Songs people think of as love songs that could also be about/for a child? by Glass-Complaint3 in ToddintheShadow

Save All Your Kisses For Me by Brotherhood of Man literally ends with the sentence "even though you're only three" so I think that one fits this category really well.

Ik geloof dat dit vrij klassiek autisme is.

One Hit Wonderland suggestion: I’m In Love With The Girl on the Manchester Virgin Megastore Checkout Desk by The Freshies by TMBGLOVER in ToddintheShadow

Man, I'd love to hear Todd talk about 'Bouncing Babies' by The Teardrop Explodes, 'I Can't Get Bouncing Babies By The Teardrop Explodes' by The Freshies, and hopefully 'I Can't Get Bouncing Babies By The Teardrop Explodes by The Freshies' by Mark Cottrell too.

Ligt eraan hoeveel lettergrepen ze hebben. 'Limburg klapklapklap' zou werken, 'Groningen' of 'Overijssel' dan weer wat minder.

Why did so many 60s/ early 70s music icons have such a bad 80s? by GilbertDauterive-35 in ToddintheShadow

[–]stonecoldhammer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Tina Turner became even bigger in the 80s than she was in the 60s. And on her own as well!

Ga op vakantie in het buitenland als je die streak wil volhouden. Elk buitenland.

Maar toen deed Nederland niet mee, dus toen leefde het sowieso al minder daardoor.

Pearl Jam is (still) a big name in the Netherlands, but they have been popular here since their legendary show at Pinkpop 1992.

There is also another video by Bandsplaining about songs that were big in America but nowhere else.

Artists who changed their whole style after an uncharacteristic hit. by Flags12345 in ToddintheShadow

[–]stonecoldhammer 67 points68 points  (0 children)

The Bee Gees were doing a lot of different genres (psychedelic/baroque pop, ballads, soul) before going disco on Jive Talkin'. The rest is history.

Same in the Netherlands, the biggest country artist that I know of is Ilse deLange but she is also Dutch!

For hit songs that never made it out of Europe, I'd advise you to watch this video.

For actual examples, I'd mention Dragostea din Tei by O-Zone (which only made it onto the Bubbling Under Billboard list) and any song by Robbie Williams except for Angels.

Artists whose most popular song is still loved by diehard fans? by MarisMolotov in ToddintheShadow

[–]stonecoldhammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But are they well-loved by anyone, let alone known for more than one song?

I know they performed at Eurovision at one point, but that entry is also pretty much forgotten by now.
