"Flappie" is a novelty song originally recorded by Dutch comedian Youp van 't Hek in 1978. The lyrics describe a boy who is angry with, and presumably kills, his father for cooking their family's pet rabbit on Christmas. It became a popular song in The Netherlands, and it has been played as part of the rotation of Christmas music every year since its release.[not verified in body] Since 2003, it has made regular appearances in the annual Radio 2 Top 2000.[1] In 2020, an English-translated version was recorded by American musician Todd Rundgren.
