licensee at the time didn't. The song was pitched to radio 3FM, where it was picked up by radio DJ Rob Stenders just days before the reunion concerts started. After two weeks, the song was placed on the station's playlist, though no record was released. The official release of the song, on Digidance label Paella, contains an insertion of the sample replayed by studio musicians Bert Meulendijk (guitar), David de Marez Oyens (bass), and with vocals by Johnny Kelvin and Addy van der Zwan. Rumour has it that there was a white-label 12" record that did contain the original sample, which was spread amongst Dutch DJs. Sales of the single dropped after record shops noted the single was different from the version played on radio, but it did peak on Dutch dance charts. Klaar: older and wiser In February 2000, Doe Maar issued two singles on the same day: Vrienten's "Als niet als" ('If, not when') featuring rapper Brainpower, and Jansz' anti-violence track "Watje" ('wimp'), which scored a No.9 position in the Dutch Top 40. An album, Klaar ('done'), followed in April; van Collem guested on five tracks while Belinfante was replaced by a three-piece horn section.

Hendriks performed his one lead vocal in "De kater" ('the hangover'), a song by Vrienten with a "let's drink our worries away and face the consequences later" theme.

Hees van Ahoy: hoarse throats Due to overwhelming ticket demand, the three reunion concerts expanded to a 25-date tour; 8 warm-up shows in both the Netherlands and Belgium, 16 nights at the Ahoy, and 1 at the Sportpaleis Antwerp. The tour was a success and it was recorded for the live CD/DVD Hees van Ahoy, released in November 2000. More reunions Boudewijn de Groot's 2004 album Eiland in de Verte ('distant island') features one song with Jansz, Vrienten, and Hendriks. In 2007, the entire band attended the premiere of Doe Maar: The Musical, for which Vrienten did supervising work. Against anyone's expectations, Doe Maar played eight shows in 2008 with Belinfante as the fifth man; four club dates (June), a three-night residency at Rotterdam's Feijenoord Stadium (11 July 12, 13), and a performance at Belgium's brand new Werchter Boutique festival. Vrienten was quoted as saying "This is not a reunion,
