    I feel like this was a pretty famous song at some point? My dad still occasionally sings some notes of it.

      Yes. According to the Wiki:

      Yes. According to the Wiki:

      Later that year, he teamed up with the popular Dutch band Het Goede Doel to top the Dutch charts (#1 for three weeks in 1989) with Alles kan een mens gelukkig maken (Everything can make a man happy). A song for which in particular the refrain starting with Een eigen huis, een plek onder de zon (A private home, a place under the sun) morphed into a community sing-a-long evergreen.

    No luck finding it anywhere else, either. No song.link page, nothing on spotify, etc. :(

          Alles Kan Een Mens Gelukkig Maken is the second title of the song, and René Froger is the singer. Here is a link to another upload on YouTube. Obligatory “Fuck Copyrasty” comment.

              Funny that you mentioned Eurovision, since René Froger actually performed at the Eurovision 2009 in Moscow. (He's the curly guy in the middle.)

                LOL... goddamn I love Eurovision. It's so insanely, over the top, cheesy. It's the music equivalent of a low budget B movie; so bad it's good.

                  I have a two-hour-long playlist of my favourite Eurovision songs, and I mostly agree. Where else can you see a Fabulous Dubstep Dracula?

                    I even have a Studio version in a playlist too, since I like it so much:
