“Fijnfishenie in Soetelanden, we are going again”, sings Lamme Frans in his party song. The singer made a carnival song and mentions various Dutch cities in it. So is Zoetermeer, or Soetelanden.

We don’t actually celebrate carnival in Zoetermeer, but we do celebrate in surrounding places. Yet a carnival song has been released for our city by Lamme Frans.
This is Lamme Frans
The alter ego of Rob Janssen, born in Gelderland, is Lamme Frans. You may know the pacesetter from the carnival cover ‘All in one’ and the party number ‘Wakker met een bier’. In addition to his carnival character, Rob is a DJ at 3FM.
Have a nice party
Lamme Frans slightly adjusted his carnival song from last year, so that our city also appears in the song. The song bears the title: Fijnfisjenie. No idea what that means? In some cities in Brabant, this dialect means ‘Have a nice party, isn’t it?’ This sentence is often spoken during carnival and is used every year by Omroep Brabant as a carnival slogan.

‘Fine fish in Soetelanden’
Lamme Frans incorporated this statement into a song and made a version for many Dutch cities. Curious how that sounds for Zoetermeer? Listen to ‘Fijnfishenie in Soetelanden’ below. Turn it up loud and sing along at the top of your lungs.
