The Dance Hall Crashers recorded a few songs during their first year (these are featured on The Old Record), and in 1990, they made their most notable lineup change, adding second vocalist Karina Denike. Soon after, the band members parted ways, but they played a reunion show in 1992 due to pressure from fans. The show met with great fanfare, and so the band decided to reunite on a more permanent basis, with Rogers and Denike on vocals, Hammon on lead guitar, his brother Gavin on drums, Scott Goodell on second guitar, and Mikey Weiss on bass. The Dance Hall Crashers song "Enough" was featured on the soundtrack for Angus (1995 film). The song "Don't Wanna Behave" was featured in the 1996 film "Biodome" as well.
As of August 2005, the band members lead separate lives but still play a few shows per year. In November 2004 they played and recorded a show at the Hollywood House of Blues; the concert was released by Kung Fu Records in September 2005 as part of the popular The Show Must Go Off DVD series.
My Problem
Dance Hall Crashers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never thought I'd ever feel this way,
But now I'm gone and you are alone.
I hope you're not waiting by the phone
I am never coming back,
Not because of anything you lack.
Believe me there's nothing you can do
The problem's with me and not with you.
You've been there for me each and every time.
Trust me, it's not your problem it is mine.
I'm sorry, I don't know what's going through my head
I didn't mean for you to be misled.
For some reason I don't know,
It doesn't feel right so I have to go.
Don't let it hurt your self-esteem.
You'll be some girl's everlasting dream.
It has nothing to do with you.
Please trust me for I'm being true.
I'm sorry for the pain it will bring,
It's just another dumb girl thing.
You've been there for me each and every time.
Trust me, it's not your problem it is mine.
I'm sorry, I don't know what's going through my head
I didn't mean for you to be misled.
You've been there for me each and every time.
Trust me, it's not your problem it is mine.
I'm sorry, I don't know what's going through my head
I didn't mean for you to be misled.

When I listen to it, it makes me sad in a good way. It makes me think it's being sung to a terminally ill child.
"Why are you worried about the dirt? I don't think that you'll mind. When it's your time." And the "promise I'll wait a while. To make sure that you've moved on." If it's a lullaby, it's scary. Ha. I thought maybe it was her singing to her grandma on her deathbed, too. Makes more sense I guess.
