Holiday Rap
MC Miker G & DJ Sven
This is what happens when you take two songs of the same title and mash them together. Cliff Richard's "Summer Holiday" and Madonna's "Holiday" are haphazardly thrown together as two Dutch white guys 'claim' to rap over the top. DJ Sven, the one who looks like Borat after blowing his dole money on a day out in Scope, and MC Miker G, the 'Timmy Mallet as a Legionnaire' guy offer their take on the hip-hop scene with hilarious results.
The main 'plot' of the song tells a story about how the two friends plan on ringa-ranga-donging for a holiday. Whatever that means, but it's irrelevant as DJ Sven points out that his 'partner', MC Miker G's rap is stronger than any sucker MC, and that's all that matters at the end of the day. If you're struggling to decide whether or not these guys are credible rap icons or just crass parodies of the era, then just listen to the beat-box 'he will play'. The "beat-box" of course, is just some heavy-breathing and some noises from that 'Rainforest' preset that you get on old keyboards once you pass the Timpanis and the Gunshot banks (around #120+).
There is a darker side to all these fun and games however. I'm not an advocate of glamorizing drug use in the media and one line in particular "and we take a little of Amsterdam... riiiight!?" just isn't subtle enough. Frankly, it encourages Dutch teenagers to go on furious drug-fueled Eurobenders and I would probably say this song is responsible for the rise in drug culture surrounding today's modern hip-hop scene. Why this song wasn't banned, I have no idea, if I wasn't 3 at the time, I would have gone all Mary Whitehouse on their pale Dutch asses.
But again I digress, and I'm joking clearly as this song is a full-on rib-tickler. The number of trousers I've soiled from hearing this song is a triple digit figure. If you're already a fan of this then you'll understand how awfully great it is, or if you're just being broken in then ENJOY!
