This is a 1980 clip from the Dutch TV show TopPop, with Diesel lip-synching to their soon-to-be hit "Sausalito Summernight." The lyrics of the song are so American that few listeners knew the band was Dutch. When I learned that fact many years ago, it made me feel better about how they made "summer night" into one word. It wasn't until yesterday that I found out the original title was spelled "Sausolito" and corrected for the US version.

You just keep digging these up, Miss C- and I'll just keep smiling!
A long time since I last heard that one. And, the fun fact of where they came from!
Thanks, Miss C- have a great day!
I've never heard that before. I wonder if it was a regional hit?
Sort of. It made the top 40 in the US, but wasn't all that popular in California. It didn't do well in the Netherlands at all.
Catchy tune, either way!
