I lived in Germany when this song came out, I was 25 and you couldn’t go to a club without hearing this song time and again. And here it is 37 years later and this song takes me right back to Frankfurt and the bars in Sachsenhausen. Damn, that was some good times.
I just came across this song 2 months ago. Can't believe it didn't make it to the States😢 But there's just nothing like 80s rap anymore...rap back then told a story and you could understand most of the lyrics. Good rap ended with the 90s, today's rap sucks ass and all the young rappers try to sound exactly the same as each other plus autotuned. SKERRRRT....Racks on Racks on Racks.....With the exception of Migos, they're pretty cool.
"I can understand the things most rappers say because rapping is the thing and I do it every day. I'm the number one rapper, yo, my name is Sven. I can rap more raps than Superman can." Really, hip-hop hasn't changed at all over the years.
We can't, it takes a special type of corny to have that courage to show us that feelings are ok. See back then people didn't mind being good but now because good makes people feel all funny inside they've dubbed it as mega corny so people don't have the courage to be corny in public anymore. The only thing is we didn't realize how much we actually like corny until corny was gone.
@@couchman-sw6jy exactly... It made people able to switch off the thug and enjoy some togetherness sometimes. Now everyone thinks that it's cool to cuss in front of their parents...

Estuve escuchando la radio, hace unos 5 meses atrás, hasta que sonó esta canción casi de la nada, creí que se trataba de la versión de Madonna hasta que pude reconocer que era otra versión gracias a Shazam. Esta gema tiene el poder de hechizar los oídos de lo movida y fresca que es, tranquilamente pudo ser lanzada unas décadas más tarde y sentirse igual de fresca. No soy fanático del hip hop, pero debo decir que los intérpretes dan cátedra de rap al sonar tan fluídos (creí en un inicio que eran norteamericanos y me llevé una grata sorpresa al saber que eran neerlandeses) y en un idioma que no es el materno. Saludos desde Perú.
In the Netherlands, the vast majority of the population can speak English, while it is estimated that the level of English proficiency ranges from 90% to 93% of the population of the Netherlands. Factors contributing to a high degree of English proficiency are the similarity of the two languages, the small size of the country, dependence on international trade and the use of subtitles in foreign languages on television rather than sound dubbing.
Just heard this for the first time today as I was driving in France, couldn't believe I never heard it before as I love the Holiday by Madonna....the spirit on this rap track is so uplifting, just good and happy vibes....and so 80's....love it ❤
This song blows my mind, as a inspiring musician, i literally live for everything CrEatiVe put into things, 2:00 minutes that little duette of hand in hand beat-boxing blows me away how he reverbs his vocals & Mikey G with his effects which are that of an old radio switching between stations, then i know the last second chorus run was a vocal sampling, that is simply amazing! this song has so much amazing things in it!
that vocal sampling melody was very in fashion right then, Holiday Rap would definitely have taken its cue from .. ua-cam.com/video/BtHbF7Ps7wQ/v-deo.html
I did not see this episode of top of the pops when it was first broadcast. For years my favourite T.v shows were the repeats on b.b.c 4, they brought back memories. Two ladies can be seen in the background, they are dancing in white dresses. I think I recognise the brunette! I have this watched this video many times!

It made me cry laughing as a schoolgirl - it still makes me piss my pants, pop novelty hits used to be such a laugh in the 80s🤣 when they played this in clubs people would lose their shit😭
So awesome, I was 13 when this came out and it was on at every school dance or party we went to AND yes we did the steps lol thanks so much for posting!
I bet there was loads of lads at the disco with those cardigans on. Here in Dublin they were sold in the budget fashion shops called No Name and I had a green one lol
I haven't heard this since the 80s, I always remembered it being a bit rubbish, but it's way better than I remember! I like that the John Benitez/Madonna "sample" was recreated from scratch rather than sampled, they did a good job with it! :-)

OMG, I have been looking for this particular version since the 80's when I was a young drunk sailor overseas in the club ( I can't remember if it was The Phillipines, Singapore or Hong Kong when I was dancing with some young lovelies to this ☺️
I was into Run-D.M.C., LL Cool J, The Beastie Boys, etc, around the time this Dutch cheese classic was released.I remember me and a friend (who was also into proper rap music) burst out laughing when we heard this ridiculous tune the first time, still makes me giggle even now.
I've listened to and loved this song since the day I was born, for the goddamn life of me I can't figure out why Miker G sings a part obviously written for Dj Sven. "My name is MC Sven and I also DJ" *two seconds later* "That's right, my name is Miker G!"
Even though the type of rap music I love are the songs that make you think like Tupac, Eminem, and NWA. It's sometimes good to hear some raps that are just plain fun 😊

1986 was one of the most significant periods of my life. What I wouldn’t give to go back.
Favourite bit is when it goes "we're going to london, New York city, do do do do do do do do do"
"I can understand the things most rappers say because rapping is the thing and I do it every day. I'm the number one rapper, yo, my name is Sven. I can rap more raps than Superman can."
Really, hip-hop hasn't changed at all over the years.
"You don't stop, that party rock. You won't stop, that party rock"
I wonder if that was LMFAO's inspiration for the song "Party Rock"
White man's rip off of rapper's delight
Everytime I'm going on Holiday I play this song and do a special dance.
Only in London and New York City.
