Trojan Horse by Luv' was a huge hit in late 1978 and 1979 in a large part of Continental Europe as well as in Argentina, New Zealand, Zimbabwe and South Africa. It also reached the lower regions of the charts in Australia and Canada. This classic hit single sold one million copies worldwide.
Read the article I wrote to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Trojan Horse posted on November 18th, 2018: All About LUV' (past, present, future and more): 40th anniversary of Trojan Horse: Luv' came, saw and conquered!!! (luvgirlgroup.blogspot.com)
Trojan Horse has been covered by dozens of artists (mostly Dutch and German acts).
Recently, a Czechoslovak version (Trojský kůň) performed in 1981 by the girl group Bezinky was recently posted on YouTube. Click here to watch the video.
At the time, the Iron Curtain divided Europe into two separate areas: the Western capitalist bloc and the Eastern communist bloc. The Czechoslovak Socialist Republic was a dictatorship part of the Eastern bloc. Due to harmless content of Luv's material that didn't bother communist states, the songs of Holland's greatest girl trio were tolerated. In 1977, Luv' even performed their debut single "My Man" on East German TV (click here to read an article about this performance).
Moreover, another recent video of a cover of Trojan Horse was posted on YouTube. The Estonian male group Trobikond performed their version of Luv's song entitled "Üks päev" in 2001.
