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

Danger Danger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sick and tired of just getting by
Being broke is such a bitch
I won't lie
I can't deny
I wish that I was rich
They say money talks
But it ain't ever spoke to me
Blew my last buck
On the lottery
I wanna be a famous
Jet set billionaire
Just like Donald Trump
With better hair
Chorus
I need
Fuck you money
That's how I get my kicks
Fuck you money
Might even get some chicks
Sweet like honey
It always does the trick
Fuck you money
We all could use a little bit
wohoo wooo wohoo woo
I wanna Maserati that does 185
Better yet
A big old jet
Who's got time to drive
I buy myself in early
Pack my shit and i'll be gone
Have some fun
In the sun
Bring all my friends along
We rock and roll all night
And party everyday
That'd be alright
That'd be okay
Chorus
I need
Fuck you money
That's how I get my kicks
Fuck you money
Might even get some chicks
Sweet like honey
It always does the trick
Fuck you money
We all could use a little bit
Wohoo wooo wohoo wooo
I don't need no sympathy
Just give me cold hard cash
So I can go tell everyone
Kiss my ass
Guitar Solo
I wanna rock n roll all night
And party everyday
That'd be alright
That'd be okay
Chorus
Fuck you money
That's how I get my kicks
Fuck you money
Might even get some chicks
Sweet like honey
It always does the trick
Fuck you money
We all could use a little bit
Wohoo wooo wohoo wooo
Wohoo wooo wohoo wooo (Moneey)
Fame
Gonna get some
Fame
Gonna get me some money (Moneey)
