The Go! Team
The Go! Team are a Brighton, United Kingdom-based six piece band (with two drummers) whose songs are a mixture of action theme songs, cheerleader chants, noise pop guitars and early hip-hop, with a hint of '70s funk. On record their songs are often pieced together largely from samples, although live the songs are performed mostly with live instruments.

Founder Ian Parton, born in Wales, was previously involved in a band called Dig The Slowness. The band is split 50/50 by gender, with a female frontwoman Ninja, drummer (Chi Fukami Taylor), and multi-instrumentalist (Kaori Tsuchida, who replaced Steidinger in Autumn 2005).
Initially The Go! Team was ostensibly a solo project for documentary film director Ian Parton, whose debut release was the "Get It Together EP", released in 2000 by Leicester-based Pickled Egg Records. This received airplay from legendary DJ John Peel, but following this, legal wrangles meant that it would be another three years before their next release, the "Junior Kickstart" EP in 2003.
Their album "Thunder, Lightning, Strike" was released on the Memphis Industries label in September 2004, and has received widespread critical acclaim. In 2005 it was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, which coincided with the international release of a "legal" version of the album wherein samples which could not be cleared for use had to be removed.
Their song "Bottle Rocket" was used as the theme on an advertising campaign for RTÉ Sport in 2005 on the Irish TV channels RTÉ One and RTÉ Two. Another of their songs, "Huddle Formation" is currently being used in an advertising campaign for the Honda Civic, "We Just Won't Be Defeated" is also being used in current Target commercials, and "Get It Together" is the title song of the official soundtrack for 'LittleBigPlanet' which is a PlayStation 3 game.

The Go! Team Lyrics
[Repeat: x4]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah
You started out as friends, said you're the kind of man that, takes every girl for a fool.
When the boys go "swish" they always score
But can they do it with a cold crack at their door?
Said you, you, you are fantastic and so romantic
(say what?)
Romantic and so fantastic
(7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
[Chorus]
We came here to rock the microphone.
We came here to rock the microphone.
While Dave breaks the record down to the bone.
While Dave breaks the record down to the bone.
Lets talk about
Who's gonna rock [Repeat: x3]
You started out as friends, said you're the kind of man that, takes every girl for a fool.
Jack, my boy, what you gonna do?
Lets shoot the shack and do the do
[Chorus]
[Repeat: x4]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah
