De Toppers - If I Had Words (Toppers In Concert 2010)

[@donnaw9763]

I’m almost in tears. I have had this melody playing in my head for 46 years and just hummed it to Google and I finally found it. I’m so emotional right now!

[@janoshpbanosh7661]

Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78, Completed by Camille Saint-Saëns in 1886. Still a beautiful song I recon.🥰

[@A_M_638]

What the f.....I didn't know that at all! 1886, omg..

[@ireneyoung8696]

From the organ concerto by saint saen.Listen to it some time It is beautiful.

[@blancaalbercafontecha3304]

Donde puedo escuchar?? Gracias

[@susanweston6427]

Beautiful Interpretation and blend of voices. Such respect for each other in the performance!

[@peterknowles2344]

Great version and love all the white clothes.

[@sjcobra84]

The Babe film brought me here. Really liked it as a kid. I feel somewhat moved to tears. 🥲

[@valtymalefico8982]

No eres el único amigo .... Babe es mi película favorita, la repito cada cierto tiempo

[@markbarrow19]

It gets you like that don't it, I'm a 48 Year old bloke and it still makes me well up for fucks sake 😂😂😂

[@keithshackson7964]

What a beautiful version!!!! Superb singers and great to look at.Absolutely fantastic and my favourite version of this beautiful song.

[@A_M_638]

Written in 1886 can you imagine?

[@keithshackson7964]

Wow!! Now I didn't know that!!

[@lyndagroeger7306]

Love this song great version ,loved Scott fitzgerald version loved that everybody sings in English.will look out for more

[@jomiiller6297]

Love the Yvonne Keeley and Scott Fitzgerald version but this is fabulous and oh my beating heart he is just gorgeous

[@1966Hillman]

Discovered De Toppers today by accident, looking for “If I had Words” - instant “feelgood”! ABBA-meets-Liberace-meets-Paul O’Grady. Whether they’re musically great or just good is a matter of opinion but they’re GREAT entertainers. I'm smiling from ear to ear!

[@1966Hillman]

***** You'll recover... I can hear Kenny Everett's bearded drag persona, Cupid Stunt, declaring it, "all in the best POSSIBLE taste."

[@delaneyskerrett9104]

Same here. Wish we had something this fabulous in Australia!

[@kix2038]

original melody by Organ Symphony 3 by Saint-Saens

[@A_M_638]

You got it all right! They're an occasional band of Dutch singers - each having his own carreer - that form this group De Toppers and they give a big concert in the Amsterdam Arena once a year. You don't go there to sit and listen to a musical masterpiece, no no. You go there to party!

[@stevea.b.9282]

Same thing here, January 2022... this song for some reason breaks my heart. Nice version and so good to see so many people loving it.

[@lizscalzo2075]

Very entertaining I hope our school got some royalties from this concert. The original better of course especially on Top of the pops as I was there in the choir! 🎶😊

[@1966Hillman]

Two year on &, looking this up to play to a friend (actually, to illustrate the classics being "hijacked" & turned into pop hits), it STILL brings an instant smile of joy which won't fade until long after the final bars. Love the descent from the stage (4.21)! This vid' is the apogee of all that is joyous about "camp."

[@naomiotten1605]

WOW ! Karin Bloemen zingt super mooi, haar jurk is ook echt prachtig ! Een echte diva !!

[@17moonbeams]

Beautiful but it will never be as heart warming as Farmer Hoggett's version. 🐖🍏🍎🐺😊.

[@zakysax9529]

My heart with Hoggett's farm for ever...

[@dw69ful]

Which itself imo is not a patch on Yvonne and Scotts

[@ilike9368]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@gunzel42]

Morriston Orpheous Choir version is just as brilliant.

[@markbarrow19]

This is pretty close mind, there's no denying that!!!

[@lizhermann4964]

Might be a generational thing, but I like this version better. Much livelier and Karins' voice is spectacular ! They both compliment each other vocally very well !

[@tonytaskforce3465]

I'm really old at 65 and I entirely agree. This is better than the original by a good distance.

[@keithshackson7964]

Must fully agree about that!!!Superb version.

[@Raider577]

This is a cover of the original British version from 1978. The reason the lyrics are the same throughout is it was written for an advert in Britain but was rejected or not used so it was made into a record. Before somebody says anything I know the melody is based or taken from a classical piece.

[@gordontaylor4184]

I love the original. This is a good version, though it is really quite a simple song so it would be difficult to mess it up. I can hardly believe the number of people in the audience.

[@sandrobellinzis1088]

The Dutch people are great partyers

[@jurgenwielaard1750]

At the concerts in The Amsterdam Arena, a total of 180.000 visitors in three days!

the original was written in 1886 if Im not mistaking.

[@chrispearson3333]

Cover versions come in 3's, they either are (1) better, (2) just as good as, or (3) worse. It's a risky business. Thing is some songs lend themselves to covers, others are best left alone. This one, well somewhere between 2 & 3 I'm afraid. I'm being kind tonight.
