This last year saw the release of their first full length album Death By Swing, Banzai Lab (FR.) and featured the single Gingerbread Man on various compilations such as: Electro Swing vol.III, Wagram Music (FR.), Best of Electro Swing, Rambling Records (JP.), and many more…
Their music although very important to the electro swing movement flirts with pop culture and strives to create music for the new dance generation. This explosive combo is a concentration of good spirit and musicality with lots of live action. Step in the ring with the Dirty Honkers and be prepared to be knocked out by their home-made joysticks, game controllers, sax attack and high voltage show.

Dirty Honkers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cant quit now, oh no.
‘Cause baby you know life is milk and honey,
Yeah its true you know,
Life is milk and honey baby.
Darling I’m thrill, left for road kill,
Since you drove by, smiling yesterday,
Bass ba booming with every single steps.
Heart beats so fast, sing a little tune,
Tie me to the mass and send me off to the moon,
Ta’boom boom,
Ditty do waa, t’a boom boom boom,
Ditty do waa you’re milk and honey to me.
What’s up doc, ooo. please tell me it ain’t so.
I cant quit now no.
‘Cause baby you know life is milk and honey,
Yeah its true
You know life is milk and honey, baby.
You’re the best, my all time favorite,
Sharpen up whenever you’re in sight,
Ho what a fright, dreadful if I should not see you,
I’ll be turning in circle forward left and right,
Taste is so smooth, how could i refuse,
Strap me to a rocket and blast me off to Neptune,
Ta’boom boom,
Ditty do waa, t’a boom boom boom,
Ditty do waa you’re milk and honey to me.
Hey there people! Please say it ain’t so!
I cant quit now no!!!
‘Cause baby you know life is milk and honey,
Ooo. hoo. hoo. its true you see, life is milk and honey, BABY!
