The massive and immediate popularity of Hakkûhbar was the cause for a few spin-offs to occure, almost simultaneously. Gabber Piet, De Mosselman, Gabberwijffie and several other acts jumped on the bandwagon, by releasing happy hardcore versions of well-known children's songs and nursery rhymes. Hakkûhbar's 'Gabbertje' was followed by another three singles released by the band; 'Super Gabber' (#1 in The Netherlands and based on 'Can Can', from George Bizet's 'Carmen'), 'Gabbersaus' (own composition), and the double A-sides single 'Feestbeest'/'Gabber Love' (the latter being a R. Kelly cover). Only one album appeared, 'Vet Heftig!', in 1997. A televised film was made, which was available on VHS in 1997 and released on DVD in 2004.
The 1997 parodies caused the gabber scene to be taken less serious by the mainstream audience and popular artists in the genre rapidly vanished from the charts as a result. Barely two years after the first single by Hakkûhbar, happy hardcore was being completely ignored by the biggest pop radio stations in Holland, mostly in favour for popular cross-over club anthems and the then up-and-coming genre trance (System F, Tiësto, Gouryella). Although Hakkûhbar never officially disbanned, there was no follow-up to the debut album, mostly due to the fact the gabber scene faded from the public eye shortly after Hakkûhbar's claim to fame. Founder Bob Fosko has since been involved in several musical projects and by November 2008, twelve years after 'Gabbertje' went to #1, Ruben van der Meer was in the Dutch charts again - now with fellow comedians of De Lama's.

Zo′n honderd miljoen jaar geleden
Leefde in 't drassig park
Dat wij thans als hoogt kennen
Een groep dinosaurussen
Die echt wreed uit hun dak gingen
De gabbersaurus!
Wreed uit je dak!
Stampen!
Stampen!
Wreed uit je dak
Stampen!

Waar zijn ze nou?
Hé, waar zijn ze nou?
Hé, k-kijk, hé
Da-daar komt een hele kudde!
Gabbersaurussen!
Daar komt een hele kudde!
Stampen!

Wreed uit je dak
The song "Gabbersaurus" by Hakkuhbar takes us back in time, a hundred million years ago, to a swampy park, which today we know as a "hoogt," or high ground. In this park lived a group of dinosaurs known as the "gabbersaurus." The lyrics describe them as being "wreed," which means cruel or savage, and they would go "uit hun dak," or crazy. The repeated refrain in the song is calling upon us to stomp our feet, to go wild like the gabbersaurus: "stampen, stampen, stampen!"
The song suddenly shifts when a whole herd of gabbersauruses appears. The excitement and frenzy intensifies, and we're called upon once again to let loose and go wild. This song is a reflection on the nostalgia for the hardstyle music and the early days of gabber. The lyrics paint a picture of a primal, prehistoric scene where the dinosaurs are the DJs and the gabbersaurs are the dancers.
Overall, "Gabbersaurus" celebrates the spirit of dancing and letting loose, and encourages the listener to let go of their inhibitions and engage in the primal act of stomping and dancing together.
