The name of the band came into being by chance: The bassist of the band, Jan-Dirk Poggemann wanted to name the band like the pastries donuts, but he wrote the name the wrong way by mistake. The other band members liked the name, because they found their philosophy in the name (donots = do nothing, like slackers), so they retained the name. Very rarely the band calls themselves "Ibbtown Rockers" because of their provenance.
The US edition of “Wake The Dogs” features 14 new songs from the punk-veterans, plus 2 additional bonus tracks not included in the original German release, and was released on OK! Good Records.

Donots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For a while and feel and
Hear what i've got to
Say, your life and our
Lives are much more
Than a file on a disk
Can't calculate that way
There'is no need to hide
Keep your feelings inside
At all, to convert your
Life into boring numbers
Hey-ho! wake up from your slumbers
(while you sleep) i have my fun
(while you sleep) i feel and enjoy
(while you sllep) i see the sun
(while you slepp) i'm playing
With my toys
Don't need any artificial
Maturity when everybody
Knows that there's a child
Inside of me,i dont want
To be drecocious, don't
Want to grow up,i want
To live my emotions!
(if you don't get the point then
A)perhaps you're too old and too
Cold to
B)perhaps you don't understand
The english language
C)not.)
The lyrics of Donots' song Awakening are a call to arms for anyone who is overly obsessed with their digital life and disconnected from the real world. The first verse declares that there is more to life than what can be saved on a computer disk. The singer urges the listener to feel and hear what he has to say, insisting that the human experience cannot be calculated in numbers, and there is no need to hide behind a virtual wall.
The second verse calls out the listener for their artificial maturity and reminds them that there is a child within them. The singer yearns to live life fully and experience all emotions, refusing to be precocious and wanting to remain young at heart. The chorus reinforces the message that the singer is awake and enjoying life while the listener is asleep, playing with toys and feeling the warmth of the sun, encouraging them to join in the fun.
Overall, the song's message is to live life fully and enjoy the simple things. It's a wake-up call for anyone who's too caught up in the digital world and encourages them to step away from the computer and experience the real world.

Turn off that computer
Disconnect yourself from technology and take a break
For a while and feel and
Temporarily step away and truly experience
Hear what i've got to
Listen to my message
Say, your life and our
Our existences are more significant
Lives are much more
We possess immense worth
Than a file on a disk
And shouldn't be reduced to digital storage
Can't calculate that way
Life can't be added up by numbers alone
There is no need to hide
Don't suppress your true sentiments
Behind that wall, to
Stop shielding yourself from others
Keep your feelings inside
Suppressing feelings can be harmful
At all, to convert your
Don't transform yourself into
Life into boring numbers
A monotonous statistic
Hey-ho! wake up from your slumbers
Rouse yourself and break from complacency

With my toys
Indulging in my interests
Don't need any artificial
I don't require a facade of
Maturity when everybody
Responsibility when everyone
Knows that there's a child
Recognizes that youthfulness
Inside of me, I don't want
Is still present within me, and I have no desire
To be drecocious, don't
To grow up too quickly, and I refuse
Want to grow up, I want
To live life passionately and not become jaded
To live my emotions!
To experience my feelings fully!
