   Mothers sang Sofa in dutch once when in the Netherlands. It can be heard on   
   the boot Vitamin Deficiancy. Vloerbedekking is the German fussbodenbelag   
   translated to Dutch. When playing the Ahoy in Rotterdam 88, shouted this to   
   the audience reffering to    
   that performance of Sofa.
