(1) Dada - USA rock band:
In 1992, Dada exploded on the scene with their critically acclaimed debut release Puzzle on Miles CopelandтАЩs now defunct IRS Records. The single "Dizz Knee Land" set the alternative radio movement - just then hitting its stride - on fire, and quickly migrated to mainstream rock and pop stations. Puzzle sold over a half million copies and made a number of critics' "best of year" lists. September 1994 saw the release of American Highway Flower which had a harder feel both musically and lyrically than its predecessor, reflecting the band's evolution from a studio to a touring band.
Money problems at IRS cut short promotional efforts in February 1995. Dada fared no better commercially with their third release - El Subliminoso in April 1996 - than they had with earlier releases. IRS Records was on its last legs by this time, and folded just as the band was winding up the first leg of the album tour. The exquisite El Subliminoso was perhaps the group's most artistically complex and satisfying offering.
The band signed to MCA Records in 1997, and released their self-titled fourth CD dada. This CD received favorable reviews, as did a 33-city headlining US tour. As the band was in mid-tour to promote the album however, MCAтАЩs parent company was sold, leading to wholesale roster changes at the label.
From June 1999 until March 2003, Dada was on a self-imposed hiatus. During this time, Michael Gurley and Phil Leavitt went on to form the critically acclaimed Butterfly Jones, Leavitt performed regularly with The Blue Man Group and Joie Calio began working as an A&R scout for MCA, wrote a book & recorded and released his solo debut CD, The Complications of Glitter.
March 2004 brought the release of the bandтАЩs fifth studio effort, [i/]How To Be Found. This album is an infectious collection of songs that is classic Dada: smart, sharp lyrics, undeniable melodies and incredible musicianship.
(2) Dada - Matti Schwartz, English dance artist
WeтАЩre not sure how many - if any - pre-surrealist art movements from the early 20th century have impacted on the worldтАЩs club scene, but the Dada movementтАЩs aesthetic carries through to this cheeky, funk-fuelled slab of prime electro-house. тАШLollipopтАЩ is the work of Matti Schwartz, formerly of chart-toppers Deepest Blue and The Drill, and the production genius who can count Massive Attack, and many more, as past projects. Super-cool girl Trix, from hotly tipped electro-punk band, LIPS, is joined on vocals by dance legend, Sandy Rivera (of Kings Of Tomorrow fame and the producer of the house anthem, тАШFinallyтАЩ).
тАШLollipopтАЩ began life as an instrumental. Sandy, who was working next door to MattтАЩs studio, heard the track by chance: "It sounded amazing. It had a really sexy vibe and I thought it could use some dirty, tricky vocals with my style on it. Earlier I was listening to some of Trix's songs and asked Matt if she wanted to do the Lollipop thing with me. So I laid down the lyrics and Trix added her lines in later. There is something about lickin' ice cream that fits me nicelyтАж" Less than a week later and the new vocal version was on a bike to Radio 1 for itтАЩs first play. The rest, as they say, is about to become history. Remixes come from Jerry Ropero, Nic Fanciulli, Breese & Bad Hand, The Drill & Andy Daniell.
(3) Dada - Kenji Konishi and Mutsuhiko Izumi:
Drawing inspiration from German electronic music, Fripp & Eno and Heldon, Dada (Kenji Konishi and Mutsuhiko Izumi) infused synth and guitar driven sounds with gagaku-inspired drones to achieve a sort of Oriental lyricism. The band subsequently released the album DADA (King '81) before splitting. Meanwhile, Konishi formed 4D, shifting his direction towards techno dance music, while Izumi joined the jazz-rock group Kennedy, and later After Dinner.
(4) Dada - jazz-fusion band
In 1970 Elkie Brooks was persuaded by husband Pete Gage to join the jazz-fusion rock band Dada, and shared vocals with Paul Korda on their only album, called Dada, released by the Atlantic Records subsidiary label Atco. Her next step was to join Vinegar Joe.
(5) Dada - MC and producer:
Born in the year 1983 in Novi Sad, but in the year 2000 he moves to Belgrade, where he still lives and works. He started his career in hip hop music in the year '98-'99 with a group called Fantomz,but a year later he starts his own solo career. Dada appeared on several hip hop compilations and rap albums. He also collaborated with many known and unknown names in serbian hip hop as an MC, as well as a producer.
Debut album called "Dzepovi U Rukama" (Pockets in hands) is scheduled for november/december 2009/10/11. Debut mixtape called "Radio Ubica Decijega Lica" (Radio Killer With Baby Face) is dropped late december 2009.

Dada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And let the dirt settle in on the floor
Cause no one lives here that matters no more
I'm just somebody to ignore
Because I'm nobody now no one
I'm nobody now no one
Hallelujah I'm no one
I'm nobody's someone no more
Don't have a soul cause that's something
Don't got no wishes that'd be dreamin
And dreamin's got no business with me
Now I got a friend in the space between the wind
Now I got a friend won't let me down
I have no face to make fun of
No pretty hair to be done up
No wasted time pretending something to be
I need no time to be me
In Dada's song "No One," the artist is expressing a sense of liberation from societal expectations and obligations. The lyrics "Take down the pictures take down the door And let the dirt settle in on the floor" signify a removal of the established norms and rules of society. The repetition of the phrase "I'm nobody now no one" highlights the artist's newfound identity and freedom in being a nobody, without any obligations or expectations placed upon them. The lyrics "Found I control almost nothing don't have a soul cause that's something" display a sense of relinquishment from control and attachment, embracing a more minimalist and carefree lifestyle.
The chorus "Hallelujah I'm no one" reinforces the joy and relief the artist feels in being unburdened by the expectations of society. The lyrics "Now I got a friend in the space between the wind" suggest a newfound connection with the natural world and a more spiritual, less materialistic approach to life. The song ends with the memorable line "I need no time to be me," solidifying the artist's sense of self and independence.
Line by Line Meaning
Take down the pictures take down the door
Remove all symbols of attachment and protection
And let the dirt settle in on the floor
Allow entropy and decay to consume the space
Cause no one lives here that matters no more
The previous occupants are no longer important
I'm just somebody to ignore
I am now insignificant and unworthy of attention
Because I'm nobody now no one
I have become a non-entity and am devoid of identity
I'm nobody now no one
I have lost all distinguishing characteristics
Hallelujah I'm no one
Celebrating the freedom and release of anonymity
I'm nobody's someone no more
No longer responsible or accountable to anyone
Found I control almost nothing
Realization that control is an illusion
Don't have a soul cause that's something
The artist has lost their essence and inner fire
Don't got no wishes that'd be dreamin
Desires and aspirations are unattainable and futile
And dreamin's got no business with me
The artist rejects the idea of imagination and fantasy
Now I got a friend in the space between the wind
A spiritual connection to the intangible forces of nature
Now I got a friend won't let me down
Trust and reliance in the power of the unseen
I have no face to make fun of
The singer is immune to ridicule or mockery
No pretty hair to be done up
Physical appearances are irrelevant and unimportant
No wasted time pretending something to be
The artist refuses to engage in false personas or pretense
I need no time to be me
Authenticity and self-acceptance without the need for external validation

about 8 months ago ,a lady more or less said in a text i was no one to her= she texted yesterday and i spent 20 minutes explaining she had reached a family member who still had my phone although i had died 3 weeks ago, and that i had shamed the family because i had a child out of wedlock with a 23 year old model/cheerleader college student ( im 65 by the way) after her shock and condolences i finally let it out that i was still among the living- but added, just think how happy you were when you thought i was dead. nice song dada
