Jan biggel’s Controversial Carnival Song Sparks Social Media Debate
Jan Biggel, a carnival singer from Boxtel, has recently stirred up important conversation online with his latest track, *’My Grandma Die Has ’n Stoma’*. The song, which delves into the sensitive topic of medical conditions, has sparked both criticism and praise across social media platforms.
Biggel, known for his humorous approach to storytelling, has not shied away from addressing the controversy. “It is a controversial song. I have already had a lot of shit thrown at me,” he admits. The singer, who has personal experience with the subject matter through his uncle, uses humor as a tool to open dialog about challenging topics. “My uncle could curse that thing, but he could also make fun of it,” he shares.
For those unfamiliar, a stoma is a surgical opening in the abdomen that allows waste to leave the body when natural functions are impaired. Biggel’s lyrics, such as “Grandma, grandma, you deserve a diploma for this scent,” have been met with mixed reactions. While some appreciate the candidness, others find the approach insensitive.“Songs can be fun, but not with diseases or with aids that are very tough for many people,” one Facebook commenter wrote.
“We met twice.”
Even his record label, Berk Music, initially hesitated before releasing the track. “They met twice about it before we decided to release it,” Biggel reveals. Despite the backlash, the singer remains committed to his message. “I did not choose the easiest path, I realize that. But I do make the subject open for discussion,” he states firmly.
Not everyone is critical of the song, however. Many who have firsthand experience with stomas or work in healthcare have found humor in Biggel’s lyrics. “Many people who have a stoma or nurses in hospitals can laugh at my song. You also experience very strange things with such a thing. What do you do? You laugh about it,” he explains.
“Nothing to do with carnival.”
some critics argue that the song detracts from the spirit of carnival. “Explain to them that this has nothing to do with carnival,” wrote one user, while another questioned, “Do you realize the misery that precedes it?” Despite these concerns, Biggel plans to perform the song during carnival festivities, drawing a parallel to comedy. “A comedian is allowed to talk about everything on stage and I’m not allowed to sing about this?” he asks.
As the debate continues, Biggel’s song remains a testament to the power of humor in addressing difficult subjects. Whether it’s seen as a step too far or a bold conversation-starter, *’My Grandma Die Has ’n Stoma’* has undoubtedly left its mark on this year’s carnival season.
In a lively pub setting, Jan Biggel belts out his song about his grandmother’s stoma, leaving the crowd both laughing and reflecting.
