1. Established in 1976, Champagne was a Dutch pop group, known as the 'Dutch ABBA' in their day. Brought together by producer, Martin Duiser, the line-up consisted of two men (Bert van der Wiel and Jan Vredenburg) and two women (Trudy Schell and Paulette Bronkhorst). Their first single, 'Rock And Roll Star' (1976), became a smash hit in The Netherlands (#2), Belgium (#1) and Germany (#12). More chart hits followed ('Oh Me, Oh My, Goodbye' and 'Valentino' hitting the Dutch Top-5 in 1977), as well as two studio albums: Champagne (1977) and Rollerball (1979). The group called it a day in April 1981.
2. Champagne is an alias used by Helsinki, Finland-based drum and bass artist, Christian Champagne.
3. Champagne is a Czech 'Euro dance' project by DJ Mysh (Michal Jirak). As Champagne, Mysh enjoyed considerable success in the Czech charts around 1995.
4. Champagne was a short-lived psychedelic rock band from Plymouth, United Kingdom, established in August 1968. They were Terry Ball (lead vocals, guitarist), Greg Vandike (keyboards), Paul Arscott (bass) and Tony Carney (drums). The group recorded a few tracks at an empty Van Dike Club (which was owned by Greg's father, local entrepreneur Peter Vandike), but the songs remained unreleased until they popped up on compilations of sixties psychedelia half a century later.

The lyrics of "That's Life" by Champagne are full of questions about love and desire. The singer is asking her lover whether he wants, needs, and loves her. She then confesses her own uncertainty about what she will do without him. Throughout the song, she references the discolight and dancing, suggesting that they are in a club or party setting. Despite her worries, the singer acknowledges that this is just a part of life - that's life, baby, life.
The repetition of the questions, "Do you gonna want me? Do you gonna need me? Do you gonna love me?" creates a sense of urgency and desperation in the singer's voice. She is questioning the foundation of their relationship and trying to gauge its strength. The line "I'm living in discolight that's why, why, why" suggests that the party life might be taking a toll on her relationship.
The chorus, "That's life, baby, life" provides a sense of acceptance and resignation. Life is full of ups and downs, and the singer acknowledges that this is just a part of it. The repetition of the chorus at the end of the song suggests that the singer has come to terms with her situation and is ready to continue living her life.

I love it! Supersong!
@gertvanlaar5670
Jody Piper is hier zo duidelijk de zangeres , die hadden ze eigenlijk hierbij moeten laten optreden
@hanepskamp5393
Dit moet Toppop zijn, want ik weet nog dat ik dit in de studio mee gemaakt heb. Ze zongen mee met de CD en ik hoorde dat het heel anders klonk. Later bleek inderdaad dat Jodi Pijper en Anita Meyer de sound bepaalden, hoewel de leden wel zelf konden zingen.
@777rene
