I just found this video over on Fresh Creation and it totally made me grin-- hello, little bee! Aww, the anteater and the ant are totally getting along. Oh noes, the bee gots ated!

I was rendered to summertime three-year-old splendor. More videos and info about Fixkes, this lovely Belgium treat, over on Fresh Creation.

This makes me impatient for Little Big World.

I'm from Belgium, so I'll let you in about some secrets on Fixkes ;)
They are from Stabroek, near Antwerp (one of the biggest cities in Belgium). They sing in their own Stabroek language (which is a dialect of Dutch). In this song the singer is reflecting on what's his favorite (lievelings) animal (dier), but in the end he concludes by calling his girlfriend his favorite.

This song is their newest single, although it hasn't still become as big of a hit as their 2007 one called Kvraagetaan (which means something as asking whether someone wants to become your girlfriend as in "I want you to be my girlfriend") This song was on number one in the top 50-chart for over 17 weeks, which is the absolute record. You should look that song up, despite of what the song title says, it's not really about love but about them recalling their young live in the eighties. Well, I looked it up for you :) http://youtube.com/watch?v=jyJ6BmkS694

Now I have a question for you: how did you find this song? It's not known outside of Flanders (the Dutch speaking part of Belgium) and the Netherlands...

Hee! That's really neat. I especially love that he decides his girlfriend is his favorite animal! :)

I found the video randomly on the Fresh Creation link, above-- I'm not sure where they found it!
