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
Get Your Shit Together
Danger Danger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think you re so funny
Pass yourself off as a queen.
Jukebox junkie
Find another flunky
I m tired of that old scene
You re so damn pretty
But your looks ain t gonna last
You booked a first-class ticket
To the promised land
Buty ou re goin nowhere fast
Lines on your face
Gettin clearer honey
Nites turn to days
And they ain t so sunny
How big a price, big a price
Are ya willin to pay
You better get your shit together
Pull your head out of the sand
Get your shit together
Do it while you can
Dime store floozie
Temper like an uzi
Tell me who said life was fair
You re a little bit bolder
But that chip on your shoulder
Ain t goin anywhere
Fingers snappin
Jaw keeps a flappin
Ya pile it up so high
You got your head buried
So far up your ass
Wonder why the sun don t shine?
Clock on the wall
Keeps a tick-tock-tickin
You re goin down
But you ll go down kickin
Ain t no prize for a life
You ve been pissin away
You gotta get your shit together
Pull your head out of the sand
Get your shit together
Do it while ya can
Get your shit together
Stop wastin all your time
Get your shit together
Get yo ass in line
Get your shit
Get your shit together
Dig!
The song 'Get Your Shit Together' by Danger Danger expresses the artist's annoyance with someone who portrays themselves as a queen and tries to control everything around them. They are described as a jukebox junkie, always looking for someone to occupy their time with. The artist makes it clear that their looks won't last forever and although they booked a first-class ticket to the promised land, they are not going anywhere fast.
The song's chorus urges the subject to get their act together and stop wasting their time acting in such a way. The artist criticizes their petty behavior, describing it as a dime store floozie with a temper like an uzi. They took some bolder steps in life but still have a chip on their shoulder. The subject's fingers are always snapping, and their jaw never stops flapping, making the situation worse. The song ends with the artist reminding them that time is ticking away, and they need to get their shit together before it's too late.
Line by Line Meaning
Hey, hey, honey
Addressing someone who thinks they are funny
Think you re so funny
You think you are humorous
Pass yourself off as a queen.
Acting like royalty
Jukebox junkie
Obsessed with music
Find another flunky
Find someone else to follow you blindly
I m tired of that old scene
Bored of the same old routine
Hear! kitty kitty
Calling someone's attention
You re so damn pretty
You are very attractive
But your looks ain t gonna last
Your looks won't stay forever
You booked a first-class ticket
You thought you had the upper hand
To the promised land
To a better future
Buty ou re goin nowhere fast
But, in reality, you are not moving forward
Lines on your face
Wrinkles on your skin
Gettin clearer honey
Becoming more visible
Nites turn to days
Night turning into day
And they ain t so sunny
Days not being very pleasant
How big a price, big a price
How much are you willing to pay
Are ya willin to pay
Are you willing to pay it
You better get your shit together
You need to improve and take control
Pull your head out of the sand
Stop avoiding reality
Do it while you can
Do it as soon as possible
Dime store floozie
Cheap and promiscuous
Temper like an uzi
Easily agitated
Tell me who said life was fair
Life is not fair
You re a little bit bolder
You're more confident than before
But that chip on your shoulder
But still holding a grudge
Ain t goin anywhere
Not resolving anytime soon
Fingers snappin
Impatient and restless
Jaw keeps a flappin
Talking excessively
Ya pile it up so high
You create problems for yourself
You got your head buried
You refuse to face reality
So far up your ass
Ignoring outside perspective
Wonder why the sun don t shine?
You wonder why everything is going wrong
Clock on the wall
The passing of time
Keeps a tick-tock-tickin
Continues to move forward
You re goin down
You are failing
But you ll go down kickin
You'll fight to the end
Ain t no prize for a life
There won't be a reward if you keep living like this
You ve been pissin away
You've been wasting your time and opportunities
Stop wastin all your time
Cease wasting your time
Get yo ass in line
Straighten up and improve yourself
Get your shit
Take control of your life
Get your shit together
Organize your life
Dig!
Do it now

Thanks for uploading sometimes I just need to hear this song to get me out of a bad place, right now I'm in an Amazon warehouse but I don't work here I just came to return a package and got lost I can't ask for directions out as all the staff are robots and my glaucoma medication is just kicking in

It's at this point in metal history where it becomes easy to see how 90's grunge was able to take over.
