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
No deal There is a reason for everything But in some things I'm an old fashioned guy People try their hands at anything They try to sneak their way to profit with a lie I dont work this way Because the word of a man Should be solid when he stands So look me in the face Cause if I see you're not for real We will never close the deal No deal If u wanna do business Better straighten out your act Or we can never interact No deal Tell me what is this Do you take me for a fool When you don't play by the rules Talking smooth wont get you anywhere I wasnt born yesterday and I am on to you You're trying to trick me to give up my share But you are a fool if u think that's what I will do You can jump high or low There is nothing you can say We're not gonna work this way You should have known Now you're the one who's losing out You never even tried to clear my doubts
