Already in his youth, Frans Bauer wanted to become a singer after he was inspired by Julio Iglesias, Elvis Presley and Koos Alberts (a Dutch singer). Bauer's own singing career started in 1987 when he recorded his first single, "Ben Je Jong" (Are You Young), under supervision of Dutch producers Rudi Schreijenberg and Emile Hartkamp.
In January 1992 he met his later wife-to-be, Mariska van Rossenberg. He was a local celebrity before rising to national fame due to the national television show "All You Need Is love" in early 1992, where he was to choose two female fans for a date. In 1994 he had his first national hit with "Als Sterren Aan De Hemel Staan". In 1997 he conquered Germany with his album "Weil Ich Dich Liebe".
Frans Bauer's fame kept growing to the point where he had his own reality show called "De Bauers", in which his daily life, including his family life, was followed. Bauer has also designed clothing for the Vroom & Dreesmann retail chain, based in The Netherlands.
He has won several awards and honours in The Netherlands, including a knighthood ("Ridder in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau") due to his charitable work and the "Gouden Televizier-Ring" for the reality show that has been running on Dutch television the year previously.
In 2006 he was struck by an infection on his vocal cords. He recovered after surgery.
Ik krijg de kriebels

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ik zag jou lopen en was van slag
'K Lig nu te dromen de hele dag
Ik kan niet meer slapen en dwaal door de nacht
'K Voel me gelukkig als jij naar mij lacht
Ai ai ai ik krijg de kriebels als ik jou maar even zie
Ai ai ai de stoutste dromen spoken door mijn fantasieAi ai ai een beetje liefde dat is alles wat ik vraag
Laat mij hier niet langer wachten
Ik wil jou het liefst vandaag
La la la la la la
Ik loop al weken met dat gevoel
En wil graag weten wat jij nu voelt
Zeg blijven het dromen of maak jij ze waar
Zijn wij misschien voor elkander gemaakt
Ai ai ai ik krijg de kriebels als ik jou maar even zie
Ai ai ai de stoutste dromen spoken door mijn fantasie
Ai ai ai een beetje liefde dat is alles wat ik vraag
Laat mij hier niet langer wachten
Ik wil jou het liefst vandaag
Ai ai ai ik krijg de kriebels als ik jou maar even zie
Ai ai ai de stoutste dromen spoken door mijn fantasie
Ai ai ai een beetje liefde dat is alles wat ik vraag
Laat mij hier niet langer wachten
Ik wil jou het liefst vandaag

Singing a joyful tune, expressing my happiness
Ik zag jou lopen en was van slag
I saw you walking and I was taken aback
'K Lig nu te dromen de hele dag
I'm daydreaming all day long
Ik kan niet meer slapen en dwaal door de nacht
I can't sleep anymore and wander through the night
'K Voel me gelukkig als jij naar mij lacht
I feel happy when you smile at me
Ik loop al weken met dat gevoel
I've been walking around with that feeling for weeks
En wil graag weten wat jij nu voelt
And I'd like to know what you're feeling now
Zeg blijven het dromen of maak jij ze waar
Are we just dreaming or are you making them come true
Zijn wij misschien voor elkander gemaakt
Are we maybe made for each other
