song as a melody. For a whopping 40 years. Then I was finally able to find the song on UA-cam search! After 40 years, I found out that the title of this song was Belgie I found the original song first. But I was surprised because it was so different from the lyrics I had in my head. I thought I was really wrong. But I found out that there was a song in English. And this song matches exactly the song I had in my memory. After 40 years, I finally found the song I was so desperately looking for. I'm impressed! Awesome!
The original version, which is in Dutch, has Belgium instead of Luxembourg. But because the Dutch word België has one more syllable than the English word Belgium, they chose Luxembourg. It has the same amount of syllables as België.
@@IROCMAN666 apparently they were inspired by another musical artist at the time who had great success making an english version of one of their songs. Well, that's what Wikipedia says anyways.
It’s a failed attempt to break through internationally. This version flopped immensely, especially when you compare it to the dutch version of this song (België (Is er leven op Pluto!?)). They stuck to releasing their material in Dutch only afterwards. For English readers: you won’t find their material under “The Good Cause” on streaming services or UA-cam, as this was the moniker the band chose for this English release only. Their Dutch name is “Het Goede Doel”.
Nederlands: BELGIEEEEE
Engels: Can't go to Belgium, it doesn't exist
😂😂

The Dutch original is much better!
Why have I only just now realised there's an English version 🤣🤣 genius
너무 너무 너무 좋습니다!
전 이 노래를 멜로디로 기억 속에만 갖고 있다가 흥얼거리는 노래 검색으로
40년만에 이 노래가 벨기에란 노래라는 것을 찾았습니다.
그런데 처음 찾은 벨기에란 곡이, 내 기억 속 가사와 너무 달라 놀랐네요.
내가 이렇게나 잘못 알고 있었구나 싶었는데 곧 영어로 된 곡도 찾았어요.
이게 내가 기억하는 노래와 정확하게 일치했습니다!
40년 만에 제가 너무 너무 너무 찾고 싶던 노래를 결국 찾았습니다.
감동입니다! 멋집니다!
So so so so so good!

It's so funny how they switched from Belgium (original Dutch lyrics) to Luxembourg (English lyrics). I prefer this version.
3:28 didn't get the memo :D
Die EBU = European Broadcasting Union, ein zusammenschluss der Europäischen Fernsehanstalten, die veranstalten ua den Eurovision Song Contest
Im here because somebody sended the link of the Video In the Wolrd of Tanks General Chat
Anyone got the lyrics of this English version?
nooit gezien vet!
Hey Folks, i am from Luxembourg and I wanna know how you came up with the lyrics. But very funny song indeed :-D

Why does deutschland sound so much better than Germany?
Funny how they mention Germany as Deutschland here. 😂
I begg you pardon? Why Luxemburg instead of Belgium?
@@phybeats21 😦😰😥
probably because "België" has 3 syllables, while "Belgium" usually has 2 syllables
BEL-GI-UM , would be silly & Luxemburg is mostly harmless
Belgium DOESNT exitst
They have a duke
Entschuldigung! Was ist die EBU? Charmantes Lied!
staffancozmige what does the EBU have to do with this song?
This song is fantastic to learn english.
Is it a parody, self derision to "Belgie" ?
It's actually the same people that made it
@@roebandoevonk Yes, I know.

pffff
there's a noise att 25 s - remove it!
I removed it. Search UA-cam for Luxemburg good cause and you’ll see the corrected one with better audio.
