Notes

The A-side, titled "M'n Ouwe Fiets" (My Old Bicycle), is a Dutch language version of "This Ole House" by Shakin' Stevens, who had a hit with it in 1981; this Ronny version was released as a cover/spoof in The Netherlands in the same period. "This Ole House" was originally written and released by Stuart Hamblen in 1954, see it here. In the credits of this Ronny release, Stuart Hamblen is credited as "S. Hamblen".

The B-side, titled "Dance The Night Away", is credited to the fake, non-existent "Ronny's Band" on this release, but is in fact a recycled song written by Conny Peters and Erwin Musper and was previously used, also as a B-side, on the single titled "Funky Banana" by Disco Charly & The Banana Peelers, released by CNR in 1978. The versions are identical.

The first 20 to 30 seconds of the A-side, "M'n Ouwe Fiets", contain a technical anomaly: while listening closely with headphones, one can clearly hear Ronny singing different lyrics than the ones he sings in the actual track. The singing is very faint, but audible, and it's off-beat, almost as if a track that was originally used for practising was still open during the final mixdown, accidentally leaving those lyrics in the intro of the commercial single release.
