A couple years back, my daughter came home from school (year 8, 6th grade in American terms) telling me that she heard the best song. This one! Now I sleep with one eye open.
Youp van 't Hek is a famous Dutch comedian. The performance of the song was a part of his show. You need to know that and his dark comedy style to get this song right away. You found out quite quick. I hope you can laugh about it by now. For every person that was humiliated for being too sensitive by grown-ups when he/she/them was a child, this is the ideal revenge song.
2:31 Yes, Flappie became christmas dinner. Post war Europe was increadibly poor, but the Netherlands was not as densly populated back then, so people outside of the cities kept animals and had a vegetable garden to get enough food. Most kept rabits and chickens, but some had two pigs as well, one for them selves and one to pay the butcher. One of my grandfathers came from the city and apparently, he was scared to death when he found a pig hanging on a ladder in my grandmother's shed.😂 Chickens and rabits were butchered at home, chickens with an axe, rabits sometimes with a gun, but usually by beating with a stick or a hamer.
Hilarious to see someone who has never heard of this song react to it. You got the clue of the song right! It is one of my favorite Christmas songs because it is not a traditional Christmas song and Joep van 't Hek's dark humor is great!
It sorta happened to my dad. It was pretty normal back then to have rabbits and eat them at Christmas. But my dad knew as a kid why they had rabbits. So he never really bonded with them.
This is Dutch humor, dark on the edge, recognisable and slightly uneasy. A sweet revenge story of a pet turned into a christmas dinner. You probably heard it by now but this comedian once destroyed the non alcohol beer brand 'Buckler' in one of his comedy routines.
My grandma always said ; never tell your best jokes to a German., because if you do, you won't like your joke as much as before... 😂. Now i finally know what she meant 😂😂😂
Yeah, that happened all the time when we were young, but mostly the dads and grandpa's survived. Blood all over the bikes. True. So I always showed my kids how to make good food from animals without lying to them. Bloody business anyway, but at least they were not lied to. They are grown now, but they still like my food.
Yeah, this is our dutch dark comedy, when u hear this on the radio its christmas. Its a little based on history since in the 50's and 60's it was not uncommon for people to breed their own food at home, plants or small animals.
It is relatable to a lot of Dutch kids from that era. They had it happen to them and some kids had these dark thoughts kinda secretely wished they could do that to their dad. Only to Youps fictional dad it actually happened.
My Grandmother hates that song with a passion... Mostley because of that the first part indeed happend to her (though her dad was still alive when i was born).
Oh and about the dark humor it's not the worst, like you can find in family circles. My niece and nephew alway used to tease me by asking: when i would die, so that they could inherit my Lego 🤣 (They were 10 and 6 at the time)

In the Netherlands we know it's Christmas when we hear Flappie on the radio. This is our dark humor.

Welcome to the Dutch traditional Christmas! It’s actually on the radio every Christmas. We like it a bit dark. Merry Christmas 😜🎄🥂

This song is so freaking dark. Your face when you connect all the dots 🤣

A few years ago, the American singer-songwriter-producer Todd Rundgren made an English version of Flappie.
Welcome to Europe, where not everything is as soft as Disney. It might scare you, but it is a good way to grow and learn.
Isn’t he German?

the most succesful Xmas song in the Netherlands for so many years. You have Chris driving home, we have Flappie
I isn't Christmas untill you hear flappie on the radio ❤😂

Todd Rundgren did an englisch version of this song 4 years ago: ruclips.net/video/nnPZ32r_-fI/видео.html
Slowest penny drop I have seen in ages. Yes, it's a very dark song.
Yes he slaughtered his dad, just like dad slaughtered Flappie.
But don't worry, it is fiction.
Well, the song didn’t _say_ dad was killed, let alone served for dinner… The suggestion hangs thick in the air though 😂
The kid treated Dad the way Dad treated Flappie
My grandma always said ; never tell your best jokes to a German., because if you do, you won't like your joke as much as before... 😂. Now i finally know what she meant 😂😂😂
When we see rabbit for sale in the supermarket we always call it Flappy.

yeah, an eye for an eye, come on fair game
Yes he did the same to his Dad like his Dad did to Flappie😂😂😅😅
Someone made an English version of it. Can't remember who it was. A well known singer.
Todd Rundgren did Flappue in English. He had a record deal that forced him to do a Christmas song, the record company did not expect this song 😊
Translation is a bit of. I told mom that she is not alowed to go to the bike shed and if she played along that wil get something later on.
My Grandmother hates that song with a passion...

Try Stonegood - Flappy (Pidgin English)😉🤘
As a Dutch person I never connect the boy to Jeffrey Dahmer. But indeed even the glasses is comparable. Many Dutch humor is dark or sarcastic. 😁
It's xmas time so it's Flappie reaction time!
Daddy the second rabbit 😅 ....
Haha i love to be dutch best song there is Flappie
Not what the heck. Youp van t Hek.😉
Merry christmas 😂
Ohhhh noooooooo!! Not Flappie 😢

The subtitles isn't that great so i understand the confusion.
Mom lied to the kid and dad offed the bunny. So he offed dad and lied to mom. Its very dark. Its not my cup of tea.
Is een grapje
The reason why you didn't get the last part is because you were yapping all through the song.
No.
