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.
Supergabber
Hakkûhbar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Teacher) Hoezo jou gymspullen vergeten wat heb je aandan!
Toen ik nog een kleine gubberkop was
Was ik de pispaal van de klas.
Ik werd veel meer geplaagd en gepest
Omdat ik anders dan "hun" was.
Ze scholden me altijd voor alles uit.
Maar nu hebt ik schijt aan iedereen
Want supergabber is de best.
Want ik ben kaler dan kaal,
Strakker dan strak,
Wreder dan wreed
Vetter dan vet!
SUPERGABBERRRR.
Chorus:
Strak strak in mijn trainingspak, -pak
Kijk eens hoe ik hak hak
Lekker uit me dak
Tot in de vroege morgen (2x)
(Teacher) Doe dat petje af, en je ogen open kale sufkop.
SUPERGABBERR
Ik krijg die beat niet uit me kop (2x)
School is voor mij de juiste plaats
Om lekker bij te komen
Ze lullen de oren van de kop
Maar ik zit de hele dag te dromen
Helemaal klaar met dat slappe gezeik.
Nee , je maakt me echt niks wijs (HAH)
Duizend kale koppen in een grote hal
Ja , dat is voor mij het paradijs.
Want ik ben kaler dan kaal,
Strakker dan strak,
Wreder dan wreed
Vetter dan vet!
SUPERGABBERRRR.
Chorus:
Strak strak in mijn trainingspak, -pak
Kijk eens hoe ik hak hak
Lekker uit me dak
Tot in de vroege morgen (2x)
(Teacher) Dat continent heet niet Ausie , dat heet Australië.
SUPERGABBERRR
(Teacher) Zou meneer Supergabber zo vriendelijk willen zijn om even wakker te worden, en voor de kost te verschijnen.
Of heeft hij het weer te druk gehad dit weekend
Chorus:
Strak strak in mijn trainingspak, -pak
Kijk eens hoe ik hak hak
Lekker uit me dak
Tot in de vroege morgen (2x)
Als ik het weekend overleef dan zie je me maandag weer ,he

The song "Supergabber" by Hakkûhbar tells the story of a young boy who used to be bullied in school for being different from the others. As he grew up, he embraced his uniqueness and transformed into a confident and self-assured "Supergabber," who wears a tight training suit and dances wildly all night long. The lyrics are a celebration of individuality, self-love, and the joy of dancing.
The first verse sets the context of the song, as the singer forgets his gym clothes and gets reprimanded by his teacher. The second verse describes his earlier struggles with bullying and rejection. The chorus celebrates his transformation into a confident and admired "Supergabber," who is "strakker dan strak" (tighter than tight) and "vetter dan vet" (fatter than fat). The last verse indicates his dissatisfaction with school and his desire to dance and party with other "kale koppen" (bald heads).
Overall, the song celebrates the Gabber subculture, a Dutch hardcore techno scene that emerged in the 1990s, characterized by fast beats, aggressive basslines, and energetic dancing. The lyrics use typical Gabber slang, such as "gubberkop" (a slang word for a kid or teenager) and "hakken" (a dance style that involves jumping and stomping on the music's beat).
