You passed the ‘‘How to be Dutch’’ test a long, long time ago mate,
you know more about our country, people and culture then the average Dutchie.
😆 that was fun..I didn’t pass being a dutchie myself..🤔 ❤️ from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I know, comedy and satire, but still I think our anthem is one of the most beautiful, both textual as musical. Ifff you know the meaning, context and history of it.
Hihihi..I love it..😆😆😆😆😆
Greg Shapiro is great. Saw him on tv as well as live in Amsterdam in Boom Chicago theatre on occasion of American and Dutch elections. He knows how to present a mirror in front of the Dutch people and explain the American view on Netherlands. Always nice for a good laugh.
Question 1: i pushed the time buzzer 3 times already before you answered! 😂😂 great vid again. Thnx
The anthem: you might wonder what is the meaning of 'Duitschen' in the text. The state of Germany didn't exist then nor did the Netherlands. What did the people identify as in that time? In general it means that it's a person from the areas of the old Germanic tribes I'd say. That's strongly in contrast with the King of Spain, who's the enemy. So basically Willem says I'm one of you, the people, and the king is not (so you don't need sorry to not support him, instead support me).
They forget that the Wilhelmus is written as a personal song for Willem van Oranje. NOT as a national anthem. It became the anthem because it was an army march. And because it was the march of Willem, it was played all over als people stuck to it. Why don't you ever hear about "Wien Neerlandsch Bloed" ?
You only need to change TWO words in the 1st verse to upgrade it.
"Ben ik van Neerlands bloed."
en
"Den koning van Neerlande"
That's all
The Dutch revolt that would turn in the 80-years war not just about the physical battles. Willem and his supporters also kept making the legal case, for the ancient rights and privileges of the cities to rule public order themselves including matters of religion, and the inalienable right of freedom of conscience. They argued king Philip of Spain was out of order by becoming a tyrant/sending a tyrant in the person of the Duke of Alba.
So he justifies himself in the song by claiming he had always honoured the king of Spain, which is in fact true. Despite the fact he was the king's steward/stadtholder for the Netherlands and turning against him, he had never denied his legtimacy as king or tried to become king himself, that would be not honouring him. This is also why the Dutch DOI of 1581 didn't declare the Netherlands having left the Spanish Empire, it declared the king to have left his legitimate throne of the Netherlands by himself, through his actions and becoming a tyrant. They created the Dutch republic but they weren't republicans in the sense that wanted to turn the whole European order of kings with their divine right and their nobility upside down. They declared the divine rigth of kings condtional, coming with the obligation to serve the people.
It didn't take that much propaganda to depict the Spanish as an alien invader bringing terror, but everything Spanish was indeed villified and him emphasizing a common ancestry with the Dutch people certainly fits into that.
10:58..
i strongly agree.!!!
we should have a NEW national anthem.!!
we should be fkng PROUD on ourselfs.!!!
without The Netherlands, the entire world would be skrewed.!!!
NGL man.. we have major impact in al corner of the world.!
BE PROUD DUTCHIES.!! WE ARE THE WORLD.!!!!
This one was cool ❤
I think I had the same reactions and fun as you did with this quiz
Question 1 and immediately complaining about the answers. You passed! You're Dutch :)
We brag in a modest way... 😉
As a dutchie, I don't know the first question
Fun fact: the music of the Wilhelmus isn't Dutch either, it was from an already existing French song! 🤪✌🏼
De melodie van het Wilhelmus is ontstaan tijdens het beleg van de Franse stad Chartres in 1568. De eerste bekende vermelding van de tekst stamt uit 1572. Deze tekst wordt in het algemeen toegeschreven aan Marnix van Sint Aldegonde, de secretaris van Willem van Oranje. Adriaen Valerius legde in 1626 de huidige melodie van het Wilhelmus vast in zijn bundel 'Nederlandtsche Gedenck-clanck'.
yeah maybe because its one of the oldest anthems in the world smartass
Ok... we do brag... sometimes... kind of.
And I only barely passed this part of the test. When are we doing to other parts? 😂
Greg Shapiro is funny! I am not bragging, of course, but the Dutch national anthem is the oldest in the world, just like the Red-White-Blue tricolor flag! And we don't sing: '..I am German...'. 'Diets' or 'Duits' in those days could mean 'of the people', but in the Wilhelmus it simply means 'I am of Dutch blood'!
the national anthem is original written in belgium in antwerpen LOL
I didn't passed ... and i'm Dutch. 😇
LMAO🤣....what a great video and a wake up call. We dutchies are pathetic but still proud.
I don't know for what but proud 🤔
LOL @ 4:05 !
The dutch anthem is not a big thing like in the USA. We only sing it on the olympics or football games. Not on school. It is the oldest national song, so lets keep it that way. I like it to sing a stupid tekst. It is better then believe in Nationalisme.
Only International football games! Americans do sing their anthem at every (American) football game! ✌🏼
Exactly that.
If you know the history, context and thus meaning of it there's nothing "stupid" about it, nore is nationalism in itself a bad thing, it just depends on how you employ it. Like there's a huge difference between ethnic nationalism and state nationalism.
You only need to change TWO words in the 1st verse to upgrade it.
"Ben ik van Neerlands bloed."
en
"Den koning van Neerlande"
That's all
@@cbronoord I've suggested that as well throughout the years, only I'd suggest 'Koning van Oranje' instead of 'koning van Hispanje'. But to be fair, that's a disgrace to it's symbolism and would only be done due to the fact many people are to dumb to aknowledge the historical context.
The reason our national anthem doesn't really feature us is because at the time it was used in song the opressors would allow it. At least this is what I was told in school and from a few books that you needed to read. You never know if it really was for that reason.
Greg is a national treasure we stole from the USA and claimed as our own, at least... that's how i see it ;)
This was hilarious Paul. 🤣🤣. And yes, we do need a new national anthem. There has been a discussion about it for many years. At least change the lyrics, right? Greetings from the Netherlands.
The Dutch national anthem is the song of the royal family. It replaced the old national anthem at the beginning of the last century. Which was a good thing, becease that song was exteemly racist.
No, it's not.
Love your sshow but this is bulshit..😂😂😂😂🎉😊
This man has absolutely no idea how we are. Wiw, why on earth does he live here, he is pretty much insulting to us
