It's not a dutch proverb. It's a play on words. It's a "dutchified" version of "Crack and Smack". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.160.50.198 (talk) 12:43, 14 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

It's not a dutch proverb. It's a play on words. It's a "dutchified" version of "Crack and Smack". Uhh, no.. It comes from dutch proverb "daar zit kraak noch smaak aan".. K&S turned the proverb around from being negative to positive by changing "noch" into "&".. The original roughly translates to "it has no schwung nor flavour". K&S send a letter to the uk record label with a list of possible names. The label didn't choose any of those names instead the label fancied the name of the business of one of the producers which was mentioned in the Letterhead. They interpreted it as "Crack and Smack".
