1984 proved their most succesful year, with a sell-out Twice Nightly tour, and their first Dutch chart-topping hit, Love Me Just A Little Bit More. A lot of merchandise was made, incl. the infamous Dolly Dots-dolls. In 1985, Anita left the band due to her pregnancy. In 1986 the Dots shot their Hollywood movie Dutch Treat, but it was not the smash hit they'd hoped for.
In 1987 the girls teamed up with producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman, in hope to crack the British charts. The song "What A Night" proved to be their last original single. The band split up in 1988. In 1993 a Disco remix of "Love Me Just A Little Bit More" was released to promote the Gold album, but the girls did not participate at all themselves. In 1998 all six girls gave a full concert again to promote their double CD The Collection and a R&B remix of What A Night.
In 2004 a musical featuring their best loved songs toured the Netherlands, but did not feature any of the members of the group. In 2007, the band reunited once more to perform during a concert series also featuring other Dutch bands. They also decided to give three (already) sold-out reunion concerts in May 2007. Angela, Ria and Anita were the only members of the band to release solo records, but none were as succesful as their joint efforts as the Dolly Dots. On July 20, 2009, Ria died of cancer. She was only 52 years old.
The Dolly Dots are still listed in the Dutch Guiness Book of Records as the longest running Dutch Girl Band.
Biggest hits: Love Me Just A Little Bit More, Radio, Do Wah Diddy Diddy, Hela-Di-ladi-Lo, PS, S.T.O.P., Don't Give Up, She's A Liar, Do You Wanna Wanna, Boys, Leila and All the Roses.
All I Want
Dolly Dots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hundred dollar perfume, all it does is make me sneeze
I said hey-hey
I don't need a million dollar (need a million dollar)
To be a succes
I said hey-hey
I don't need a diamond collar (need a diamond collar)
I couldn't care less
All I want, is your affection
I don't think that's asking too much (Hey!)
All I want, is some attention
All I want, is your love
Flying down to Rio, in a cosy little jet
Stoppin' off in Monaco, to place a modest bet
I said hey-hey
Champaign has too many bubbles (has too many bubbles)
They tickle your nose
I said hey-hey
I feel it isn't worth the trouble (isn't worth the trouble)
Believe me I know
All I want, is your affection
I don't think that's asking too much (Hey!)
All I want, is some attention
All I want, is your love
All I want, is your affection
I don't think that's asking too much (Hey!)
All I want, is some attention
All I want, is your love
Oooh late at night
I am overcome with emotion
When you hold me tight
No way that I would trade places with anyone
(Solo)
Oooh late at night
I am overcome with emotion
When you hold me tight
No way that I would trade places with anyone
All I want, is your affection
I don't think that's asking too much (Hey!)
All I want, is some attention
All I want, is your love
All I want, is your affection
I don't think that's asking too much (Hey!)
All I want, is some attention
All I want, is your love

The song "All I Want" by Dolly Dots is a love song that rejects materialism and emphasises the importance of love and affection over superficial symbols of wealth like caviar, hundred-dollar perfumes, or diamond collars. The singer tells us that she does not need luxurious things to be happy or successful. Instead, all she wants is her lover's affection, attention, and love. She believes that these are the only things that truly matter and make her feel complete. The lyrics are upbeat and light, and the melody is catchy, making it a perfect song to dance to with your partner.
The song promotes a message of love and simplicity, which is timeless and universal. It is a great reminder that true happiness can be found in the small gestures of affection, and that material wealth does not necessarily translate into happiness.
