International Music 9 - Golden Earring (Netherlands)


Being that my mother is Dutch, I should put the Netherlands up here. I will admit that I don't know much about my Dutch heritage. I don't even know if that's a good thing or not because I know so little about it. But every Euro and World cup, I wear my orange to support the oranje. I have also grooved to one of the most recognizable rock bass lines of all time, which happens to be Dutch.

Much like the Teddybears and Mad Cobra, almost everyone has heard this song. I say almost because they're always one who hasn't. Most people also but probably didn't know where it came from.

Most rock bass players around my age, I say most because there's always one who hasn't, played this riff when they were first learning bass.

It's also one of the greatest tunes I like to have in my car when I'm driving the open road.

Here's Golden Earring's "Radar Love."
