AI and DenTheMan Are you also so afraid / Toontje Lager - Ben jij ook zo bang

This time a song by the Dutch-language pop group Toontje Lager, The group scored a number of hits in the early 1980s, including *Stiekem gedanst*, *Zoveel te doen*, and *Net als in de film. Keyboardist Bert Hermelink wrote by far the majority of the songs, including the track we chose to transform into a different version. The song "Ben jij ook zo bang / Are you also so afraid" (from 1982) deals with the 'doom-mongering' prevalent at the time during the severe economic recession and the rise of new technologies. For the AI ​​experiment, we added a verse that addresses a topic prevalent in many countries: governments want you to work longer before you can retire, which increases the risk of dying before you can enjoy your well-deserved pension. For governments, this brings the advantage that they no longer have to pay out high pensions to the benefit of pension funds and the government. However, this extra verse took up some extra time, meaning this song now lasts almost five minutes. --------------------- I make AI songs for fun, to experiment, and to explore the limits of the possibilities. It is possible that I may use lyrics from existing artists in an adapted form. This is purely a hobby and I do not intend to earn money from it, but I would appreciate it if you liked or shared the videos/music and subscribed to this YouTube channel. Kind regards, DenTheMan
