Welcome, Iperenizers, to your creative hub for the Van Iperen International 15th Anniversary Song! We're on a mission to create a musical masterpiece. The secret ingredient? Your creativity!
The Melody & The Mission
The melody is a total classic—"YMCA" by the Village People! We need your help to finish the lyrics, and to get you started, here is a link to the original song:
At least you're not dealing with a 10-minute version of it! Our committee, composed of Zahi, Christian, Anouk, and Marine, has already prepared the first verse and chorus to get the creative juices flowing.
[Verse 1] Grower, there's no need to feel down,
I said Grower, pick yourself off the ground
I said Grower, 'cause your crops feel bad
There's no need to be unhappy
Grower, there's a team by your side
I said Grower, when your crops do need love, you can
Give them the best products in town,
Let us I – PER – EN - IZE them!
[Chorus] Your crops will love it, go V.I.I., yeah!
Our team is there for you, V.I.I., yeah!
We have everything for your crop to feel good
You can relax and just enjoy!
From Holland to the world, go V.I.I., yeah!
In every country, on all crops, V.I.I., yeah!
It’s been 15 years, just making the Greenswitch,
Hope it will last for many more!
Your Mission: Write the Lyrics!
Now for the fun part: we need your help to write the next two verses! We're looking for lines that capture our journey, our values, our inside jokes, and the spirit of Van Iperen. Think about the last 15 years—the successes, the challenges, the unforgettable moments. You can submit lines, full verses, or even just a few keywords. No idea is too silly or too small. Who knows? With lyrics this good, you might just get a call from Taylor Swift herself!
How to Submit Your Lyrics
- Fill out our submission form to share your creative ideas.
- The deadline is Wednesday, September 24, at 12:00 PM.
The committee will finalize the song on Wednesday evening, and we'll reveal the final version for a group sing-along at the dinner party on Thursday! Get ready to sing your heart out!
