Ronflonflon

Ronflonflon is a Dutch radio show which ran from 1984 to 1991. Starring Wim T. Schippers as fictitious host Jacques Plafond, he would talk over records or cut them off if he didn't like them. It gradually expanded to a sketch comedy series with more eccentric characters added.

* Since Schippers also wrote and starred in the Dutch Ernie and Bert records, as Ernie, he often used tracks on the show, with Plafond adding his own commentary.
* A recurring segment on the show, "De Godvergeten," paid tribute to celebrities who died recently. The February 22, 1989 broadcast saluted Joe Raposo and included "Bein' Green." On the same show, during the end credits, the Dutch version of "Sing" is played (at first overlapping with the previous song). Afterwards, Ernie and Bert (played by Paul Haenen) appear for an interlude, in a new dialogue scene.Ronflonflon Aflevering 229. February 22, 1989. Raposo segment at 49:20, "Sing" at 56:11, Ernie and Bert at 57:29.
* "De Godvergeten" on May 22, 1990 saluted Jim Henson, playing part of the album version of "I Hope That Something Better Comes Along." Plafond makes remarks on his passing and the planned memorial service, and then he speaks by telephone to call-in guest Prof. I. A. Diepenhorst, a Dutch politician. Jacques asks him about Jim Henson, but the professor hasn't heard of Ernie, Bert, or Sesamstraat, and his memory is only jogged when the host brings up Miss Piggy.Aflevering 294. May 22, 1990. Jim Henson segment at 30:15.
