Gruppo Sportivo are a Dutch pop band, from The Hague, formed in 1976, who enjoyed some measure of international success in the late 1970s and 1980s. The frontman of the band, and writer of the material, is Hans Vandenburg.
Their first single was "Out There In The Jungle" (Polydor 1976), but the height of their career came with the two albums Ten Mistakes (1977) and Back to '78 (1978). They came to popularity just after the height of punk rock, but were regarded as more post-punk, veering more towards the mainstream pop.[citation needed] Their track "Dreamin'" off of Mistakes received much college radio airplay in the US. They were admired for their live performances, which had great humour and slapstick. Their most well-known song is "Beep Beep Love" (from the album Ten Mistakes), which enjoyed some success both in the UK and US. The UK's Radio & Records voted them "Top Newcomer '78". In July 2006, the Japanese girl band, Puffy AmiYumi, recorded a new version of "Tokyo", originally recorded by Gruppo Sportivo in 1978.

She asked me: do you like jazz? and I said no
No jazz, big band or dixieland, can beat the king of rock
'n' roll
I told her all about Elvis
she begged me to go on
I thought my hair was okay, but something else went wrong
My voice was going when I tried to sing a catchy Elvis-
song
She said: hey isn't that Jersey, Jack Jersey?
and put his record on
I said no, don't put that record on the stereo
I said no, you must have got me wrong
She said: gee, I'm sorry, would you please go on
I decided to rock her socks off, with a Jerry Lee Lewis
song
She said: hey, isn't that Ernie, Long Tall Ernie
And put his record on
I said no, don't put that record on the stereo
I said no, you must have got me wrong
I said no, don't put that record on the stereo
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
And the touch of a world that's older
Turn the switch and check the number
Leave it on, in bed I slumber
Hear the rhythm of the music
Buy the product, never use it
Hear the talking of the DJ
Can't understand, what's he say?
I'm on the Mexican radio
I'm on the Mexican radio
Dial it in, tune the station
They talk about U.S. inflation
I understand just a little
No comprende - it's a riddle
I'm on the Mexican radio
I'm on the Mexican radio
Wish I was in Tijuana -
Eating barbecued iguana
I'd take requests on the telephone
I'm on a wavelength far from home
I feel the hot wind on my shoulder
I dial in, south of the border
Hear the talking of the DJ -
Can't understand, what's he say?
I'm on the Mexican radio
I'm on the Mexican radio
I'm on the Mexican radio
I'm on the Mexican radio

My manager is very young but very wise
He says protect your teeth with daily exercise
For years he's eaten food he had to chew
He realized teeth have to work hard too
I scrape my teeth ten times a day
No matter what I eat I can't prevent decay
My dentist says John there's no doubt
You got rotten teeth shall I knock 'm out
I didn't shout hip hip hurray
When the dentist chipped my teeth away
He said don't worry son real teeth are out
You better be glad you're toothless now
No more toothaches no more cavities
Thanks to dental surgery
Just get yourself the final touch
Let me tell you that's a pair of
Dental castanets
It's a real wonder
His rotten teeth are out
Upper and lower
Johnny looks different now
It's a real wonder
His rotten teeth are out
Upper and lower
Hi boys and girls,

He went back to his roots
He realized six golden rules
six, five, four, three, two,
ONE, Lose a leg
TWO, Don't stay white
THREE, Remember blues is black
FOUR Go blind
FIVE Try to see

I stare at your window, when I'm passing by
Each day after diner, on my motorbike
I'm dressed in black leather, my head has been shaved
I look like an angel, baby I can not wait
To admit I've been wrong, Sally it may last too long
For my love isn't lasting forever
You see them everywhere, you know those magazines
Yeah I've bought a few, they show you everything
So many news stands, well as I'm passing by
Rows and rows of you bound to catch my eye
Now everyone can gaze upon your body
It's good for you, I guess you have no shame
I never knew if how I acted would make you seek revenge
Now I know, you're in magazines
But is it really you in the empty world?
I shouldn't be surprised, you're an ambitious girl
With all that naked skin as sweet as honey
Maybe you just really needed money
I wondered if I would be punished for my voyeuristic pleasure
Now I know, you're in magazines
Now I know, you're in magazines
Now I know
I tear through pages of every kind of pose
But it's not really you I see when I look real close
You're a little bit different, you're a little bit different
You're a little bit different
And now I know, you're in magazines
Now I know, you're in magazines
And I'm alone, you're in magazines
It never was you, it never was you

Well, your CD collection looks shiny and costly
How much did you pay for your bad Moto Guzzi?
And how much did you spend on your black leather jacket?
Is it you or your parents in this income tax bracket?
Now tickets to concerts and drinking at clubs
Sometimes for music that you haven't even heard of
And how much did you pay for your rock 'n' roll T-shirt
That proves you were there, that you heard of them first?
Now how do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?

The one he ruthlessly smashed at the end of the show?
And how much will he pay for a brand new guitar
One which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show?
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
As long as their soda cans are red, white and blue ones
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
As long
(As their soda cans are red, white and blue ones)
Oh yeah, oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, alright
Oh no aging black leather and hospital bills
Tattoo removal and dozens of pills
Your liver pays dearly now for youthful magic moments
But rock on completely with some brand new components
Now how do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?
How do you afford your rock 'n' roll lifestyle?

I held up pretty well
The first few days I even tried to dying
To get my mind off you
Friends said I look like hell
They said they snapped like that
If they'd been through
What I'd been through
They'd simply fall apart
Well, I am about to start
I never thought I'd break
I thought I could hang on till all the hurt
Had all run out
And I'd be fine
I guess I am not that kind
Not the kind to fall apart
When lovers go away until today
It finally hit me, you're gone
And now I am barely hangin' on
I never thought I'd break
I never thought you'd make me miss your face
And make me ache to hear your voice
But now I have no choice
I've always had the answer
You were my one mistake
Until the day we broke up
I never thought I'd break
I never thought I'd break
I never thought you'd make me miss your face
And make me ache to hear your voice
But now I have no choice
I've always had the answers
You were my one mistake
Until the day I woke up
I thought I'd do what I could judge
Until that day we broke up
She said, sorry but it's over
You can't stay with me no more
I've got another crazy lover
Pack your things and shut the door
I said hey girl, all I need is one more time
I said Suzy, baby would you be so kind
She said your nose is running honey
I said sorry, but it's not
She said I've got another lover
Nice to have met you, thanks a lot
I said hey girl, all I need is one more time
I said Suzy, baby would you be so kind
Turn me on I'm feeling down,
you're my only friend around
I want someone like you
You gotta give me one more chance,
I've got a rocket in my pants
I want someone like you
I said hey girl
Hey girl
Hey girl, all I need is one more time
Hey girl, all I need is one more
Hey girl, all I need is one more
Hey girl, all I need is one more time
One more time
Tokyo
Have you see the fires of Tokyo?
She lights them when you're sleeping,
She's slowing down your breathing.
And yes I love you, my Tokyo.
When will I see you again?
The fire burns and the daylight ends.
My Tokyo,
My Tokyo,
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you.
I've been watching you,
Through the windows,
Tryning not to fall.
I'll never leave you, my Tokyo.
The lights and sirens in my eyes,
The fire burns and the daylight dies.
I hear you calling, my Tokyo.
The traffic moves like blood,
Through my veins,
The night begins and I call your name.
My Tokyo,
My Tokyo,
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
When will I see you.
I've been watching you,
Through the windows,
Tryning not to fall.
I've been watching you,
Through the windows,
Now it's curtains for us all.
When I'm running,
I'm running to you
When I'm broken,
I'm borrowed and blue
You can't stop me,
You don't have the cure.
You can't stop me.
Have you see the fires of Tokyo?
Have you see the fires of Tokyo?
I've been watching you,
Through the windows,
Now it's curtains for us all.
When will I see you again?
My Tokyo,
When will I see you again?
My Tokyo,
When will I see you again?
My Tokyo,
