These four young men, dressed in tight sharp suits were the first of their generation to give new life to mod culture in the low lands.
Their first EP was released on vinyl by the Dutch Stardumb label (may 2006). Fast cars, pretty girls, bad women, broken romances and boredom were the classic but timeless inspiration-sources for The Madd.
After four years, two albums and one hit with Dio they broke up in 2010.
The Kik, fronted once again by Dave von Raven, is seen by many as a Dutch-language continuation of The Madd.

In the second verse, the singer expresses their patience in waiting for their loved one, even if it means waiting under the mistletoe. They explain that they won't bother making a list or waiting to hear the reindeer, because their only desire is to have their loved one by their side. The bridge of the song highlights the joyous atmosphere of Christmas, with lights shining and the sound of children's laughter. It culminates in a plea to Santa Claus, asking him to bring their loved one to them.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't want a lot for Christmas
I am not asking for extravagant gifts or material possessions during Christmas
There is just one thing I need (and I)
There is only one thing that truly matters to me (and I)
Don't care about the presents
I do not value the material gifts
Underneath the Christmas tree
That are placed under the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
I have no desire to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
On the fireplace mantle
Santa Claus won't make me happy
The appearance of Santa Claus will not bring me happiness
With a toy on Christmas Day
Even if he brings me a toy on Christmas Day
I just want you for my own
What I truly want is to have you all to myself
More than you could ever know
You may not fully realize how much I desire you
Make my wish come true
Grant my ultimate desire
All I want for Christmas is you
You are the only thing I desire for Christmas
Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I have modest expectations for this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow (and I)
I won't even hope for snowfall (and I)
I'm just going to keep on waiting
I will patiently wait
Underneath the mistletoe
Standing beneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
I won't create a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
To the North Pole for Santa Claus
I won't even stay awake to
I won't even try to stay awake
Hear those magic reindeer click
To hear the sound of the magical reindeer hooves
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Because all I want is for you to be here with me tonight
Holding on to me so tight
Embracing me tightly
What more can I do?
I have done everything possible
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
My only desire for Christmas is to have you
Oh, all the lights are shining
The lights are illuminating
So brightly everywhere
Brightly in all directions
And the sound of children's
And the sound produced by children
Laughter fills the air
Filling the atmosphere with laughter
And everyone is singing
And everyone is joyfully singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
I can hear the jingling sound of sleigh bells
Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?
Santa Claus, can you please bring me the person I truly need?
Won't you please bring my baby to me?
Please bring my beloved to me
Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
I don't desire many things for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
This is my only request
I just want to see my baby
I simply want to see my loved one
Standing right outside my door
Standing directly outside my door
Youuuu
You
You, baby
You, my beloved
Youuuu
You
All, all, all, all
All, everything
Youuuu
You
