Yesterday, AVROTROS/NPO3 reran an episode of "Het beste van... 50 jaar TopPop", a program that celebrated last year the Golden jubilee of the iconic AVRO's TopPop. The TV show drew 171.000 viewers (market share: 4.8%). It was initially broadcast on September 2th, 2020.

"Het beste van... 50 jaar TopPop" included an excerpt from Luv's Trojan Horse (originally taken from the TROS special All You Need Is Luv' which aired on November 19th, 1978). 

Dutch celebrities discussed Luv's classic hit on TopPop. Record producer Eric van Tijn told that Trojan Horse was the "perfect record made for campsites" (campgrounds being a key element of the Dutch popular culture) and that "everybody loved this kind of music".

Fashion designer Janice and his husband Andy Wijnen laughed at the music video for Trojan Horse when they saw two Smurfs next to the Luv' ladies.

Radio DJ Eva Koreman said: "I like the fact that they sing about a Trojan Horse, they use Scottish bagpipes...in Amsterdam!". Van Tijn added: "Who would have expected this track to be a hit with these bagpipes? It was something unusual and a brilliant idea". Koreman also asserted: "This is soooo Patty Brard!". 

Patty Brard reacted to the rerun of "Het beste van... 50 jaar TopPop" on her Instagram story and showed the excerpt featuring Janice giggling as well as Eric van Tijn and Eva Koreman's analysis of Trojan Horse. The diva also told that during the taping of the TV show in a zoo she was allergic to a baby tiger.
