OK, here it is. Translated Lange Frans song thing

This is off the top of my head with no dictionary / thesaurus so will read strangely. I am surprised - haven't heard the song at all but the lyrics really sum up the country and the mood, which is probably why it's at #1

I just found the lyrics and they are sooooo bad I will translate it for you:

The Country Of

[Lange Frans]
Come from the land of Pim Fortuyn and Volkert van de G.
Come from the land of Theo van Gogh and Mohammed B.
Come from the land of kroketten, frikadellen (Dutch snacks)
That you can buy all the way to the Spanish coast
Come from the country where Air Max never go out of fashion
Where they knock you down as soon as you're going to be big
Come from the land of red white and blue and the golden lion
Plundered the world and called it the golden age
Come from the land of weed plantations and 4-day bike trips
The land where you can buy a bike from a junkie
The country which was champion in '88
The land of herring, dykes and canals
Come from the land, the land of Tall Fransie
This is the land I come home to from vacation

[Baas B]
Come from the land where I was born in 1982
Where I lost my guilders to the euro
The land which joined in the war on Iraq
Cos Bush has Balkenende in his pocket
The land of being stingy
Buying a round is too expensive
You take a fatty snack from Febo out of a wall
The land of riots between Ajax and Feyenoord
But when the national team plays every behaves
The land of Johan Cruijff and Abe Lenstra
The Dutch fans never hide their allegiance
The land where each day we hope for better weather
I don't trust that Piet Paulusma as far as I could throw him
The land which has been free since '45
The land where I live and I think it's fantastic
Honest

[Lange Frans]
I come from the land you can drive through in 3 hours
With a different dialect every 10 minutes
Come from the land where on paper there is space for everyone
And Extasy is the number one export
Come from the land where Andre Hazes
Will still be King in every pub 100 years from now
Come from the land where Peter, Gert-Jan, Raymond and Jutten
Frans, Bart en Ali run the show
Come from the land where hiphop is a 30-year old child
And you can decide for yourself how cool that is
The land where if you're rich you must pay back so much
That you think to yourself, what's the point ?
The land where prostitution and dope are legal
The land of St. Nicolas Day and Queen's Day
This is the land I have lost and been duped by
Come from the land where I was born and bred

[Lange Frans & Baas B]
Come from the land with the most different cultures per square meter
But one is frightened to have dinner with the neighbours
And integration is a fantastic word
But, s**t it's f**king bollocks when no-one does it
I share my country with Turks and Morrocans,
Antillians, Molukkans and Surinamese
The land where we all hold back far too much
And are represented internationally by Harry Potter
The land where apartheid is internationally
the best known word of the Dutch language
Come from the land ticking like a timebomb
The land that eats at six o'clock but is never on time
This is the land where I shall triumph in the end
Until you sing this song in the terraces of the ArenA
End tit that time I promise I have pledged my heart
This is for Holland, Baas B, Lange Frans
