about

This song's iconic intro by keyboard master Rob Gaasterland starts with a Fender Rhodes Herbie-style, soon kicking in the boogaloo rock vibe, setting it up for Saskia's bluesy trumpet melody hitting after the break. This makes way for a standard jazz form A-A-Bridge-A chorus, followed by mellow US3-like "YA KNOW HOW WE DO" rap vocals by hip-hop artist Mack Maestro. Next is a funky flute solo by Ronald Snijders a.k.a. “Ronny S”, followed by Saskia's spirited trumpet solo, more tasty rap, and a melody to close. Then...a party at the end tag with shoutouts by Mack Maestro, Laroo and Gaasterland over Rob's fiery organ solo.

lyrics

(Mac Maestro:)
Musical flows from Amsterdam
When I wreck da dope rhyms
And come with da real
Bring the funk in the beats
This style is so unique
If you try to get the beats
You gotta have the feel
I see my girl Sassy Laroo giving funk
And Rob knows that
I am the wickedest man and I slam
Good Man

Spontaneous combustion

Hello it's me again
The one and only M A C K man
From Maestroland
As I rap rhyme styles
Ronny S on the flute
And we know how we do

Music guess that's me
I am the Mac Maestro
From the rhymes and the flow
This is the flow now
Look at me look at me kinda close
As I rhyme styles and she starts to blow
Sassy Laroo Rob and Ronny S
I rep-a-check's and you know how I attack
I love the funk and of course the jazz

Alright, we're outta here
We keep it real clear
As I drink the beers
But I gotta give cheers to Sassy Laroo
With me and myself
With the funky vibe flow

(Saskia & Rob & Mac Maestro:)
Move your body from left to right
