[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2012310, member: 372207"] Thanks. Now I can never buy broccoli again without having to think of this horrific song. And they already look funny at me in the supermarket because it's impossible for me to pass the leek, the tomatoes or the cauliflower without bursting out in an idiotic song about that particular vegetable. (and in the case of the leek, the song that wants out isn't even about leek, very complicated but it makes sense in my head.) And then there is the turnip, chicory, salsify (which one luckily only encounters around christmas) and leek combined in one song, always threatening to come out, and I only know the chorus :( ("knolraap en lof, schorseneren en prei") It's a good thing I don't have children, I would have embarrassed them to utter despair by now, and that's only when shopping... [MEDIA=youtube]KsK423N-z7Y[/MEDIA] edit: I've just listened to it and small wonder I only know the chorus. It's one of the most bizarre songs I've ever heard! The video is obviously of a much later date than the song, but pretty accurate in depicting the images in the song :P [/QUOTE]
