In 2003 they scored a Billboard Dance Top 40 hit with "E"(which samples Eminem's "Without Me") under the Drunkenmunky name. In other countries, it was released under the title "E (As In Evangeline)" but the track didn't use the "Without Me" sampling. Their song "Yeah!" samples the crunk hit Yeah! by Usher to a similar success.

Grab all they can,
Everything counts in large amounts.
The grabbing hands,
Grab all they can,
Everything counts in large amounts,
Everything counts in large amounts,
The grabbing hands,
Grab all they can,
Everything counts in large amounts.
The grabbing hands,
Grab all they can,
Everything counts in large amounts,
Everything counts in large amounts,
Everything counts in large amounts
"The Grabbing Hands" is a song by Drunkenmunky that depicts the greed and consumerism that has become prevalent in modern society. The "grabbing hands" refer to individuals who are constantly in pursuit of material possessions and will do anything necessary to obtain them. The repeated chorus "Everything counts in large amounts" emphasizes the importance placed on accumulating wealth and possessions in our culture, suggesting that the value of a person is measured by how much they own.
The song also highlights the negative consequences of this mentality on society as a whole. As people become more obsessed with acquiring more and more, they become isolated from one another and relationships become superficial. The lyrics suggest that this materialistic mindset is ultimately unsatisfying, with lines like "there is a secret I have found, that all the material things amount to nothing in the end."
Overall, "The Grabbing Hands" is a commentary on the emptiness of modern consumer culture and the need for individuals to prioritize meaningful human connections over material possessions.
