(1) Dada - USA rock band:
In 1992, Dada exploded on the scene with their critically acclaimed debut release Puzzle on Miles Copeland’s 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, MCA’s 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 band’s 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
We’re not sure how many - if any - pre-surrealist art movements from the early 20th century have impacted on the world’s club scene, but the Dada movement’s aesthetic carries through to this cheeky, funk-fuelled slab of prime electro-house. ‘Lollipop’ 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, ‘Finally’).
‘Lollipop’ began life as an instrumental. Sandy, who was working next door to Matt’s 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 nicely…" Less than a week later and the new vocal version was on a bike to Radio 1 for it’s 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:

Dada Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little more each time
Every time I tell you how I feel, I crumble
A little more each time
I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
When your silence crashes down on me, I crumble
A little more each time
Every night I sleep alone two three, I crumble
A little more each time
I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
In front of my eyes, eyes
And Big Sur Saturdays tear me apart
(aah-ha-ah)
The fog don't lift for days, floats through my arms
(aah-ha-ah)
No feeling at all
(solo)
I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
In front of my eyes
Every time I see the way we live, I crumble
A little more each time
Every time I take what you can't give, I crumble
A little more each time
Every time I give myself to you, I crumble
A little more each time
A little more each time (I crumble)
A little more each time (I crumble)
A little more each time (I crumble)
A little more each time (I crumble)
A little more each time
The lyrics to Dada's song Crumble reveal a sense of vulnerability and emotional surrender. The singer seems to be in a relationship where they are constantly giving and not receiving much in return. The repetition of the line "I crumble a little more each time" highlights the emotional toll that this has taken on the singer. Despite their efforts to express their feelings and connect with their partner, they continue to feel isolated and alone. The reference to Big Sur Saturdays and the fog that "floats through my arms" adds a dreamlike quality to the lyrics and emphasizes the singer's sense of disorientation and detachment. Ultimately, the song paints a picture of a relationship that is slowly crumbling away.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was written by the band's bass player, Joie Calio, and was included on their 1992 debut album, Puzzle. The song was not released as a single but has since become a fan favorite and has been included on several Dada compilations. Another interesting fact is that the band's name "Dada" is derived from the Dadaist art movement of the early 20th century, which was known for its anti-war and anti-establishment themes. This connection to the avant-garde may explain the band's eclectic musical style and unconventional approach to songwriting.
Another interesting fact is that Dada was formed in Los Angeles in the early 90s, during the height of the grunge era. Despite being associated with this scene, Dada's music is often described as more pop-oriented and experimental than typical grunge bands. The band was also known for their use of humor and irony in their lyrics and music videos, which set them apart from their more serious contemporaries.
Dada has had a long and prolific career, releasing several albums and touring extensively over the years. In addition, the band has collaborated with a wide range of artists, including The Black Keys and The Dresden Dolls. Despite their success, the band has experienced several personnel changes over the years, with only Calio and guitarist/vocalist Michael Gurley remaining consistent members.
The chords for Crumble are as follows:
Verse:
G - Am - C - D
Chorus:
G - D - C
Bridge:

Line by Line Meaning
Every night I give myself to you, I crumble
With each night that I surrender myself to you, my resolve weakens
A little more each time
I lose a bit more of myself every time
Every time I tell you how I feel, I crumble
Whenever I open up and share my emotions with you, I become more vulnerable
I'm falling apart
I am coming apart at the seams
In front of my eyes
I am fully aware of my own disintegration
When your silence crashes down on me, I crumble
Your quietness is deafening and crushes me, making me weaker
Every night I sleep alone two three, I crumble
Being by myself each night causes me to break down further
And Big Sur Saturdays tear me apart
The joy of weekends in Big Sur seems to exacerbate my suffering
(aah-ha-ah)
Musical refrain
The fog don't lift for days, floats through my arms
The persistent fog is like an oppressive presence that envelops me and makes me feel lost
No feeling at all
I am numb and unable to connect with my emotions
(solo)
Instrumental section
Every time I see the way we live, I crumble
The realization of how we exist together causes me to further disintegrate
Every time I take what you can't give, I crumble
The act of accepting something from you that you cannot return leaves me weakened
A little more each time (I crumble)
The fragmenting of my inner self continues to erode me little by little
A little more each time (I crumble)
The process of crumbling is happening gradually, wearing me down bit by bit
A little more each time (I crumble)
My self-destruction is a slow and ongoing process
A little more each time (I crumble)
Each repetition of this cycle further weakens my resolve
