From 1971 to 1974, he was one of the actors in the musical Godspell, making friends with actor Daniel Auteuil, who would become his best friend. In 1974, he released his first hit "Trop Beau", a French adaptation of The Rubettes' hit "Sugar Baby Love". Later, he released "Vanina", his first number-one single in France, an adaptation of Del Shannon's "Runaway", adapted into French by Patrick Loiseau. These were followed in 1975 by the three hits "Mon cœur est malade", "Dansez maintenant" and "Du côté de chez Swann".
His self-titled first album was released at the end of 1975. By that time, he did not only have great success in France and Belgium, but also in his country of origin the Netherlands, where "Dansez maintenant" was a number 1 hit. His later hits included "Lettre à Hélène" (1978), "Comment ne pas être amoureux de vous" (1978) and "Allo Elisa" (1979). In the 1980s, his popularity waned, but until his seventies he still had an audience due to live performances.

Dave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she wanna know why I ain't chattin' to her

That's a German on the line call me Manuel Neuer
My new girl, she got an attitude
And she wanna know why I ain't chattin' to her
10 grand on the phone I just got a call

And all my friends know I don't do drugs but
When I stunt I want my ex to see
My new girl, she got an attitude
And she wanna know why I ain't chattin' to her
10 grand on the phone I just got a call
That's a German on the line call me Manuel Neuer
My new girl, she got an attitude
And she wanna know why I ain't chattin' to her
10 grand on the phone I just got a call
That's a German on the line call me Manuel Neuer
And all my girls yeah they're independent
Tell your girlfriend to get some cash
Somali girl lookin' flexible
Now, that's what I call an acrobat

Marble, I just want you to arch your back
I tell her switch and reverse it, perfect
Mad Max, I'ma blast and dash
My new girl, she got an attitude

That's a German on the line like
My Range Rover's so much closer
Black and red that's Coca-Cola
Hope you know these kicks aren't coming out this year they're in a coma
New revolver, problem solver
Took this weight straight off my shoulders
I call that new spray Febreze
'Cause we use that for stains and odours
My new girl, she got an attitude
And she wanna know why I ain't chattin' to her
10 grand on the phone I just got a call
That's a German on the line call me Manuel Neuer
My new girl, she wants attention
She wants dinner dates, she wants too much
I got call for a deal that's a quarter mil'
That's not a Manuel Neuer, that's a Buffon
That's an Italian, that's a Ferrari
That's a Lamborghini or Maserati
That's a drive by the dance with your dargies
And left with your chick when we stepped in the party
I made 50 clean, that's a Lampard
That's a Bentley, Aston, Jaguar
I'll go Trapstar, and get my girl clothes
And spend the Paul Pogba, that's a Peugot
The lyrics to Dave's song Attitude is about his new girl who has an attitude and wants his attention. However, Dave seems to be more focused on his hustle, receiving calls for money and making deals. He brags about having women, but they are all anti-social, and he's not interested in pursuing them. Dave mentions his past relationships, dropping one girl for another, and stunts to make his ex jealous. He also references football players such as Manuel Neuer and Thomas Muller, as well as luxury cars like Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Bentley.
Dave's lyrics highlight the importance of focus and not getting distracted by relationships or material possessions. He emphasizes the value of financial independence and achieving success through hard work. Though it may seem like he is bragging about his wealth and lifestyle, the lyrics also suggest that these things do not necessarily make him happy or fulfilled. He seems to be using his music as a platform to express his thoughts and perspectives on life.
