Vijf, Buiten Kijf! (album)

Vijf, Buiten Kijf! is a 1969 album by rock band The Dragons. Released along with the film of the same name, it was a huge commercial hit, their biggest success of their early period and up to the 1983 release of The Camel.

Background
The sudden success of The Dragons' 1969 album Olifanten and increasing fame within Brunant and abroad, even among English-speaking youth prompted Cactus Pictures to create a movie on the band, much in the style of Help!, Hold On!and Catch Us If You Can, much earlier releases by the Beatles, Herman's Hermits and the Dave Clark Five.

More directly inspired by the airing of, and success of band The Monkees' TV series, the band were persuaded to act in a drama-comedy about a fictitious version of the group trying to become successful. To go with the film, a number of new songs were needed, alongside some of their previous hits. Sebastian Collins and Dennis Neyt wrote a number of songs to be used, and at the behest of Cactus Pictures, Neyt wrote a few English-language songs.
