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 ↴
Still I talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain't seen noting
Ti you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times I can remaniesse
With her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss, like this!
See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin' like you just didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
And I know love was here to stay
Repeat:x4
When she told me to
Walk This Way, Talk This Way
See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin' like you just didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
Repeat: x4
When she told me to
Walk This Way, Talk This Way
Just give me a kiss - like this!
The song "Walk This Way" by Dick Brave & The Backbeats tells the story of a young man who takes a chance at a high school dance with a girl who is ready to play. The opening lines of the song describe the girl as a "backstroke lover" who is always hiding under the covers. The singer recalls speaking with her father, who tells him that he hasn't seen anything until he's tried a muffin. The girl is then implied to be promiscuous as the singer describes her with her sister and cousin.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Walk This Way, Talk This Way" as the singer recalls taking a chance with the girl at the high school dance. The second verse has similar lyrics to the first verse and describes the girl as swinging with the boys in the school and not caring about her surroundings. The singer describes taking another chance with her and being fooled by her knowledge of what she was doing. The song ends with the girl asking for a kiss.
