Ever seen a Dutchman get angry? It’s not a pretty a sight. For starters, as Goldmember showed, they can’t pronounce their “esshes”, so the flem really starts to fly once they get rabid.
So we can only imagine the spittle erupting over the Netherlands at the moment following the nation’s anger against an “imbecilic” official song produced to mark the enthronement of King Willem-Alexander.
Apparently the song is an unlikely combination of traditional, rap and choir music. For the British equivalent, imagine Dizzee Rascal and Aled Jones recording a folk song for Prince William, then taking a shit on it and packaging it for public consumption.
“In protest at this imbecilic ‘King’s Song’, I hereby resign as a citizen of the Netherlands,” read an online petition that had already been signed by more than 7000 people, in the country of 17 million, just hours after it had been first released.
It’s not just the tune that’s been blasted, apparently the Dutch aren’t too happy with the oddball lyrics either. They include the king saying: “I build a dyke with my bare hands and keep the water away”. Hmm, we always thought decriminalising cannabis was a good idea but if this is the sort of shit they come out with in Amsterdam maybe it’s best to keep things as they are.
The song, which lasts just over five minutes, is performed by 51 Dutch artists, many of them stars in the Netherlands – which presumably means 2 Unlimited, Robin van Persie and Rutger Hauer all appear on it.
“Through the rain and the wind, I will stay close to you, protect you from whatever may come, watch over you while you sleep,” the artists on the track sing. Sounds like the king plans on stalking his subjects.
