Ik Ben Een Gummibeer is the Dutch version of The Gummy Bear Song. It was produced by Essential Dance Music and released in 2008 on the Dutch release of I Am Your Gummy Bear. It was later re-released in 2017 for the The Gummy Bear Song: Around The World event.
As of September 21, 2023, it has been found by gaiarich.
Evidence[]
The Around The World mix has the most supporting evidence to back up a full version existing. At 1:30 in the song, a part of the song only heard in the full version plays, and when the verse unique to the full version is about to start, it abruptly cuts to the pitch change of the song.
The Muziekweb listing for the album also shows the song's length as being 3:12.
Search[]
Around 2020, former community member Bryce found a listing of the Dutch album on Muziekweb, a website cataloging the music collection of the Central Library of Rotterdam. The website provides a preview of the song, but to get the entire album, one would have to visit a local library in the Netherlands and obtain it there, which no one has managed to do yet.
Much later, a listing on a Japanese website was discovered, which listed the album as up for sale. On November 26th, 2020, community member bekzii purchased the album through a Japanese shipping proxy. Nothing came of the order for over a year, until the seller canceled the order in November 2021.
On September 20, 2023, Dutch user gaiarich has bought the album and ripped it.
As of September 21, 2023, community member TiSiah posted it onto their channel "MrRockstarFazbear", which can be watched here.
Hoax Media[]
Over the years, many fans on YouTube have uploaded fanmade versions of the full song as well as jokingly clickbait snippets. Some have used AI voice generators to recreate the Dutch soloist to sound more realistic but are quite easy to tell that they're not.
Around the World Version[]
The song is featured in the album "The Gummy Bear Song Around the World" as the shorter video version with an exclusive verse before the soloist. However, the vocals are subtly altered with the singer's voice being slightly deeper and most notably saying "beer" longer than in the original dub. There is a possibility that a full re-dubbed version of the song was recorded, but the existence is unconfirmed.
