The power of Harry is also in his accent (from the Hague) the creative Hague language, the story about his family and especially his songs. He used to be the singer of a band in the 80s: klein orkest (small orchestra) and they had some very strong lyrics. The song 'over the muur' (Over the wall) about the berlin wall is highly recommendable. (Don't know if you have reacted to it allready) He isn't that known amongst the bigger audience, but theatre audiences love him. He used to be an English teacher in high school and has some great stories about that time. He was also great friends with cabaretier Jeroen van Merwijk who sadly passed a few years ago. They did a show together and they are both very great/sharp with their words and thoughts. They had known each other since they both were unknown students. Jeroen was even less known with the bigger (tv) audience, but very popular with theater audiences. Clips and songs by Jeroen are also highly recommendable if someone wants to translate them.
I think Harrie Jekkers is also known by the big audience because of the song 'Oh oh Den Haag' (this was a solo performance by Harrie Jekkers) and, as you mentioned, 'Over de muur', which was his greatest hit. Both songs were in the top of the hit lists in that era. Fun fact: The song 'Oh oh Den Haag' was sung by 'Harrie Klorkestein', of which 'Klorkestein' is an anagram of Klein Orkest. 't Klein Orkest was found after Groot Orkest (Big Orchestra) fell apart, in 1978 by Harrie Jekkers and Koos Meinderts together. Harrie Jekkers also wrote a lot of songs for 'Kinderen voor kinderen 11' (Children for children part 11), also together with Koos Meinderts. I'm afraid you've mistaken Jeroen van Merwijk for Koos Meinderts, as far as I know Harrie Jekkers never worked close together with Jeroen van Merwijk. Jeroen van Merwijk was born close to Utrecht (in Bilthoven, he moved to Utrecht at the age of 6) and Harrie Jekkers studied English in the city of Groningen and was an English teacher in the city of Utrecht. I love his shows 'Met een goudvis aan zee', 'Het gelijk van de koffietent' and 'De lachende piccolo'. My favourite songs of him are 'Ellie', 'Soldaat op de foto' and 't Lijk'. 'Over 100 jaar...' was played on my mom's funeral, that was kinda funny, she always was a rebel in her way.
Hi Highly, So great you got this. Harrie Jekkers is from my hometown. He is very funny and this is part is great as well. Thank you for posting this. greetings from Holland.
Dear Mr. H. Thanks for my video reaction for my birthday....I will try and find the song...and I will translate some more clips...when I have time ha ha ha !
That part about smoking is also hilarious and true. When I was drafted in 1989 in the Dutch Army (42e Bataljon Limburgse Jagers, armored infantry), we also had those smoke breaks during training, the sergeant would say "smoke break, everyone smokes, if you don't smoke then just put a pencil in your mouth".
Can't wait for the protest song👴🤗 I went into service in the 70's. Not much was changed...👴😁 I think I got the better of it. I was Field Artillery, attached to 8th USFA Lance Missile Group, so meant to be way back from the "front".👴😉😊
Don't forget jeroen van merwijk. He was a great word artist, just like harry. Harry and Jeroen did a very entertaining show together as wel, since they were great friends since they were unknown students. (You can find it on youtube)
Verkoopt u ook kussentjes? Someone should translate that one! :D But also Jochem Myjer about hs german violin teacher. And also Peter Blanker - 't Is Moeilijk Bescheiden Te Blijven for instance!
@@I.Toverheks WHAHA! :D I've had several different IT jobs at offices and schools and such. Back then, Herman Finkers was EXTREMELY quote-worthy, no matter where I worked! :D Toefje voor het hoofd, struikje in d'r hand.... Ja hij is mij er eentje! ;-)
@@MarcelNL 'Laat ik het maar eens proberen' Of 'Ik ben vrijgezel, want mijn schoonouders konden geen kinderen krijgen' 'Wat een lief kind' Listening to herman, jeroen, harry, youp, brigitte, lenette and many others saved my sanity doing chores throughout my life.😉 (And helped me clean my house) And.. many of their quotes found their way in my daily life.
I'm also a Hagenees. I have this accent and I m proud of it hahaha. Harrie Jekkers the best!😄😅😂

The Hague accent = best accent!! Thank you for giving these legends the international attention they deserve
This will always be my favorite comedian/cabretier of all time!
I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as i do.
Heerlijk Jekkers in z'n plat Haags !!!!!!!!!!
@@nicovantol7363 ja echt wel vind het koffiehuis nog de leukse
I love Harrie Jekkers, but Fons Jansen is sadly overlooked by many people. An absolute genius.
I agree Harrie Jekers is awesome, you need to watch this whole show highly!
Yes, this men is great . Glad to see this one
Never saw it before, it's great ! Laughed-Out-Very-Very-Loud! Thanks @Highly and @Suzette!
I love this kind of humor...more clips are coming....but have to translate it first...!
For the next one from Harry Jekkers i would recommend: "Donald Duck/aap met een bril op!" (monkey with glasses on)
Would the one with the hazelip be allowed these days?
@@bathill2031 not to be rude, but i don't give a F*ck 🤣
@@bathill2031yes jan jaap is still on tv
I'm also very curious to the song now!
Thank you so much for sharing this one! And a very happy birthday 🥳🥳
Harry Jekkers probably is one of my favorite comedians. This man is brilliant! 😂
Hi Highly, So great you got this. Harrie Jekkers is from my hometown. He is very funny and this is part is great as well. Thank you for posting this. greetings from Holland.
Happy B-day Suzette! Great video!
I love Harry Jekkers. And yeah the stories of Uncle Jan are great. Specially the part about the ducklings
Dear Mr. H. Thanks for my video reaction for my birthday....I will try and find the song...and I will translate some more clips...when I have time ha ha ha !
The song that follows at the end of this is called "Soldaat op de foto" or "Soldier in the photo" in English. It's a beautiful song.
Totally love Harry Jekkers. One of hie best stories
Yes, Harry Jekkers, great. He also did sing in a band, Klein Orkest (Small Orchestra). They have beautiful songs.❣️
Thank you for this. I am a dutch comedian lover... Harry is the best!
A monkey with glasses is the most briliant one from Harry!
Such a nice reaction. He is indeed a very good comedian
That was great.
So funny 👍👍also because he talks with a heavy The Hague accent . It's like the New York style accent of the Netherlands .🤣
That part about smoking is also hilarious and true.

"smoke break, everyone smokes, if you don't smoke then just put a pencil in your mouth".
"Spoed peuk" anyone .
You have to look at "willem met de hazelip" its the best part i have ever seen 😂😂
Hi, Please add your suggestion to the googleform. You can find it under every video. Make sure it's in English or has English subtitles.
The story about his uncle Jan is the best imo, this is pretty good also.
van koffiehuis jan?
Can't wait for the protest song👴🤗
I went into service in the 70's. Not much was changed...👴😁

He has got a show de Lach en de piccolo Just take a look at it also about the old times in de 60,s
O oh Den Haa... :D
The protest song is fantastic. He is all nonsence, but this song is epic. Try it and you will like this.
You should watch the stoy of the german Shepherd from him. And his uncle. Or in any case everything he madem it is all funny.
Harrie Jekkers one of the best. Him, Andrè van Duin, Herman Finkers, Cees Torn and Fons Janssen.
Don't forget jeroen van merwijk. He was a great word artist, just like harry.
Harry and Jeroen did a very entertaining show together as wel, since they were great friends since they were unknown students. (You can find it on youtube)
