Belgian commemorative band. Leen, Linda, Leslie, Fred and Luke started the project as a 'one time' entertainment act in their re-enactment and collectors club. Soon they were asked by other clubs and organisations. Now, only one year later, they are the number one commemoritive band in Belgium with regular 'gigs' all over the country. This is their first video.

I think I've watched this 15 times this evening and have sent it in a couple of emails. This video is extremely entertaining. It has a rather surrealistic quality about it. The imagery is hilarious and bigger than life. Yet there is obviously a serious undertone to the theme as the song celebrates the liberation of the world from war. The MacArthur like lead singer steals the show, in my opinion. I sent the video link to a Filipino friend and included a picture and brief article of MacArthur's return to the islands.

This is the best version I've ever heard. One tip though: If the minor-key verse to this song is included, the shifts to major make this great tune twice as effective! Consider adding that to your performance and see how it goes over.

Love this video! I have to watch it at least once a day. Love the song even though it does not ring true in the real world. One thing that spoils it for me in the video, on the balcony there is an older shorter man putting his arms around a young woman's waist and she is smiling but it does not go to her eyes the smile and wish she had stood at the back and he was at the front. I love the little boy at the beginning going around and the group singing and smiling faces. The video lifts one up! Just the man on the balcony I don't like but try to overlook that! I bet he didn't ask permission to put his arms around her waist. Also, this is THE best version of this song! Well done to the group!!

@frisco21 2 жыл бұрын

_"...there is an older...man putting his arms around a young woman's waist...I bet he didn't ask permission to put his arms around her waist."_ From the costumes and celebratory music, I deduce this video was set around VE Day in 1945. It was socially acceptable at that time for men to take such liberties with women, and women, for their part, were accustomed to it. It's pointless to apply 2022 ethics to 1945 realities. Kudos to the producers for authenticity.

Most of the groups who try to imitate 1940s singers are terrible, this is one of the better ones. I love this song anyway, I know it was written for FDR's campaign, but to me it reminds me of the end of WW2. (Even though the coming years weren't going to be "happy" due to the Cold War, but still. Mitch Miller's version will always be my favorite though. :)

good job, but one little detail faux pas, your time line suggests WWII era (early 1940's) but your American flag in the background has 50 stars which didn't come to be until the late 1950's, there were only 48 stars on the flag during the 1940's

Thanks, Thomas. You have an eye for detail. We're just a group of Belgian amateur re-enactors. Some faux pas might indeed creep in. Hope you enjoyed the video.

If he’s still alive, I wish I could meet him and tell him he should really consider voting republican even though this is a democratic song. They shouldn’t get all the cool songs. I remember shortly after Clinton got in there, they were playing Yesterday’s Gone by Fleetwood Mac. Why not play something that good when a right wing president wins?
