He also sings that he had a crush on his Afrikaans teacher before incorrectly saying in the language:

"Sy naam was Mevrou du Plessis (His name was Mrs du Plessis)."

Keith mistakenly used the Afrikaans pronoun 'sy,' which, in this context, refers to a man, while using the title 'Mevrou,' which relates to a woman.

The man also explained in his song that it was through SABC 2's previous hit soapie 7de Laan that he was able to learn the language.
