Drs P - A Few Thoughts On Sinterklaas

Review by Arun Vekariya

Album Review: A Few Thoughts On Sinterklaas by Drs P Alright, let’s talk about A Few Thoughts On Sinterklaas by Drs P. If you're into quirky pop with a dash of novelty vibes, this 2016 release from the Netherlands might just be your jam. Released under TopNotch and Stichting Heen En Weer, it's not your typical holiday album—more like a playful nod to Sinterklaas wrapped up in some good old Dutch charm. First off, yeah, I noticed there are two tracks with the same name (A Few Thoughts on Sinterklaas), which is kinda funny but also confusing? Like, did they run out of ideas or was that intentional? Either way, it sticks in your head because how often do you see an album repeat itself so boldly? The first version has this bouncy, almost tongue-in-cheek energy that makes me picture someone awkwardly trying to explain Sinterklaas traditions to their foreign friend over coffee. You know what I mean? It’s lighthearted, catchy, and feels like a musical shrug—like, “Hey, here’s my take, don’t overthink it.” Then there’s A Dutch Christmas. This one hits different for sure. It’s got this cozy yet slightly sarcastic vibe, like those tacky sweaters people wear during the holidays—you secretly love ‘em even though you’ll never admit it. The melody feels nostalgic without being sappy, and the lyrics have these little nuggets of wit sprinkled throughout. Honestly, it’s the kind of song that sneaks up on you after a couple listens. Before you know it, you’re humming along while making oliebollen (or whatever Dutch snack fits the mood). What stands out about this album is its unapologetic weirdness. Drs P doesn’t try too hard to impress; instead, he leans into the absurdity of it all. And honestly, isn’t that refreshing? Most holiday albums are either overly sentimental or painfully generic, but this one? Nah, it’s got personality. Sure, it’s not gonna win any Grammys, but who cares when it’s this fun? Reflection time: Listening to A Few Thoughts On Sinterklaas made me realize something random—why don’t we have more songs about niche holidays? Imagine a whole genre dedicated to obscure festivals. Anyway, if you’re looking for something low-key entertaining with a side of Dutch flair, give this album a spin. Just don’t blame me if you end up Googling “What is Sinterklaas?” midway through.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a fun fact: The album *A Few Thoughts On Sinterklaas* by Drs P is a quirky novelty pop record that captures the humor and charm of Dutch holiday traditions. Released in 2016, it features tracks with almost identical titles, like "A Few Thoughts on Sinterklaas" and "A Few Thoughts On Sinterklaas," which might make you do a double-take. It’s like the artist wanted to keep things interesting—or maybe just playful. The album even throws in a tune called "A Dutch Christmas," blending Sinterklaas festivities with holiday cheer. Definitely a unique piece of Netherlands music culture!
