Bend It!

[Marcelle]

As I'm Dutch i can fill you in with more info on the Cruiijff single:

 

Originally the 

Dutch version Oei Oei Oeo Dat Was Me Weer Een Loei was released in 1969. the
funny thing was that although the title could be about football (roughly
translates as o, o, o that was another hard kick/blow), the lyrics are not
about football at all (amongst others boxing), Cruijff performed it once on
Dutch television, being totally shy and just mumbling. (totally oppostite to
his usual behaviour which has always been full of flair)

On the recording they had to get him (slightly) drunk in order to dare to
sing at all (he was an awful singer).

 

When Barcelona bought Cruijff from Ajax in 1973 a Spanish version of the
song was made and that's the one on the Bend it compilation
