1. Apulanta (Fertilizer in English) is a Finnish rock band, founded in 1991 when members of the band were in their mid-teens. The name of the band means fertilizer, which they have since come to regret. Initially playing hardcore punk and hard rock, they soon shifted to a pop-rock style, and have been fluctuating between these extremes since; their songs currently tend to combine melodic and catchy choruses with heavy guitar riffs.
They have consistently topped the Finnish charts for almost ten years, and they continue to be one of the most successful rock bands in Finland. "Teit meistä kauniin" is one of the all-time biggest-selling singles in Finland. As of November 2005, 15 of their singles and 8 albums have reached the #1 spot on the Finnish charts.
Former bassist Tuukka Temonen parted from the band year 2005 And they decided to take
Sami "Parta-Sami" Lehtinen as a full member to the band.
The band currently consists of founding members Toni Wirtanen, Simo "Sipe" Santapukki and the newest addon Ville Mäkinen.
2. The first Apulanta, was a hardcore band from Tampere. Their only release was a hardcore/noise version of a gospel song "Pekka Oli Kalamies". and it appeared on a compilation Työläisten Kontrolli (1981). This tape is very rare. Less than 100 copies exist.
Hell Yeah
Apulanta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be the flea I'll be your goat
Raining down from stars above
Endless streams of plastic love
Feel the core that's melting down
See the fools are wearing crowns
Twist the blade you sank in me Sleep again with the enemy
You mess me up and shoot me down
But I'll go fighting
The dirty heads roll in the ground
But keep on biting
The cloud is closing in my shade
The one that follows you just won't go away
Fear is in your eyes to stay
Who's to blame in the end of the day
Time to rise up in the sky
Time to bridge those walls too high
Time to bring down the evil king
Time to feel this hovering
You mess me up and shoot me down
But I'll go fighting
The dirty heads roll in the ground
But keep on biting
The song "Hell Yeah" by Apulanta is a powerful anthem that deals with themes of betrayal, disillusionment, and perseverance. The opening lines, "Taste the bile down in my throat/Be the flea I'll be your goat" suggest a sense of bitterness and resentment, with the singer feeling used and betrayed by others. This sentiment echoes throughout the song, with references to "plastic love" and the "fools wearing crowns" representing the shallow and insincere nature of the relationships in question.
Despite this, the singer remains defiant, vowing to "go fighting" and "keep on biting," regardless of the obstacles they face. There is a sense of resilience and determination in these words, as the singer refuses to be beaten down and continues to strive for something better. This is encapsulated in the final lines of the song, with the rallying cry to "bring down the evil king" and "feel this hovering," suggesting a desire to rise above the negativity and stand strong in the face of adversity.
Overall, "Hell Yeah" is a song that celebrates the strength of the human spirit, in the face of adversity, betrayal, and disillusionment. It is a reminder that we are capable of overcoming even the toughest of challenges, and that there is always hope for a better tomorrow, no matter how dark the present may seem.

Taste the bile down in my throat
I am feeling sick and disgusted with myself
Be the flea I'll be your goat
I will follow and serve you like a loyal animal
Raining down from stars above
There is an overwhelming amount of something coming from above
Endless streams of plastic love
This endless love is fake and meaningless, like plastic
Feel the core that's melting down
I feel like I'm falling apart at my very core
See the fools are wearing crowns
People with no business being in charge are in power
Twist the blade you sank in me
You hurt me deep, and now you're twisting the knife
Sleep again with the enemy
I know you're no good for me, but I'm drawn to you anyway
You mess me up and shoot me down
You hurt me emotionally and physically
But I'll go fighting
I won't give up or give in easily
The dirty heads roll in the ground
Bad people will eventually get what they deserve in the end
But keep on biting
I'll keep fighting back, no matter how hard it gets
The cloud is closing in my shade
I feel trapped and overwhelmed by an impending doom
The one that follows you just won't go away
The bad things that follow you seem to never leave
Fear is in your eyes to stay
You are always afraid, and it's not going away
Who's to blame in the end of the day
When everything is said and done, who will take responsibility for what happened?
Time to rise up in the sky
It's time to rise up and take control
Time to bridge those walls too high
We need to break down the barriers that separate us
Time to bring down the evil king
It's time to overthrow those in power who are doing harm
Time to feel this hovering
It's time to embrace the feeling of something about to happen
