Though band leader Dick Brave claims to be canadian, the project actually marks the unlikely evolution of german pop singer Sasha - a frequent guest in the pop charts during the 1990s with hits like I Feel Lonely, If You Believe or Young Deenay's Walk On By.
Sasha Schmitz was born and raised by his single mother in Soest, Germany. His musical career started when he became lead singer of a school band called Junkfood. The group recorded several demo tapes together, but attracted no label interest and the band soon split. At the same time the producers of the German rapper Der Wolf engaged him as background singer for the hit single "Gibt's Doch Gar Nicht", a success improved upon by his first official appearance, on "Wannabe Your Lover", a top 10 collaboration with newcomer Young Deenay.
In 2002 Sasha switched his stage name to Dick Brave and began performing with The Backbeats. Originally conceived as a humorous lark, their success encouraged the group to record a whole album together, and "Dick This!" eventually became the singer's first number 1 record. It also featured a successful remake of 1961's "Take Good Care of My Baby", originally written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin and performed by Bobby Vee. In November 2004 the project was discontinued. However, alias Dick Brave's continual presence had earned Sasha an older audience for the first time.
In 2011 Dick Brave and the backbeats stage a comeback with the release of a new album and tour entitles 'Rock Theropy'!

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm comin' up so you better you better get this party started
Get this party started on a Saturday night
Everybody's waitin' for me to arrive
Sendin' out the message to all of my friends
We'll be lookin' flashy in my Mercedes Benz
I got lots of style, got my gold diamond rings
I'm comin' up so you better you better get this party started
I'm comin' up so you better you better get this party started
Pumpin' up the volume, breakin' down to the beat
Cruisin' through the west side
We'll be checkin' the scene
Boulevard is freakin' as I'm comin' up fast
I'll be burnin' rubber, you'll be kissin' my ass
Pull up to the bumper, get out of the car
License plate says Stunner number one Superstar
I'm comin' up so you better you better get this party started
I'm comin' up so you better you better get this party started
Get this party started
Makin' my connection as I enter the room
Everybody's chillin' as I set up the groove
Pumpin' up the volume with this brand new beat
Everybody's dancin' and their dancin' for me
