The Chair Song
I was at the velodrome yesterday for the paralympics, and when one of the dutch riders (or the tandem) was up, they played what I assumed was 'The Chair Song'. Now I'm not sure because I've never actually heard it but it sounded like it could be.
Can someone explain the relevance and perhaps post a video? I can't find anything on youtube so i assume its got a dutch name that I dont know.

Yes! I think that was it, or something very like it. Is there some sort of story behind the song and the raising of the chairs, Or did it just happen?0

I've actually found this website that explains a bit about the song, but the translated version is a bit confusing.0

Rick Chasey translation:
mijn oog dat viel op jou,
My eyes fell on you.
o nee wat is dit nou.
Oh what is this now
zo fijn gevoel met niks te vergelijken.
Such a nice feeling is uncomparable

I don't know who you are or if you know me

This was the subject of an earlier post about 12 months ago - not sure if it ever answered the question of lifting the chairs tho'
