The Swedish pop group has had the number of streaming service Spotify achieved and the broken stoves are going to challenge the judge. It is not clear whether Bjorn, Anni-Frid, Benny and Agnetha find the song too vunzig and that it has been taken offline is not clear. In the past that was the case with a lot of carnival numbers. We list the most discussed carnival numbers of the last years for you.

Look here for CV De Breakte Stoves when they choose your squatter with ‘Dikke Pens’:

Squatter offline
Just like with Dikke Pens (Clap Your Pens), the Carnival Song of Ladders was from Gullie and Lanterfantje in 2023 from Spotify. The song, which was based on the song ‘Ladada’ by singer Claude, was about drinking alcohol. According to the singer’s record label, no permission was requested to make a parody of the number.

“It has nothing to do with carnival. We are about the text about drinking alcohol. The text has been adjusted without permission. That is why we have left for it,” said a spokesperson for record company Cloud 9 at the time.

Despite the commotion, the song did win the audience prize, choose your squatter, for the best carnival number of the year.

Stoma song causes a fuss
At the beginning of this year, singer Jan Biggel from Liempde said he received ‘a lot of shit’ after launching his new carnival cracker ‘My grandmother who has’ n stoma’. Stoma carriers responded mixed to the carnivalesque song where you can see a hopping grandmother in the video clip who spins around with a stoma bag in her hand.

For example, Erica van Leeuen from Tilburg, who himself has a urine and intestinal stoma, found that the bag is glorified in the song, while a stoma entails a lot of misery. Peter van Stokkom from Rijen, who has had a urineestoma for twenty -five years, thought that the bag with stools will be removed from the taboo sphere by Jan Biggel’s carnival number. The singer did not care much about the criticism and thought he was discussing the subject.

Threats by burqa song
Johan Vlemmix from Eindhoven was threatened after he released the song ‘Doe Boerka’ in 2012.

In the song Vlemmix and Remco de Rooij spot the garment. For example, Blondie pulls up her special burkashirt from the program ‘Oh Oh Cherso’ in the music clip to look through a gauze, while her belly beak is bare.

Vlemmix hoped that carnival lovers would wear a burqa shirt en masse. He could mainly count on negative reactions and threats online, by telephone and on the street.

I want to blow you …
The sisters of Sjansjee from Breda love ambiguity. Many people found the carnival song ‘I want to blow you … make your pants a little shorter’ from 2019 under the belt.

Various radio and TV channels mentioned the song Vulgar. The number also yielded indignant reactions on the street. “I find it inappropriate in this time. If this carnival has to be then we will be back. Really very flat,” a man said at the time.

‘Pornomication of carnival’
The Sjansjee sisters from Breda added in 2020 with the song ‘Effe Trekke’. They were eventually boycot in the Fijnfisheniecafé and at 3 hours Vurraf by this song.

“Do you want him with Mayo or do you want him with fries or with Pikke, Pikke, Pikke, Piccalilly otherwise,” the sisters Monique and Esther sing in the song that is an ode to the croquette from the wall.

Editor -in -chief Renzo Veenstra from Omroep Brabant called the song a ‘pornomication of the carnival song’. Rob van de Laar of the Brabant carnival federation also mentioned texts as ‘effe migration and then he goes in your mouth’ bad for the image of carnival.

‘Only shouting and especially flat’

Wim Kersten (died in 2001) is the writer of carnival songs as ‘with us is on the kitchen door’ and ‘Flower curtain’. He is said to have grazed the many flat carnival numbers of today.

In 2017, Kersten posthumously honored as ‘father’ of the pure carnival song in the National Carnival Museum. His son Willem-Jan called the ambiguous carnival songs ‘only shouting and especially flat’, of which his father would have graved.
