ja, en die John Dowie had ook nog een song met de chorus "I Hate The Dutch"!?!
John Dowie kwam in contact met Tony Wilson (Factory Records) in de jaren 70 toen Tony een live TV show had (So It Goes) - Dowie zong zijn song British Tourist live op de show van November 1977 - hieronder de lyrics!
Voor een live uitzending in de eind jaren 70 was dat wel een beetje contraversial. Maar de hele show (uit Granada studios in Manchester) was revolutionary op live TV gebied - dezelfde show was ook verantwordelijk in 76 en 77 voor de eerste live optredens op TV van o.a. Sex Pistols, The Jam en Siouxsie & THe Banshees!
net uitgezocht, hier de lyrics van zijn song British Tourist:
"I Hate the Dutch" John Dowie [1977, EP "Another Close Shave"]
[Lalalala - Dick van Dyke]
I'm a British Tourist and I'm very, very rude.
I hate the stinking foreigners
hate their stinking food
I don't like French or Germans
I don't care for Belgians much
But worst of all worst of all
I hate the Dutch
The Dutch, the Dutch
I hate them worse than dogs.
They live in windmills
and mince around in clogs.
They don't have any manners
They don't say 'thanks' or 'please'
all they eat is tulips
and stinking gouda cheese...
I'm a British tourist with a countenance severe
I love to strike the foreign type
And box their poxied ears
But there's one woggy dago
I cannot bear to touch
The slimy crawling
stench appalling
snotty grotty Dutch
The Dutch are mad
Their fingers stuck in dikes
They use the wrong side of the road
And ride around on bikes
They don't have any manners,
don't have any brains.
There's only one race worse than them
and that's... THE DANES!
