The is a urban myth story in the Netherlands about a Mien Jeuken who was married with a Billekens, so her married name became Mien Billekens-Jeuken, which means something like "My buttocks itch".

The story is based on fantasy. On 7 December 2005 I received an email from Gerard Jeuken. In his youth he lived in Sevenum and was a friend of my uncle Theo Billekens. Gerard's mother's name was Mien Pouwels. “Imagine if your mother married my father, she'd be called Mien Billekens-Jeuken"And that's how the story was created:

As a result of this mail, the two old friends got back in touch with each other.

But the idea that this person would have really existed quickly makes a smile appear on the face. In August 2000, the newspaper De Limburger was even on a quest to find someone who knows or has known Mien Billekens-Jeuken.

Also in Venray, a village located next to Sevenum in Dutch North Limburg, the story of Mien Billekens-Jeuken is known. Wim Smits (probably) turned it into a carnival song, which was performed by the Venrayse Hofzangers in 1965:

Mien Billekes-Jeuken, Mien Billekes-Jeuken,
Zo hiet mien Mien now al die joare ien d’n trouw. -- (That's the name of my wife since all these years)
Mien Billekes-Jeuken, Mien Billekes-Jeuken,
want Billekes, dat ben ik, Mien Jeuken is mien vrouw. -- (as I'm Billekes, and Mien Jeuken is my wife)
Umdat Mien: Jeuken, en umdat ik: Billekes hiet, -- (because Mien is called Jeuken en I'm called Billekens)
ràkt zij de naam: Mien Billekes-Jeuken niet mèr kwiet. -- (she will never loose the name Mien Billekes-Jeuken againg)
Mien Billekes-Jeuken, Mien Billekes-Jeuken,
Zo hiet mien Mien now al die joare ien d’n trouw. -- (That's the name of my wife since all these years)
