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.
