Applause Cattle Lyrics - Singles - Heideroosjes

The elderly association from Klazienaratjetoe(*1) 

They got a note, they were invited to come on TV 

With a full bus to the 'Vakantieman'(*2) 

They made it a nice and cosy day 

Everyone with new cloths and everyone happy 

After they drove for 3 hours, they arrived 

They needed to sit quickly, close to each other 

The director called: "All shut up 

Don't squint in the camera and applause is obliged 

When I wave with my papers the hands hit eachother... 

The elderly association got flags and they needed to wave them 

But Aunt Mien had asthma and begun coughing 

And during the commercials Aunt Mien was taken out of the audience 

"Fuck off, bitch, you failed in your behavior" 

The elderly association needed to song too, some kind of national anthem 

But Uncle Jan without dentures, he couldn't do that 

The director didn't knew no pardon, and Uncle Jan was shown the door 

This is TV man, no stupid day out 

Applause cattle, do you want to clap? 

Hands hit each other, 1, 2 hupsakee(*3) 

Applause cattle, grieve on TV 

Hands hit each other, 1, 2 hupsakee 

I can cry about it, I get sick of it 

Take those scandal programs with that curding audience 

Jan fucked his mother, and Kees the dog 

I don't give a fuck, so shut up 

Even worse is Hansje with his 'Rad van Fortuin'(*4) 

And I'm not even talking about those pizza's of 'van Duin'(*5) 

Laugh and clap, 1, 2, on commando 

Your dog is better in it, 'apport' the boss Fernando!(*6) 

The elderly association from Klazinaratjetoe 

Was that day more dead than tired 

Uncle Jan and Aunt Mien had enough 

They will never go to the 'vakantieman' again...

(*2 'De Vakantieman' is an old Dutch program. Translated: "The Holiday guy") 

(*3 Hupsakee isn't really a Dutch word. It's pretty hard to explain. You can say it to children when you help them up a bike or a horse. A bastardized word which means something like 'there you go' ) 

(*4 'Rad van Fortuin' is an old Dutch game show. Translated: "The Wheel of Fortune") 

(*5 'André van Duin' is a famous Dutch comedian. One of his characters is the pizza man) 

(*6 'Apport' is what you say to your dog when you throw a stick)
