1. MIKE (born Michael Jordan Bonema on October 13th, 1998) is a rapper originally from New Jersey but currently based out of New York City. He usually drops his projects on either of the solstices (June 21st or December 21st) each year.
2. MIKE is a punk rock band from Stockholm, Sweden.
MIKE started in January 2006 by Joel, Fredrik, Viktor and Jesper. The four guys from the southern part of Stockholm/Sweden had all played in different bands for years. Back in 1996 Viktor started a band called No Division with a friend. Jesper joined the band in 2000 (then called Pronoid), where they both played for five years. Joel played in the band Dechas, who released an EP on DayGlo Records in 2000 and an album on Shutdown Records in Australia in 2002. Fredrik had been playing in the band In Memory Of Me and in different bands before that. Jesper and Joel played together from time to time for a while and they both love punk rock, and when Jesper quit Pronoid they started talking about playing punk together. They talked to their old friends Viktor and Fredrik and started jamming some of Jespers songs and the result is what today is known as the band MIKE. After about a year our good friend Fredrik decided to quit the band to play with a reggae band from Uppsala. We then tried out two drummers but decided to pick one of Joel's old friends, Totte. He'd earlier been the drummer in bands like Milk bar, Devoured, Songea and Simpleton. Experience and routine was a fact. He'd actually only been in the band for about a week when he performed his first show with MIKE, and a week after that we went into the studio to record a couple of songs.

The Situation
Mike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Medication: may not work, so none's prescribed
What can you do when your savior's on vacation
It's up to you, but ya just won't change the station
Situation: the kids today just ain't the same
Tribulation: the fashion is raw, but the message is tame
Cover your eyes and follow the latest pop sensation
I've had enough of the situation
Standing in line with your mind on vacation
Walking the line for a tired nation
I've had enough of the situation
Situation: the well is dry and there's nothing to drink
Provocation: there's blood on the floor and there's flies in the sink
I won't go on waiting for some inspiration
I'll make my own, maybe with some provocation
Mike's song "The Situation" seems to be a criticism of modern society and the way people behave. Throughout the song, Mike uses a metaphorical "situation" to represent the state of the world around him. He begins by stating that nothing is worth his precious time, possibly indicating a lack of motivation or feeling unfulfilled. He also mentions medication, but says that none has been prescribed, suggesting that he is not finding a solution to his feelings of dissatisfaction.
Mike then shifts his focus to younger generations, saying that the kids today are not the same and that fashion is raw but the message is tame. He seems to be criticizing the current state of youth culture and the fact that people are easily influenced by pop sensations, as long as they have the right donation. Mike seems to be calling for people to think for themselves, make their own decisions, and not blindly follow what is popular.
The chorus of the song echoes Mike's frustration and calls for change. He says that he has had enough of the situation, whether it be waiting in line with his mind on vacation or walking the line for a tired nation. The final verse of the song highlights the desperation of the situation, with references to a dry well, blood on the floor, and flies in the sink. However, Mike seems to be taking matters into his own hands and making his own inspiration through provocation.

Why did they feed a baby that choking hazard of a food in the first place? Is the situation still pilled up when they made that decision? š¤·āāļø
@xXDanielXx321
Coz she knows how to handle it.
@freezy8593
Grammar pleaseā¦
@BizzyJ1987
In his earlier days Mike was so self-absorbed into himself. Now he's a good-natured man and father.
@ChucksCherubs3
One day, his son will get to watch his father on Jersey Shore. š¤
@Zenigundam
What is patting him on the back going to do? Ever hear of the Heimlich maneuver? "The Situation" is a complete rockhead.
@krystinfinity
The child is pretty small, so the Heimlich might cause more injury (the father's fist is practically the size of the child's stomach). He probably meant to thrust his hand on the back like how you would clear a blockage in a choking infant. But... he does not have the angle right at all. Should have had the boy facedown at an slight angle pointing downward at the ground and let gravity help while applying the thrusts on the back.
