About this sound
This is a brief nine-second excerpt of the cheerful Buurman en Buurman intro melody, a bouncy little tune with a light, playful bounce. It feels warm, silly and instantly nostalgic, like watching two well-meaning handymen start a job they cannot finish. It comes from Pat & Mat, the stop-motion comedy series broadcast in the Netherlands under its Dutch title.
