Song with mayor of Maastricht

In 2006, Heideroosjes made international news by making a song with the mayor of Maastricht , Gerd Leers. In this song, called “Dope man”, they mock the Dutch soft drug policy, which in their eyes is hypocritical. A few weeks later the Dutch minister of Justice, Piet Hein Donner , recorded a rap song with rapper Meester G responding to “Dope man” by defending his soft drug policy. Later that year Heideroosjes record their eighth album with Los Angeles-based producer Cameron Webb, who worked with bands like Motörhead , Ignite , Social Distortion and Silverstein . Motörhead singer Lemmy features on the song “My Funeral”. Even as Ignite lead singer Zoli Teglas sings in the song “Forgotten Continent”.
