Johan & De Groothandel - As Dick Me Hullep Nodig Heb

Review by Dianne Hope

Album Review: As Dick Me Hullep Nodig Heb by Johan & De Groothandel Alright, let’s talk about this quirky little gem from 1994—As Dick Me Hullep Nodig Heb by Johan & De Groothandel. If you’re into Dutch pop with a side of parody, this one’s for you. Released under Bunny Music and brought to life by some seriously talented folks (shoutout to Chris Latul, Ferry de Groot, René v.d. Berg, and producer Peter Koelewijn), this album is like that oddball friend who always makes you laugh but still has something meaningful to say. Now, I gotta admit, when I first saw the tracklist, my eyebrows shot up. Titles like “As Dick Me Hullep Nodig Heb (Johan Internacionalos)” and “As Dick Me Hullep Nodig Heb (Jordi, Weg Met Die Bal)” sound like they were scribbled on a napkin during a late-night brainstorming session. But hey, don’t judge a book—or an album—by its title. These songs are pure gold if you’re in the mood for tongue-in-cheek humor mixed with catchy melodies. Let me break it down real quick. The opening track, “As Dick Me Hullep Nodig Heb (Johan Internacionalos),” hits you with this retro vibe that feels like you’ve been transported back to the ‘90s. It’s upbeat, kinda cheesy in the best way possible, and the lyrics? Oh man, they’re so over-the-top that you can’t help but chuckle. There’s something about how Johan delivers his lines—it’s like he knows exactly how ridiculous it all is, but he commits 100%. You’ll find yourself humming along even though you probably have no clue what half the words mean unless you speak Dutch. Then there’s “As Dick Me Hullep Nodig Heb (Jordi, Weg Met Die Bal).” This one stands out because it’s got this playful energy that reminds me of kids arguing over a soccer ball in the park. The chorus sticks in your head like gum under a table—it’s simple, repetitive, and oddly satisfying. Plus, the production has this raw charm to it; you can tell they weren’t trying too hard to make everything polished and perfect. Sometimes imperfection is where the magic happens, ya know? One thing I love about this album is the artwork. Big props to Jan Soek for nailing the illustration—it’s got that hand-drawn, slightly chaotic look that matches the music perfectly. And honestly, isn’t that what parody pop should feel like? Fun, unapologetic, and just a bit bonkers. Reflecting on As Dick Me Hullep Nodig Heb, I realize it’s not gonna be everyone’s cup of tea. Some might call it silly or niche, but maybe that’s why I dig it. In a world full of cookie-cutter albums, this one dares to be different. Sure, it won’t change your life or anything, but it’ll definitely give you a good laugh and a few earworms you didn’t know you needed. Oh, and here’s a random thought to leave you with: Did anyone else notice how many times the word “hullep” shows up? Feels like it could be the secret ingredient to their whole vibe. Anyway, grab a copy if you can find one—it’s worth it just for the nostalgia trip alone.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a fun fact: In 1994, a Dutch pop parody album called *As Dick Me Hullep Nodig Heb* by Johan & De Groothandel hit the scene. It was packed with humor and catchy tunes, produced by Peter Koelewijn, a legend in the Dutch music world. The album even had two versions of the same track—because why not? One version went full-on "Johan Internacionalos," while the other shouted out Jordi and his beef with a ball. Oh, and shoutout to Jan Soek for the artwork and Chris Latul, Ferry de Groot, and René v.d. Berg for crafting those laugh-out-loud lyrics. Definitely a wild ride from Bunny Music!
