June Lodge & Prince Mohammed - Someone Loves You Honey • TopPop

'Someone Loves You Honey' by June Lodge & Prince Mohammed was a number one record in the Dutch Top 40 in the summer of 1982, six weeks long.
This Toppop recording, first broadcast on July 15, 1982, was very special.
This is the story as published in the book '50 Years Toppop':
'The record company was unpleasantly surprised when only June Lodge got off the plane, alone. Prince Mohammed was untraceable. For a moment it looked bad for June Lodge's Toppop debut. But the Toppop team found a way around the problem: they found out that AVRO's tv-presenter Humberto Tan knew someone who could perfectly play the role of the rapping Prince Mohammed: Humberto's older brother Patrice.
The good looking Patrice Tan played the role with the greatest ease. At the start of the song, while June Lodge sang her solo part, he was just sitting on the floor as one of the stand-ins. But the moment he had to perform his parlando, he got up and stood loosely next to June. She was visibly amused by the nice, relaxed, hip-swaying young man next to her, who then sang along to his part, full of bravado. Together they danced and sang the song to a successful conclusion as if they had done it like this for years.
This is the actual video with Patrice Tan standing in for Prince Mohammed.
