"Flappie" is a novelty song originally recorded by Dutch comedian Youp van 't Hek in 1978.

The lyrics describe a boy who is angry with, and presumably kills, his father for cooking their family's pet rabbit on Christmas.

The next day, the father's bed is empty, and the boy repeats what his mother told him earlier: that she is not allowed to look in the tool shed, and if she plays nicely she will get a treat.

Because of the popularity of the song, there has been numerous cases of vandals breaking into rabbit cages around Christmas time, with the intention of re-creating parts of the "Flappie" lyrics.

[citation needed] In 2020, Todd Rundgren recorded a version of "Flappie" with original English-translated lyrics.
