Singer Ted Poley and guitarist Andy Timmons left the band after "Screw It!" was released (and having recorded a third album which got shelved). The band brought in Paul Laine to replace Poley for 1995's "Dawn" and on.
In 2001, Laine would record vocals for the shelved album they had recorded with Poley. Fans wanted to hear both singers, so they released this album, "Cockroach" as a 2-disc set, both discs having the same songs (Laine's had a bonus track), the only difference being the vocalist.
2003 saw the return of Ted Poley to the band. Danger Danger would then release "Prime Cuts", a collection of rare tracks and demos from the 80s with Ted Poley.
Their latest release is a live album recorded during their last tour with singer Paul Laine.
They also contributed a track called "Naughty Naughty Christmas" to the "Have A Very Hairy Christmas" Compilation.
the record label has sent them back in the studio to record a new album this year 2008. Their latest album is entitled "Revolve" and was released sometime in September 2009
Bang Bang
Danger Danger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was a warm night on the south side of town
They said they'd seen ya
You were sneakin' around with a stranger,
Girl these rumors are drivin' me mad
All my good friends turn their face to the wall
That I can't see when I'm being had
I know it's silly but girl I really thought we had a chance
I must've been crazy!
Bang Bang, what's that sound
I gave you my love and you shot me down
Bang Bang, you're so cool
Playin' a game, someday you're gonna lose
Bang! Bang!
Girl you told me you were not like the rest
Then you showed me now you're failing the test
It was easy just an urge in the heat of the nite
I believed you, now that's all in the past
'Cause I made some mistakes but I'm learnin' fast
Never put your heart on the line!
Never put your heart on the line!
I know it's silly but girl I really thought we had a chance
I must've been crazy!
Bang Bang, what's that sound
I gave you my love and you shot me down
Bang Bang, you're so cool
Playin' a game, someday you're gonna lose
Bang! Bang!
The lyrics of Danger Danger's song "Bang Bang" tell the story of a man who is heartbroken and confused after realizing that his girlfriend has been cheating on him. The song begins with the man hearing rumors that his girlfriend has been sneaking around with another man. He is hurt and feels like all his friends are turning their backs on him. He is questioning his own judgment and self-awareness, wondering if he has been gullible enough to have missed the signs. He reflects on his feelings of foolishness and betrayal, as he thought they had a chance at a real relationship. The song then turns to a warning that someday the girl will lose her game, and he nods to the classic "Bang! Bang!" phrase that has become synonymous with shooting and gunplay.
The lyrics address the pain of infidelity, as the man feels like he has been shot down by the one he loved. He trusted and believed in the girl, only to be let down by her actions. The lyrics serve as a warning to not put your heart on the line too quickly, and to be more vigilant about who you trust. The man learns the hard way that love can be a brutal game, and he will be more careful with his heart in the future.
