Gompie
Gompie is a Dutch band from Nijmegen, which in 1995 edited the Smokie hit "Living Next Door to Alice", adding the words "Alice, Who the fuck is Alice!?". The song reached number 1 in the Netherlands and number 17 in the UK. ''Who the X Is Gompie!'' is the name of the album they released in 1995. ==Background== The song "Living Next Door to Alice" was listened to on a regular basis in café Gompie in Nijmegen. When the name "Alice" had passed, it was common for the disk jockey Onno Pelser to turn the volume down and the entire café would scream "Alice, who the fuck is Alice?". Rob Peters, director of a record company, happened to visit café Gompie one evening and witnessed this show. He approached his friend, the singer Peter Koelewijn, and one day later the song was recorded. Gompie was chosen for the artist name. The single became a hit in the Benelux and 80 other countries. In the United Kingdom and the United States, a censored version was released with the name "Alice, who the bleep is Alice?". This charted in Britain (though was less popular than Smokie's own re-recording of the track with Roy 'Chubby' Brown) but made no impact in the US.
