ID students write carnaval hit ‘for all Jolandas’

Put on your fancy dress and sing along! Students of Industrial Design (ID) Stijn Zoontjens and Joep Elderman and former ID student Tom Raijmakers recently wrote the carnaval hit of the year – if they may say so themselves. As the Kaas Worst Scenario (the cheese sausage scenario) they’ve worked out an idea that originated at a party three years ago: Franse kaas met Jolanda (French cheese with Jolanda).

“A creative study results in your brain always searching for crazy ideas”, says Tom Raijmakers. One of those ideas originated at a party three years ago. “We were wondering about the actual lyrics to 'La Bamba'. Brainstorming, we came to the conclusion it had to be ‘French cheese with Jolanda’.” The first verse was a no-brainer, but the second was only written three weeks ago, when the friends decided it was time to carry out their initial plan. The lyrics don’t refer to a specific Jolanda, “but this song is dedicated to Jolandas around the world”. They’ll be making “a festive” video on Monday, probably in a student house. Although they’re doing it just for fun, they will try and market their song nonetheless.
