There once was a German song by the band Haindling, called Lang Scho Nimma G’sehn. This song never was a real hit in Germany, it made number 33 in 1984. It was never a hit in the Netherlands, but everyone knows the music of the song. It was used by Herman van Veen in his song Hilversum III, which had a Dutch text written by Willem Wilmink.
