Cover art for Edam Anchorman lyrics by Super Furry Animals

I've been wondering about this song. I know it is meant to be funny but I was wondering if it was based off a Dutch newsman. Does anyone know? My Dutch teacher at my school has a brother who was a very handsome anchorman there and, of course, I am dying to know if this song could have been inspired by him because he was a real 'pretty boy' type and would fit the song. But I think news stations are out of the city of Hilversom, not Edam but then, Edam would work better in a song, less syllables. Anybody know anything?
