While reading radom things on Wikipedia I came across the entry for "Zwarte Piet", which is Dutch for "Black Peter". The dutch Santa Claus (Sinterklaas) has Black Peter as his sidekick. Some legends say that Black Peter will steal bad children away. I don't imagine this is connected to the song, but it is worth checking out the Wiki for the picture alone. Apparently the Dutch think black-face is hilarious!
