Thuis ben - Hans de Booy

The English equivalent for the title 'Thuis ben', a song in Dutch by Hans de Booy, is 'Am home'. Not a very pretty title, but according to the singer at the time, it was the only good choice for the song, as these two words kept recurring in the lyric.

The single gave De Booy his second and last top 10 hit in the Netherlands, peaking at number 7 in January 1984. He kept writing and recording material, but subsequent records failed to chart.

My collection: 7" single no. 223
Found: Disco Market, Den Haag, 1983
Cost: 3,5 guilders
Tracks: 'Thuis ben' / 'St. Mère Église'
