You know, you brought your girl up well
So well, that everyone can always tell
That you had some work to do
Thought she'd get the best of you
I'm glad that you never gave up on her
Shut the door or sent her away
You didn't know what else to say
But you loved her
You knew that she'd have to go
And told her all the things she never wanted to know
Because she already knew everything
Didn't she?
And so you kicked her out into
The bright light
And of course it started a fight
But it would be the last
Because she's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
She's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to be what you want her to
You know, you brought your girl up well
So well, the day she came and told you she fell in love
And packed her bags
You hid your
Smile, didn't laugh
You sat her down and told her the rules of love
Watch your back and trust no-one
And most of all just don't forget
To get a pre-nup
And then when she went away
And came running back the very next day
You didn't tell her that you told her so
Even though you
Knew that she'd have to skin and break
Her own leg
And of course you feel it to
Pick her up, it'd be enough
Because she's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
She's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to be what you want her to
You know, you brought your girl up well
So well that even though she put you through hell
You'd figure it was worth it
Even though it wasn't perfect
I'm glad that you never gave up on her
Shut the door or sent her away
You didn't know what else to say
But you loved her
You knew that she'd have to go
And told her all the things she never wanted to know
Because she already knew everything
Didn't she?
And so you kicked her out into
The bright light
And of course it started a fight
But it would be the last
Because she's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to do what you taught her to
She's trying
She's trying
Trying hard to be what you want her to
Dance Hall Crashers (often abbreviated to "DHC") is a ska punk band from Berkeley, California, that formed in 1989. The band was originally made up from two of the members of seminal ska-punk band Operation Ivy. Since both Matt Freeman and Tim "Lint" Armstrong were interested in playing in a purely ska outfit, they recruited original drummer and ska enthusiast Erik Larsen aka Erik Kolacek. The band's original logo and designs were created by Jacob "Kuba" Schwarz, the older brother of future singer Karina Denike Schwarz. The name itself was brought to the band by Erik Larsen from a song by an older Jamaican ska band. The band started as the result of a conversation (at Tim and Matt's house on Kains Ave. in Berkeley a few blocks from Gilman Street) over the need for a more roots style ska/ rock-steady band between Matt, Tim, Joey Schaaf, and Andrew Champion. The first line-up was based on these four with the addition of Erik Larson after Andrew called him up and got him to take time away from the Liquidators (His then current project, also a roots style ska band) to sit in on the new project. Grant Mcintire (Friend and sometime roadie for Operation Ivy) was also brought in on guitar and to help with songwriting duties.
La radio è morta? No. Ma non è più il cancello d'ingresso. Negli ultimi anni qualcosa è cambiato ? radicalmente. Canzoni sconosciute esplodono in pochi giorni. Artisti senza contratto discografico raccolgono milioni di stream. E le radio? Arrivano dopo, non prima. Il pubblico ha preso il controllo. Il potere dei video brevi: 15 secondi che cambiano tutto TikTok ha trasformato le regole del gioco musicale. Una melodia che dura meno di venti secondi può diventare il suono di un'intera estate. Nel 2023, oltre il 70% delle canzoni entrate nella Billboard Hot 100 aveva avuto un'origine virale su piattaforme social prima di ricevere attenzione radiofonica.
