You can also INVALID -- Facebook Badge END -- Because of their reliance on a unique combination of politically critical lyrics and catchy beats and melodies, some of these songs managed to penetrate into mainstream Dutch media, most markedly the song 'Balken van Ellende' - a satirical song about the Dutch prime minister - which ended up being used in a news quiz on national television, where two questions were asked about the song (see videos). He also played all instruments and vocals on all songs, except on the album (produced by the African American producer Forrest Thomas) and on the Dutch song 'Doe Maar Multicultureel'. In these songs, Doc Jazz collaborated with prominent professionals from the Dutch jazz and fusion scene. His music can be found in a wide variety of styles ranging from piano ballads to funky music with a groove and with a taste of Doc Jazz's characteristic rock guitar solos (and on 'Front Door Key' the mesmerizing saxophone solos of Susanne Alt) - in three languages:. A Palestinian short shepherd's flute called the is also often featured in the songs. One last note: don't assume the music of Doc Jazz is only political! If you scroll through the vast collection of songs, you will find many songs about other subjects of love, and of life!

Lyrics
So You tried to call the henchmen To hang me on a rope So You tried to undermine me And thought I wouldnt cope And You tried to vilify me And leave me without hope But your evil and your wickedness Were disgracefully exposed That is the way Of an ignoble man What goes around will come around Theres no escaping The boomerang Even though you think you can So .. You cooked up your conspiracy And waited for your chance You saw an opportunity And went into a trance So eager in your thirst for blood You took a faulty stance You dragged them right into your scheme And danced the traitors dance That is the way Of an ignoble man What goes around will come around Theres no escaping The boomerang Even though you think you can So Let me tell you about the boomerang You'll know when it arrives Its shape you may not recognize But its wings can cut like knives But the main thing about the boomerang Is that it returns to those who threw And when it strikes them they will know The only one to blame is you
