Artists respected by the
members of the Nether beat formation Q65 from the Hague were among others the
Rolling Stones.
It is not entirely certain, but there is a possibility that the
band name is a fusion of two songs from the early Stones repertoire: Suzy Q and
Route 66. Q66 did not sound too juicy (moreover the group simply was founded 1965
and not in 1966) so eventually the name became Q65.

Apart from Your Toddler the road safety organisation ran another
campaign in 1965, the slogan of which comes down to ‘Had a glass, have someone
drive you’. That could also have been a nice source of inspiration, if it were
not for Q65 and alcohol being a highly unlikely combination.
