De Stratemakeropzeeshow (English: The road worker at sea show) was a Dutch children's television programme that ran from 1972 to 1974 and was aired by the VARA broadcasting organization.
[1] The show was regarded controversial because it tackled topics what were then considered not morally acceptable and for its song "Poop and Pee Minuet".
[6] In 2009, the show was added to the Canon van zestig jaar kindertelevisie, a list of the most important Dutch children's programmes ever made.
Important lyrical contributions were by Willem Wilmink;[16] other lyricists were Karel Eykman (writing as Hendrik Blaak) and Hans Dorrestijn.
Joost Prinsen's main character was Erik Engerd (free translation Eerie Eric), an alter ego that still stuck to the actor for years after.
[19] Aart Staartjes played the title character Stratemaker op zee (Road worker at sea), abbreviated Straat.
