Uncle (Yosemite) Sam, the notorious gun-wielding trigger-happy loony toon - personified in George W. Bush saying: "I'm a war president. I make decisions here in the oval office with war on my mind." Hear him saying it in this song.

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
Look what you're doing man You gotta understand Don't wake up the sleeping bear Havent you seen his claws havent you seen his jaws there's no sense in going there You're the first who should know if this thing should blow who's gonna face the heat You're risking it all it's not your call there's no need to seek defeat Yosemite Sam Ever since you came It's always been the same You're nothing but trouble now You led those folks astray And made them go your way But you're bursting their bubble now You're the first who should know if this thing should blow who's gonna face the heat You're risking it all it's not your call there's no need to seek defeat Yosemite Sam
