Those crazy Dutch… Love music

I bet this is a little known fact but it’s true. The Dutch love music and you can hear it! All you need to do is take a walk to the city and, sooner or later, you will find somebody whistling a tune. Yup, walking, in the middle of the city and whistling a tune. Or cycling and whistling. Or working and whistling.

And sometimes not even whistling, but singing. Oh yes, singing a tune is not uncommon. But, my eager and bright reader, by now your capable mind is probably asking how do I know the crazy Dutch don’t just like to whistle and don’t really care about music? And here is my turn to say – “I’ll tell you how I know”.

Let’s brake it down:

• To whistle something you need to know the tune, so you must know the song
• If you know the song it means you paid enough attention to it and heard it enough times that you know how the song goes
• And, unless you are some sort of masochist, you most likely enjoyed listening to that particular song to learn it

Hence if you whistle a song / some songs on a regular basis you must know love music. q.e.d, rest my case, etc.

And there is one more thing, some of the crazy Dutch told me they like music a lot. So the above was a useless waste of space with the sole purpose to show you my superior analytical skills, but anyway…

I love music myself, it’s one of my passions, up there with eating, therefore I admire, a lot, the crazy Dutch for being, so many of them, so musical. Hats off.

And as a proof that I’m not bullshitting you, my reader, I can tell you that the whistling thing was so contagious for me that I’m now doing it myself, although, as any Romanian knows, if you whistle inside a house you will bring upon yourself and that house all the worst imaginable forms of bad luck. Be amazed by my bravery!!!

Yup, the crazy Dutch love their music and I love that about them.

Tomorrow come back for yet another eye-opening revelation about the Dutch, keep on reading ;)
