Doe Maar is a Dutch ska band with punk and reggae influences. Their career ran from 1978 to 1984 and they were one of the most successful pop bands in Dutch history. Doe Maar translates as Go Ahead or Just do it, a phrase mostly used in a deprecatory, sulky manner.
Doe Maar was formed in 1978 by Ernst Jansz (CCC Inc., Slumberlandband). Piet Dekker, with whom Jansz played in The Slumberlandband (1975) and The Rumbones (1977), introduced him to Jan Hendriks and Carel Copier, spring 1978, in the farm of Gé van de Donk, their later sound engineer. There are recordings from this meeting, on which they played, without any rehearsal, all the Dutch-language songs Jansz had written at that time. Copier came up with the idea of the name, after hearing the (never officially recorded) song Doe maar. When Jansz was asked to form the resident band of that year's Festival of Fools he added 5 more persons to the band: singers Truus de Groot (later Nasmak), Anouk Strijbosch and Wim van Oevelen (the later tour manager of the band), and clowns Mart de Corte and Jan Bogaerts. Afterwards the 9-piece line-up was again reduced to four: Ernst Jansz (May 24, 1948; keyboards, sax, percussion), Jan Hendriks (September 20, 1949; guitar), Carel Copier (drums) and Piet Dekker (bass). Meanwhile, Dekker turned out to be a songwriter as well. One of his songs appeared in 1979 on a sampler-album (Uitholling Overdwars) made up of new Dutch-language bands. They also released their self-titled debut on Telstar omitting the sampler-track Blozen (Blushing); along with the ska- and reggae-influences in Hé hé, Als de morgen komt (When Morning Comes), Regen (Rain), Je liet me staan (You Left Me), Er verandert nix (Nothing Really Changes), that later permeated their best known stuff, there were also punk, rock ‘n roll and calypso influences on this first album. The critics weren't impressed.

The Breeders are an American alternative rock band formed in 1990 by Kim Deal of the Pixies and Tanya Donelly of Throwing Muses. The band has experienced a number of lineup changes; Kim Deal has been the band's sole continual member. Their first album, Pod (1990), though not commercially successful, received wide critical acclaim. The Breeders' most successful album, Last Splash (1993), is best known for the hit single "Cannonball".
The Breeders' history began when Kim Deal, then bassist of the Pixies, began writing new material while the Pixies were touring Surfer Rosa in Europe with Throwing Muses. As neither band had plans in the immediate future, Deal discussed possible side projects with Throwing Muses guitarist Tanya Donelly. They recruited Carrie Bradley, violinist and vocalist in Boston band Ed's Redeeming Qualities, and recorded a short demo tape. Tracks on the demo tape included early versions of "Lime House", "Doe" and "Only in 3's".
With the help of three different drummers; David Narcizo, Mickey Bones, Carl Haarer and bassist Ray Halliday, Kim and Tanya completed their demo tape and subsequently played one show at The Rathskeller in Boston. They were not called the Breeders at this point, but were billed as "Boston Girl Super-Group". The band sent the tape to the English independent record label 4AD because both the Pixies and Throwing Muses were signed to the label. Upon hearing the tape, 4AD head Ivo Watts-Russell remarked "This is absolutely magical, beautiful stuff."
The Doe are an ethnic and linguistic group based in northern coastal Tanzania, in the Bagamoyo District of Pwani Region. In 1987 the Doe population was estimated to number 24,000.
Ik zal jou nooit vertellen
Hoe mijn hart breekt
Breekt bij een klein gebaar
Of een woord dat jij spreekt
Hoe mijn hart dan breekt
Ik zal jou nooit kunnen zeggen hoe mijn hart breekt
Als bij een klein gebaar of een woord dat ik spreek
Ik jouw hart ook breek
Blijven wij bij elkaar
Om eelt op ons hart te kweken
Blijven wij bij elkaar
Tot dat hart niet meer kan breken
Zal ik jou ooit
Kunnen zeggen hoe mijn hart breekt
Als door een misverstand
Er was niets aan de hand
Ik jouw hart weer breek
Zal ik jou dan
Vertellen hoe mijn hart breekt
Breekt bij een klein gebaar
Of een woord dat jij spreekt
Hoe mijn hart dan breekt
Blijven wij bij elkaar
Om eens dezelfde taal te spreken
Blijven wij bij elkaar
Tot het hart niet meer zal breken
Blijven wij bij elkaar
Om eelt op ons hart te kweken
Blijven wij bij elkaar
Tot dat hart niet meer zal breken
Blijven wij bij elkaar
Om eelt op ons hart te kweken
Blijven wij bij elkaar
Tot dat hart niet meer zal breken
Blijven wij bij elkaar
Blijven wij bij elkaar
Oh, blijven wij bij elkaar
