Jan Boezeroen (1933), stage name of Johnny Goverde, is a Dutch singer. The word 'boezeroen' is an old-fashioned shirt or blouse. The expression 'Jan Boezeroen' means something like 'the man in the street'. The singer is known for his 'life songs' ('levensliedjes'), carnival songs and easy sing-along party songs.
Jan Boezeroen released over 50 singles and scored with seven hits a place in the National Hit Parade Top 40. 'Vondel was good'/'Vondel was goed' (1979), with a number eight position, was his highest scoring hit. It also became populair in dancing schools, because the melody is a waltz.
Other songs by Jan Boezeroen are 'The bottle'/'De fles' (1970), 'Pub in Brabant'/'Brabants café' (1981); and 'When I finally had everything'/'Toen ik eindelijk alles had' (1985).

The above song 'Vondel was good'/'Vondel was goed' is a translation of the American song 'Sweet violets' by Dinah Shore, 1951 (written by Cy Coben and Charles Grean). It is a classic example of a 'censored rhyme' (or 'mind rhyme' or 'teasing rhyme'): the expected rhyme of each couplet is replaced with an unexpected word.
Johnny Goverde (Jan Boezeroen) translated the song himself. The original songtext is also about a farmer and a girl. The first lines, for example, read: 'There once was a farmer who took a young miss / In back of the barn where he gave her a (kiss) / Lecture on horses and chickens and eggs / And told her that she had such beautiful (legs) / Manners (...)'.
The name Vondel refers to the very famous Dutch poet Joost van den Vondel (1587-1679). In the 17th century, the Dutch 'Golden Century', he wrote plays and poems that are still famous today. The Amsterdam 'Vondelpark' (with his statue) is named after him; he has a big memorial gravestone in the Amsterdam New Church; and for many decades his portrait was on the Dutch 5 guilder banknote.
