All animals are not food. Racist bullshit.

She is German and one of the most successful singers in Europe. She has an incredible voice and was ranked No. 8 on Forbes' list of the best-selling female singers in the world in 2018. Before Celine Dion and Britney Spears. Her concerts are amazing. Not only because of her magnificent voice but also through show, dance and acrobatics. Her stage presence is huge. She trained with artists from Circe de soleil. Her biggest concert was in front of 130,000 people. She has sung many great duets with world stars. Such as Tom Jones, Andrea Bocelli, Robbie Williams, Josh Groban, Nick Carter, Placido Domingo, Michael Bolton, Luis Fonsi, Take That and many more.

Someone made an English version of it. Can't remember who it was. A well known singer.

Hope it shows here that in the netherlands there are many different ways that people celebrate Christmas. In my family we never did Christmas presents, ever, not even one. I love that.

Not what the heck. Youp van t Hek.😉

the most succesful Xmas song in the Netherlands for so many years. You have Chris driving home, we have Flappie

The kid treated Dad the way Dad treated Flappie

The reason why you didn't get the last part is because you were yapping all through the song.

Yes he did the same to his Dad like his Dad did to Flappie😂😂😅😅

Happy holidays and a happy new year. This version is very traditional and you don't hear this version often.

This is a very ancient song in the Germanic speaking world. The lyrics apparently have been written in the 16th century. And it was later turned into a Christina song, in the middle of the 19th century. The time of the Romantic period, when many folk tales & songs were written down. Or new stories were created, like Dracula & Frankenstein. These two singers are legendary Dutch singers, and father & daughter. Both from Amsterdam by the way. Willy Alberti was his name as an artist. His real name was: Carel Verbrugge (14 October 1926 - 18 February 1985), known as Willy Alberti, was a Dutch singer, who sang in Dutch and Italian. He was also an actor and a radio and TV personality. His daugher became a very famous singer herself, and even participated in the Eurovision song contest in the ‘90s. They style of music they normally sing, is called Levenslied in Dutch. And it’s a specific style of genre, which is only sung in Dutch. The songs are often about the hardships in life.

Haha i love to be dutch best song there is Flappie

When we see rabbit for sale in the supermarket we always call it Flappy.

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 😂😂😂

I isn't Christmas untill you hear flappie on the radio ❤😂

I'm so sorry.

Try Stonegood - Flappy (Pidgin English)😉🤘

Saint Nicolas

Merry Christmas Paul and everyone! 🌲🎄🌲🌲

Saint Nicolas (Sinterklaas/ Saint Nicolas/Santa Claus= 6th of December)

yeah, an eye for an eye, come on fair game

Willy Alberti is already passed away. He had a musicshop in Amsterdam Osdorp where i lived very closeby when i was in my youthtime.

They are father and daughter. I hope you have a good time with your family!

Slowest penny drop I have seen in ages. Yes, it's a very dark song.

Well, the song didn’t _say_ dad was killed, let alone served for dinner… The suggestion hangs thick in the air though 😂

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.

The subtitles isn't that great so i understand the confusion.

Americans really don't understand this kind of humor is it because they are so anti violence?

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.

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.

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.

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. 😁

German sounds so harsh...! Right?

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.

Is een grapje

Daddy the second rabbit 😅 ....

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.

Yes he slaughtered his dad, just like dad slaughtered Flappie. But don't worry, it is fiction.

A few years ago, the American singer-songwriter-producer Todd Rundgren made an English version of Flappie.

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).

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

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.

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.

Todd Rundgren did an englisch version of this song 4 years ago: th-cam.com/video/nnPZ32r_-fI/w-d-xo.html

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!

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.

Merry christmas 😂
