Van Dannen in 2010

Franz-Josef Hagmanns-Dajka (born 1958^[1] in Tüddern, Netherlands, now Germany), known professionally as Funny van Dannen, is a German singer, songwriter, author, and painter of Dutch origin.

He sings about politics, society, sexuality, religion, and many other topics, usually humorously. He accompanies his songs with guitar, sometimes with harmonica. He founded the band Lassie Singers. Since 1978 he has lived in Berlin. He is married and has four sons.

The punk band Die Toten Hosen interpreted some of his songs, notably Trauriges Arschloch, Bayern, Frauen dieser Welt, and Lesbische, schwarze Behinderte. Die Schröders, another punk rock band, made his song "Saufen" more famous.
