Song Production Information
CAPTAIN JACK, who debuted in 1995 with their eponymous single Captain Jack, is a duo consisting of military-clad rapper Franky Gee and vocalist Liza da Costa. It charted number one in the Netherlands and Hungary, with their debut album recording 4 million sales in Europe. Their second album, Operation Dance, released in 1997, had consecutive hits with Together and Forever and a cover of Madonna's Holiday. This song, The Race, is a roaring guitar track.
Video Production Information
It's a race, just like it says. I didn't have to think too hard about ideas, but it was a little tough since I'm no expert on cars. The race queen's outfit is kind of questionable and she seems a little bashful. I wonder why she's wearing that getup?
