It's driving me insane
I can't fake
For God's sake, why am I
Driving in the wrong lane
Trouble is my middle name
But in the end I'm not too bad
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Are you the fishy wine who will give me
A headache in the morning
Or just a dark blue land mine
That'll explode without a decent warning
Give me all your true hate
And I'll translate it in our bed
Into never seen passion, never seen passion
That's why I am so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
Trouble is your middle name
But in the end you're not too bad
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be
So mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad
(Intermezzo)
Give me all your true hate
And I'll translate it in your bed
Into never seen passion
That is why I am so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Hooverphonic is a Belgian band that was formed in October 1995. Though originally categorized as a trip hop group, they quickly expanded their sound to the point where they could no longer be described as a singular genre, but rather encompass alternative, electronica, electropop, rock, and a mixture of others. The band originally called themselves Hoover, but later changed their name to Hooverphonic after discovering other groups were already using the Hoover name and to avoid any legal issues with the vacuum cleaner company.
Since their formation, Hooverphonic's lineup consisted of bassist Alex Callier, guitarist Raymond Geerts, and various lead singers. Prominent ones included Liesje Sadonius (1996–1997), Geike Arnaert (1997–2008, 2020–present), Noémie Wolfs (2010–2015), and Luka Cruysberghs (2018–2020).
The band were set to represent Belgium at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam with their song "Release Me". However, on March 18, 2020, the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They instead represented Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with the song "The Wrong Place".

Comments using the term "derivative" drive me nuts. So what if it sounds like Nick Drake, Led Zeppelin, Mozart, or your brother-in-law?
Is it a good song? Do you like it? Does it make you want to howl at the moon, or does it make you want to sit quietly and contemplate the moon?
Nick Drake? The male, English folk singer who mainly sang with acoustic guitar? What are you on?
I am hearing Portishead.
Just curious: Which Nick Drake song(s) does this sound "derived from" to you? The chord progression (which is essentially an Andalusian cadence) doesn't sound like any of his work to me and the rhythm, vocal phrasing, and tempo are unlike anything I've ever heard from him. Maybe you're referring to the string arrangement or just some entirely different song? Was it something from his electronica/trip-hop period or were you just having a laugh? Anyhow, I guess everyone hears different things in music.
Much nodding by band.
"Let's pack up here and head home - I can take you back to your Hotel in my car".
More nodding by band.
Producer driving along the road when he suddenly hits the brakes and exclaims "There is a tree!" so they all jump out and the producer takes a Polaroid snap of band members standing in front of the tree and shows it to them.
"What do you think?".
Some disinterested shrugging of shoulders by the band.
"Right well that will have to do - see y'all next year same time same place".
Nice one :D

This would make a great James Bond song!
Perfect! It would! Now I cannot get that out of my head.
Music producer to band members after recording the final track late one Winter's evening... "So guys this album is going to be called The Magnificent Tree?"

Wondering how far down that road they had to travel to finally find one?
Both bands/artists I discovered (and love) through RP. Cheers Bill!
It just happened again!
Seems to have some glitches...
Yes there are burps - glitches - gremlins
Still like the song, even with the hiccups.
Sheesh, what was I thinking ? This is a BIG 9.
