Speaking of the Dutch…
By Mitch Berg
Speaking of which; if Terry Keegan’s Thursday Night Trivia ever asks “What are the words to the Dutch National Anthem”, I’m totally covered:
Wilhelmus van Nassouwe ben ick, van Duitsen blut!
Den Vaterland getrouwe, bleif ick tot in den doet.
Een Prinze van Oranjen bleif ick, vrij onverveert.
Den Konink van Hispanjen heb ick alltijd gheert!
And no, I didn’t effing Google it, either. I had to learn it 25 years ago. I can still sing the baritone harmony part, to say nothing of the words, from memory.
Bring it on, Keegan.

“There are only two things I can’t stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures… and the Dutch.”
