When discussing inbred royals, let's not forget Russia and Denmark. Prince Philip is descended from both.

It is actually "Ben ik van Dietschen bloed". Guess it's the earliest misheard lyric?
Diets is not the same as Duits.
Diets is Midden Nederlands. Middle Dutch.

Never believe your own propaganda, deutscher Blutsbruder.  That particular "explanation" for the lyric was a scrambled last ditch (or Dutch) effort to underplay the moffe-connection - at a time when Dutch-German relations were, uhum, somewhat (re)strained. It's been historically disproven.

It's like saying Jesus wasn't really Jewish.

So you're saying that explanation is lying in a ditch somewhere?

Or rolled off a dike, who knows? 

Let's put it this way: Given my fatherland's historical excursions into Western terrain, I have all sympathy for the somewhat labored "Dietschen"-interpretation. Who wants to be related with people who attack out of the blue and seize the country? The unfortunate thing about relatives is that you don't really get to choose them!

Isn't that the truth.

I wonder what said dike would have to say about it.
