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
Well I keep my eyes on the road While I'm driving in cruise control Cause you don't wanna get flashed When your new ride is on a roll And so my eyes Are poised for those signs I don't mind But I just wanna be on time I'm in the fast lane But it's so insane Looks like I'm late Im bein delayed I'm in the fast lane So please make way Cause I don't want To make her wait Well I told that ole judge That I was only tryin to be on time But he never budged And he went straight for the maximum fine rear lights gleaming While the sun is setting in the sky won't they make way oh lord I wish that this car could fly
