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!

Photo Shock Photo Shock Used to be just a brand name Now it has become a verb Photoshop means u cover up the bad sides Its just as common as a blurb You can take a lousy picture Stretch and bend until its right U Photoshop all the pimples and the fat parts now ur such a lovely sight We live in the age of appearance Doesnt matter if its really right With some creative experience White can be black and black be white It seems a forward evolution Esthetics never hurt the eye Photoshop Its just like a little make-up No need to fuss about the dye The problem's not in pretty faces It's when ur turning on the news Photoshop The truth til it covers up the traces Of crimes committed in the name of their views Photo Shock Photo Shock
