Why are children’s songs always so sweet and unrealistic. I think it is better to just be honest and tell the truth.
We received a CD with Dutch children’s songs and some of these songs were so very sweet and childish. I could not resist myself and made an improved and more realistic version. There are probably still some problems with the rhyme but that can be fixed.
Advantages compared to the original:
- Honesty about the public transport
- Added counting up to 10
- Removed ‘hakke, hakke’
