The Spotify Controversy: What’s Happening with ‘Dikke Pens (Clap Your Pens)’?
The world of digital music streaming is in the spotlight once again, as the unexpected removal of ‘Dikke Pens (Clap Your Pens)’ from Spotify has left fans and music enthusiasts bewildered. This carnival hit, a playful critique of social media influencers, was chosen as the 2025 carnival hit by thousands of people from Brabant.
Dikke Pens on Spotify: What Went Wrong?
The song by CV De Broken Stachels and René van Rooij has been a beloved anthem in the region, but since Friday, it has vanished from Spotify’s catalogue. The band, understandably, is in the dark about the reasons behind this sudden removal. “It’s really bizarre,” says Jop Roeland of the band. “We’re getting reactions and questions from people. Everyone wants to know why the song is no longer on Spotify, but we don’t know either."
The Mystery Deepens
One of the most puzzling aspects of this issue is the potential copyright infringement claim. The melody of ‘Dikke Pens’ is inspired by a song from ABBA, but Roeland asserts that the band is not the issue. "We have homemade all the music and filled everything correctly on Spotify," he confirms. "It’s just allowed, so that shouldn’t be the problem."
The band, however, acknowledges the possibility of technological glitches or updates. "A bot, that could be,” Roeland suggests, with a hint of cautious optimism. "There has been an update from Spotify, but for sure, we don’t know. We just hope it will be resolved quickly and are busy arranging that.”
The band also points to another intriguing piece of the puzzle. "A lot of influencers don’t mix with local hits like this and they don’t want any competition with their music on Spotify streaming services".
The Unprecedented Popularity of ‘Dikke Pens (Clap Your Pens)’ on Spotify
‘Dikke Pens (Clap Your Pens)’ is more than just a carnival hit; it’s a cultural phenomenon. The song has resonated deeply with audiences due to its irreverent take on social media culture. With a social media winking message against all the influencers especially this year which got a considerable recognition from lot of the Kies Kraker followers.
Previous Controversies on Spotify
"It’s not the first time that happening on Spotify, last year there was another incident that happened with gullie lagerfantje when Gullie lagerfantje song ‘Ladders zat’ was initially scrapped from Spotify, but later it was taken back.” Described Ladders zat as Kies Kraker winner, but the initial copyright issue proved extremely complicated for gullie and lagarfantje*."
