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
Don't Blame It on Love
Danger Danger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You thought you had everything that you wanted
but something was wrong from the moment this started
I followed your lead
Your touch and your tease, yeah
But i've had enough girl
your not fooling me
Go on, blame it on me
(Chorus)
Don't blame it on love
The tough gets going when the going gets tough
sooner or later, i'll be calling your bluff
Whoah, don't blame it on love
(Verse 2)
Caught in a wave of confusion and passion
You talk about love like it's out of fashion
No guilt and shame
it's all a game, yeah
I'm more than a face baby
i've got it made
but you can forget it
now i ain't got no doubts
i've had it tough
(Chorus)
Don't blame it on love
The tough get going when the going gets tough
Sooner or later i'd be calling your bluff
Woah don't blame it on love
(repeat 3x)
You thought you had everything that you wanted
but something was wrong from the moment this started
In Danger Danger's song "Don't Blame It on Love," the singer addresses a woman who has been playing games with him. Despite initially being drawn in by her charm and seduction, he quickly realizes that something is off and that she is not genuine. The chorus specifically tells her not to blame their situation on love because the truth will inevitably come out. The singer seems to be asserting his own strength and ability to stand up for himself, as he won't allow this woman to blame him or make excuses for her actions.
The first verse describes the initial attraction and subsequent disillusionment that the singer experiences with this woman. Despite following her lead and being seduced by her, he ultimately recognizes that she is insincere and has "one too many tricks up her sleeve." He calls her out for trying to fool him and implies that he won't let her deception continue. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer describing the confusion and passion that he felt in the relationship. However, he recognizes that this woman is not interested in genuine connections or love, but rather sees everything as a game. He asserts his own worth and affirms that he is not willing to tolerate this behavior anymore.
Overall, "Don't Blame It on Love" is a song about standing up for oneself in the face of deception and insincerity. The singer is honest with himself about the situation and refuses to let this woman manipulate him. Instead, he asserts his own strength and ability to handle the truth.

I'll tell ya...this group had the goods...for sure. The hooks, the choruses, the vibe.....damn. At 3:26, Ted Poley sounds just like an 80s Paul Stanley in not only his range and delivery/pacing but also the masterful way he ties the song together in the final bars....You know what, it works! Good stuff. Thanks for posting
