I replaced this file (for a few days) with:
http://www.euro-support.be/temp/marol.wma

It's the song "De Marollien" (S.Adamo/J.Elbers)
track 7 (of 19) from CD
Dureco 11-64552 "Jef Elbers, Eer Brussel vergaat"
The song is in Brussels dialect (with some French)

It's the story of a Brussels couple.
The wife's family prefers the couple to speak French.
The kid is ashamed of his "Flemish" speaking father.
The final advice makes publicity for Flemish schools.

- "speaking Flemish" needs to be understood as "speaking Brabantish
dialect from Brussels"
- "Vlaamse school" must be understood as a Dutch language school in
Brussels.
(none of the two refers to "real" Flemish dialect from the original
Flanders)

Some vocabulary:
- "ket" is a male speaker of Brussels dialect
- "fuur" (foor); etym. Fr. "foire", means "kermis" in Dutch ("ducasse"
in correct French)

Regards,
Roger
