Bus is happy: ‘I also benefit from my name, because I am an artist and it is very useful if people remember your name well. Once they spot the joke, they won’t forget me. ‘
For the fourth time on crazy names list
Mette Bus left Bennie Weijs and Lieve Lingen behind. The shortlist was further completed by Co de Kraker, Bé Thalen, Nies Slim, Dino Saris, Rocky Dool, Elke Gram – Raak and Connie Boere.
Mette Bus said in an initial response to Radio 538: ‘What nice news, very special. I’ve already landed on such a crazy list of names four times, so I really like that I won once. ‘
Jack Pot and Kenny Boeijen
Mette Bus joins an illustrious list of previous winners: Mat Ras, Jack Pot, Chris Mus, Kenny Boeijen and Ferry Kuhlman. Every year, the roguish DJ duo is looking for the best, funniest and most original name in the Netherlands.
Name street sign
In addition to the honor, Mette Bus will also receive a famous street sign. ‘We will send it to her, because by bus from Groningen to Hilversum …’, says DJ Coen Swijnenberg.
Mette Bus has been democratically chosen as the winner. Listeners could put forward names and vote for their favorite in recent weeks.
