After a while they change direction and turn into an act that combines rock and comedy. This earns the band a fantastic live reputation and their concerts were one big party.
They score many hits in their native the Netherlands during the 1970's, with the two biggest ones being "The Show" and "The Opera" which both reach the 2nd position in the Dutch Top 40. They also were popular in Japan and South America.
In 1983 the band calls it quits after diminishing success. In the 2009 the band started to perform again with their old hits. Several days, end of march 2015, after their performance in Eindhoven, the founder Jacques Kloes died. This was the end of the Dizzy man's band.

"Dizzy On The Rocks" by Dizzy Man's Band is a lively and energetic song that encourages everyone to get up and dance. The song invokes a sense of joyful abandon, with the lead singer calling on the audience to join in, raise their hands, and get moving. The lyrics encourage everyone to feel the rhythm and try to touch the sky, while shaking and swinging to the left and right. The song also refers to classic dance moves such as the twist and shout.
The overall message of the song is clear: forget your worries, let loose, and have fun. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody are infectious, and the repeated calls for louder and softer singing create a sense of community and togetherness among the listeners. The song's lyrics are simple and repetitive, making it easy to sing along and to get lost in the music.
