In the early Seventies, the band switched to hard rock and had its first successes, including a brace of Top 40 hits. After original singer Veerman left and drummer Keizer took his place behind the microphone, the band made a musical U-turn and opted for commercial radio pop, adding female co-vocalist Annie Schilder and laying the foundation for their status as the most popular Dutch band ever (in terms of hit singles and albums). BZN has had over 50 hits in the Dutch hit parade to date.
BZN's claim to fame started with the song "Mon Amour" (1976), which held the #1 hit parade ranking for over 5 weeks. Outside of the Netherlands the band has had some success as well, amongst which several hits in South Africa (such as "Yeppa" in 1990) and minor successes with their French-language songs in Canada.
Through the years there have been many lineup changes, the most important of which have been the departure of Schilder in 1984 (replaced by Carola Smit) and in 1988 of the brothers Cees and Thomas Tol (keyboards), who until then had been responsible for most of the music and lyrics. The band remained nevertheless successful, making their last major change in strategy when they decided to write in Dutch instead of English as of 2003.
BZN are also responsible for the initial success of singer Jan Smit (singer), who was discovered by BZN at the age of 10 and went on to have pop and schlager successes in The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
On February 15 2006, BZN announced they would do one final tour and then call it quits. This goodbye tour is scheduled to last until June 2007.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I sense some lovin' in the air, I see it in your eyes con fuego
La Luna smiles, beaming out good vibrations
Let's sneak off to a hideaway, and join a private late night show
Come on and dance pretty baby, come-a-come and take a chance
Baila baila, baila baila baila
Dance to the rhythm of a Latin Salsa band
Come on and dance pretty baby, come-a-come and take a chance
Baila baila, baila baila baila
Dance to the rhythm of a Latin Salsa band
The nights are long, round the bay of old El Puerto
But nights are never long enough, under the fancy moon of love
Come on and dance pretty baby, come-a-come and take a chance
Baila baila, baila baila baila
Dance to the rhythm of a Latin Salsa band
Come on and dance pretty baby, come-a-come and take a chance
Baila baila, baila baila baila
Dance to the rhythm of a Latin Salsa band
And when we face the morning-light, we know it's time to go
We're longing for another late night show
Come on and dance pretty baby, come-a-come and take a chance
Baila baila, baila baila baila
Dance to the rhythm of a Latin Salsa band
Come on and dance pretty baby, come-a-come and take a chance
(Daaaance, chaaaance)
Baila baila, baila baila baila
Dance to the rhythm of a Latin Salsa band
(Daaaance)
Come on and dance pretty baby, come-a-come and take a chance
(Daaaance, chaaaance)

Die Sterne leuchten hell, am Boulevard del Puerto
Ich spüre etwas Liebes in der Luft, ich sehe es in deinen Augen con fuego
La Luna lächelt und strahlt gute Schwingungen aus
Lassen Sie uns zu einem Refugium schleichen und schließen Sie sich einer privaten Late-Night-Show an
Komm schon und tanze hübsches Baby, komm und komm und nimm die Chance
Baila baila, baila baila baila
Tanz im Rhythmus einer Latin Salsa Band
Komm schon und tanze hübsches Baby, komm und komm und nimm die Chance
Baila baila, baila baila baila
Tanz im Rhythmus einer Latin Salsa Band
Die Nächte sind lang, um die Bucht von El Puerto
Aber Nächte sind nie lang genug, unter dem schaurigen Mond der Liebe
