Dragonette is the stage name of Canadian singer-songwriter Martina Sorbara.… Read Full Bio ↴Dragonette is the stage name of Canadian singer-songwriter Martina Sorbara.

Former members include Sorbara's ex-husband Dan Kurtz who moved from Brazil when he was 4, Joel Stouffer and Will Stapleton (who replaced original guitarist Simon Craig following the band's move to London). They originally formed in Toronto, Canada in 2005.

Originally called "The Fuzz", the band's first gigs were touring the USA as support act for Duran Duran. Since then the band have gone on to support other major UK acts including New Order, Basement Jaxx and the Sugababes. They have recently completed a series of headline gigs in small venues in the UK and Canada, and performed at the Glastonbury Festival 2007. Prior to signing their record contract, the Dragonette (EP) was independently released as promo only and the songs have gained the attention of many critics such as the popular music blog Popjustice where they were named the #1 pop act to look out for in 2007. The band share management with the Scissor Sisters.

On Thursday, February 08 2007, the video for the track "Jesus Doesn't Love Me", which was filmed in December 2006, leaked onto the internet, through the website MySpace and also Popjustice. The video has since been removed from MySpace, as it was not intended to be viewed at this point in time. A 'taster' of this video is currently available to watch on the band's official YouTube page.

In early February 2007 the band flew to Toronto to shoot a music video for their first single I Get Around. The single was initially set for release on 16th April. The date was later pushed back to 30th April. Despite heavy promotion from the band, it entered the UK singles chart at a disappointing #92. Many have attributed this to confusion as to when the single was actually released (at one point there were three conflicting 'release dates'), others claim it simply was not stocked in record shops anywhere outside of London. Also, the fact that I Get Around was at one time available to download for free from the band's website (back in 2005), and was previously released as part of the compilation album "Robopop" (back in 2006)], certainly did nothing to help its performance as a hit single in 2007.

In May 2007, the video for "Take It Like A Man" was leaked onto YouTube before the band had a chance to release it themselves. The second single was released on the 23 of July 2007. Their second single was another commercial disappointment, debuting at #122 on the UK Charts. Around this time a new track was sent out to DJs around the United Kingdom, a cover of Calvin Harris's single The Girls. Dragonette's version however, replaced the lyrics with "The Boys" - a re-working they had previously performed at London's Gay Pride 2007. On the promo CDs was written "Dragonette have something to say to Calvin Harris!" The song was leaked onto the internet. Later, a fan-video from YouTube appeared on Perez Hilton's famous blog. The song was also featured during a Nikki Hilton fashion show.

Galore was made available to download through the UK iTunes store on August 20, 2007. It was physically released on September 24 in Europe and Japan, and on the following day in Canada. The album reached #80 in the Canadian charts but failed to chart in the UK.

Right Woman
Dragonette Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is the feeling taking over, hit you like a freight train?
Did your tip toes tappin' bout the song they're playing?
Have you the hard time, the one to make your motor run?
You've got the right woman
The right woman

Can you now wait just to be taken with the perfect dame?
To get your hands on her and never take them off again?

Don't bother please, b'fore i might pop off the formation
Cause I'm the right woman
The right woman

Oh baby,
Don't you worry this tramp's a lady and
Gentleman come in every kind
So come and get me two
Cause I can't guarantee it
You'll be the right guy and next time you'll want the right woman
The right woman
The right woman
The right woman

Follow that impulse to your basement to behavior
Whether you're looking for corruption or a savior
Come straight to words what keeps boys playing till they've won
Come get the right woman
The right woman

Cause in the Animal knows what the world is built upon
A clash of war, a touch of love, the rest is just for fun
Unless ofcorse a reward for the good you've done
You get the right woman

Oh baby,
Don't you worry this tramp's a lady and
Gentleman come in every kind
So come and get me two
Cause i can't guarantee it
You'll be the right guy and next time you'll want the right woman
The right woman

Come on take a chance
Come on take this dance
Get a closer glance of this specimen
Show me that you can, show me everything
Show me you're the right man, the right man

Hey Baby,
Don't you worry this tramp's a lady and
Gentleman come in every kind
So come and get me two
Cause i can't guarantee it
You'll be the right guy and next time you'll want the right woman
The right woman

The right woman
The right woman
