Alfred J. Kwak English opening

[SteffersFavourites]

Seriously, this was possibly the first anime I ever watched as a kid. The British dubbing was terrible though, honestly.

[toverkleet]

Ooh god this hurts my ears! Jees... The original song is far better

[rococoness]

FULL OF FAIL. dutch version ftw :(

[devilkera]

DUTCH FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ryosolo]

The Dutch version of the song and series are the orginals. It was made up from an idea of Herman van Veen and worked out into a cartoon by japanese drawers:) Anyway, can anyone tell me where the Egnlish version was shown? I didn't even know that there was an English version o.o

[drasl]

@Ryosolo

lol, I came here looking for the Icelandic version :)

[Shadowlight023]

Can someone give me the english lyrics?

[chibignoufs]

lol im dutch this is the first time i heard the english

i just discoferd 2 days again the origenail is dutch :p

[SupermarokkaanMo]

fucked up beyond all recognition

Herman van Veen FTW!!

[nierengegend]

...a lovely town in waterland, where live is grand - I want to strive along Alfred and Hank...

[EXCALIBOUR17]

i loved this cartoon as a kid!..

[toverkleet]

@EXCALIBOUR17 look for the dutch opening, the music is far better even though u probably dont understand the lyrics

[Medrarcool]

the english lyrics (the sense) is totaly different to the original

(Herman van Veen = epic )

[johangaatapen]

Herman van veen is much much MUCH! BETTER!!! Hes dutch just like me!

Who thinks herman van veen is better?

[PrincessSopherian]

The Dutch one is way better

[90321250]

What?! Why didn't Herman van Veen, the original singer, sang the English version? This sucks!

[HlerLogiKari]

Could someone please post the lyrics?

[Saahneprincess]

omg >___<

it sounds so typical english

i love japanese and german one much more

this one is just funny

i like the lalalala...it sounds omg ^^'

[Zeanu]

@Saahneprincess And you know what? Those sound typically Dutch, German and Japanese... what's your point? Learn to appreciate it all! ^ ^

[Saahneprincess]

@Zeanu naah i don't wanna bully...and i also know that the other ones also sound typically...but...*how to explain...*

it was my firtst time hearing this song in english...and i think wow...it sounds like an opening of a cartoon or something...*Sorry that i can't explain so good...it was just the feeling i had, when i heard it for the first time*

[Zeanu]

@Saahneprincess Hmmm I think I understand you, don't worry! This song is very 80s, though. Reminds me of the Raccoons!

[jptothemax02]

does he appear in that costume in any episode at 1:10?

[NRfun]

Everyone's saying dutch version is better. But ofcourse the dutch version is better, I'm mean: The dutch version is the original version, and original is always the best! :)

It's the same as seeing a manga in enlish instead of Japanese, or seeing a disney movie in dutch instead of english. It's allways better in the original version. :D But still I think it's awesome that a cartoon made in Holland was so good that it was shown on tv in so many different countries!

[megadracosaurus]

dutch version is way better!

[TheFanpire0203]

The German lyrics are different :D

[syrusdavirus08]

4 people were fans of dolf !!

[simonstadin]

In Sweden, it's Jeremias.

[chaincells]

HENK the mole xd.

[XenoXray]

This intro sounds so cheesy

[daan1212snoekkie]

sorry but the dutch version is so much better!!!

[Phoonguy]

@daan1212snoekkie no english is the best, thats why most of the world speaks it

[HaloReplicas]

@Phoonguy See, the funny thing is, the dutch version is actually the original.

The english version sounds kind of, off.

The actual music is also made by a dutchman.

[DoomZappo]

@Phoonguy Yeah, you're right. Most of the world speaks English just because the English version of Alfred J. Kwak sounds better in your opinion.

[munkki100]

Alfred Jonathan Kwak? isint it Alfred Jodocus Kwak or did they change it?

[Saartje05]

@munkki100 In English it's Jonathan, in Dutch Jodocus.

[munkki100]

@Saartje05 as far i know it is Jodocus in all langues exept english but in not sure.

[KajiRider1997]

Ugh.... Sorry UK but the Dutch version is waaaaaaay better.

But cheer up you guys still got the Doctor :)

[Phoonguy]

@KajiRider1997 no dutch stinks of garlic

[KajiRider1997]

@Phoonguy That's Italian.... And I'm both :P

[Phoonguy]

@KajiRider1997 o.........k ur point?

[KajiRider1997]

@Phoonguy non. lol

[Vladdyboy]

I'll seldom wear a frown.

[minkdevil]

was there another english theme song? i remember it being different :L

[DaDASHDevil]

@WhiskerLoL haha i know right? it just doesnt sound right without herman van veen's voice...

this one is the worst though... finnish: /watch?v=y6L4XVRkKL0

:S

[AlfredJKwakUKDVD]

There's now a petition to get Alfred J Kwak onto English Dvd. If you want to see this show brought back please sign the petition!

[thehoff1982]

dj cat axed this off sky in the early 90's - what a tit!

[OneShotOneBill]

Listen to the Finnish intro... You will never want to hear about Finland again after that...

[Tabbimura]

@OneShotOneBill

I have listened. Children choir...so what??

[OneShotOneBill]

@Tabbimura It sounds horrible! :D Finnish is everything but a beautiful language...

[Tabbimura]

@OneShotOneBill

Listen to "Kalevala" and you will have change of heart.

[OneShotOneBill]

@Tabbimura Nah, nope :D I've listened both the Finnish and the English versions. Finnish is my native tongue, so I'd think I know pretty well :D

[ZWIPPMANN]

You know what's wierd about this show?

well now that I watched this as an adult I understand that this show had alot of content that's very untypical for children cartoons, like politics, guns (guns wtf?!) etc.

[o0SouthparkGirl0o]

Alfred JONATHAN Kwak? DD: ...oh come on, you could at least call him "Joker", that would be the correct translation.

still, the lyrics are cute :3 but I prefer the "Lalala" Part in German with the Voices of van Veen and Alfred's german and dutch voice ;3;

[19alexander95]

this version... sucks.

sorry but the Dutch version is just Beautiful!

[thehoff1982]

anybody remember this from the DJ Cat show? it was usually followed by the teenage mutant hero turtles!

[2105angelika]

So cute song =)

[multibang1]

I loved this show. :D

[Highlander01]

Haha, this used to be broadcasted at about 4am in the mornings in the UK. I can still remember the theme tune.

[meisterfellfrosch]

the german and dutch themes are much better than this.

i'm missing the duck singing.

[HandeToon]

Cheezy lyrics but the singing is about a million times better than the version I watched as a kid (the Finnish one).

[Balnazzardi]

@HandeToon Yea, but otherwise the finnish voiceacting is so much better than the original dutch or german...especially Dolf's voiceacting :P

[Madelonetj]

GAWD THIS WAS THE BEST CARTOON EVER ^^

[nux86]

Can anyone post the lyrics of the song here? Thanks!

[MeatMaggot]

Nah, the Dutch and German version (which were both supervised by Herman van Veen himself) are far superior. Great series nonetheless, no matter the language.

[DjTerrorfabriek]

@NLMitchel hehe i like the english version more XDD but yeh anyway.. Good Old Times..

[DefyantLove]

fuck... a... duck... ive been looking for this all my life! christ, im sure there was a dragon in it somewhere! or maybe it was that thing in the hood! doesnt he get cooked in a jungle?? jesus, bloody dutch!!

[dregoth22]

@DefyantLove there was one, i think it was only in an episode or two though

[DefyantLove]

@dregoth22 yeh i watched the one were he's in the jungle, it's actually quite an upsetting scene for children id say. cant find the episode with the dragon but i remember there's an earthquake

[nickvanruiven]

Great to finally hear the English version of this after having heard the Dutch version a zillion times!

[labombaNL]

our favorite dutch duck <3333

[vellis321]

It was also broadcasted in Spain, I remember seeing this series when I was a little girl.

[rurmundo]

apesta y es muy malo

[SemperLupePR]

Ah our Dutch duck :))

[zietz61]

@SemperLupePR hup alfred:)

[NLMitchel]

Yep, i remember it like it was yesterday, but i like the Dutch theme song even more than this one.

[CynthiaShirona149]

@NLMitchel well at least it's a lot better than it being american dubbed, cause you'll never see british dub ever again nowerdays!

[wowhalofreak2]

@NLMitchel cause the dutch theme is the orignale :D
