That may be because they're both about the absurdly large number of Belgians spending their holidays in Spain
We do have way too many songs about holidays in spain though (with the famous classic 'Eviva España being the most obvious one, and 'Valencia' even made it into a rejects podcast once) But also because the Saragossa song (that's not even spelled right) has become a favourite of alternative and hipster students, somehow, i could imagine the song you posted has a similar cult status.

Oh yes it does. It's Jean-Luc Fonck's best-known song as well.

Had the fortune of seeing Anna von Hausswolff (amongst several other interesting acts) over the Easter break. Would thoroughly recommend seeing her live to anyone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbP--RsNj70

Parklife by Blur turns 20 years old today. This Is A Low blows everything on the album out of the water IMO, and that's saying something considering that 13 of the 16 tracks are bloody awesome in their own right (I don't really like "London Loves", and you can't really count "Lot 105" and "The Debt Collector" are amusing instrumentals. )
Here's to another 20 years of Britpop.

What's the hype with 20 year old albums these days? 1994 seems to have been a year of very very good quality for music, looking back on it now. Altough i admit i'm slightly biased, because i'm much into nineties punkrock, and almost all these bands had their breaktrough album in 1994, and next week i'll be watching both Nofx and The Offspring play their 1994 albums completely live. Yeah, i'm getting used to the 'you know kid, in my days, this music was actually cool' attidude of attending music shows.

Well, most of the people my age nowadays were a kid at that time, and it was a year where a lot of great stuff happened that's easy to remember. It takes us back to a more simpler time. (At least for my generation anyways.) I found this video not to long ago that's pretty much my childhood in a nutshell.

I'll be saying that in about 6 years time about albums from the year 2000.
This is from an album that's not quite 20 years old, but it's still a great song.

This song seems to take on an added poignancy considering the 20th anniversary events of today and tomorrow. Hadn't really thought of it until I listened to it this morning, before realising the date.

Summer's sorted - got tickets to see The Libertines (and several other bands) in Hyde Park this July.
No idea how Ticketmaster didn't crash in the last 25 minutes, but it's all academic.

We didn't progress in Eurovision. Almost everybody i know agrees that we shouldn't have send the one we did, but this one instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F_t8cV_P64

Roberto Bellarossa did have my favourite song in the whole contest last year though - it deserved to do better.
The one i linked (and didn't get selected) went totally viral, and going viral is usually a good sign. It's not anything special, but it works in a gangnam-style kind of way.
Imagine being at a club or a rave in early 1994, and hearing this behemoth for the first time. Bloody hell.

Never heard it live back then but Ive seen them do it live after then a couple of times. Monster tune, as is their whole live set, a must-see-live-before-you-die band.
For me, Ready Steady Go by Paul Oakenfold is perfect Monaco music, the tune fits the thought of flashing through a tight city circuit with the walls flashing past with an immense pace. For those who don't know which song I'm talking about, it's used for the car chase scene in the middle of the brilliant film The Bourne Identity.

A nice cover to a song which I really like when I was growing up. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7JjTzKoupcI The band is Blood Of The Martyrs and it's a cover of The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars.

If you've ever wanted to go to Glastonbury, set some money aside for a ticket for next year. You will love it.
