Friesenjung

🍵 Lore

A 2023 viral smash sampling Otto Waalkes' 1970s 'Friesenjung' (itself a German cover of Sting's 'Englishman in New York'). Joost, Berlin rapper Ski Aggu, and comedy legend Otto trade verses about Frisian identity, beer, gabber and Berlin nightlife. The song united North-German and Dutch Frisian pride and became one of the biggest German-language hits of the year.
