Dee Dee formed Dum Dum Girls as a solo project—the name a nod to both The Vaselines’ album, Dum-Dum, and the Iggy Pop song Dum Dum Boys — and released a home-recorded CDR on her label Zoo Music followed by a 7" on HoZac and a 12" EP on Captured Tracks.
Dum Dum Girls released their full-length debut album "I Will Be" on March 30th, 2010 on Sub Pop. Produced by Dee Dee and Richard Gottehrer (Strangeloves, Voidoids, Blondie, The Go-Gos and, more recently, The Raveonettes), I Will Be is neither lo-fi nor too polished. Just under thirty minutes with eleven songs, it’s a short tribute to love, loss, fun, fear and the classic pop form of the ’60s girl groups and early punk rockers.
Dum Dum Girls released their second full-length album "Only In Dreams" on September 26, 2011. The Hold Your Hand Songfacts reports that it was recorded in Josh Homme’s Pink Duck studios and deals with the trauma of parental loss and emotional distance.
Sub Pop released the band's EP "He Gets Me High" in early 2011.
Sub pop released the band's EP " End of Daze November 25, 2012.
On January 28, 2016, Dee Dee announced the closure of the Dum Dum Girls and the creation of a new solo project, Kristin Kontrol.

Dum Dum Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They always have
Before you knew me,
I dreamt of them
I still remember
The day I knew
It was a love-shock,
A few years down the line,
Still savor each day you're mine
A few years down the line,
Still savor each day you're mine
(Day you're mine)
Oh my baby, won't you let me take you for a ride?
Oh my baby, yes it's crazy, for the rest of our lives
Your eyes consume me,
They always have
Before you knew me,
I dreamt of them
A few years down the line,
Still savor each day you're mine
A few years down the line,
Still savor each day you're mine
(Day you're mine)
Oh my baby, won't you let me take you for a ride?
Oh my baby, yes it's crazy, for the rest of our lives
Oh my baby, won't you let me take you for a ride?
Oh my baby, yes it's crazy, for the rest of our lives

Your eyes consume me,
The way you look at me is overwhelming and all-encompassing
They always have
This feeling has been present since we first met
Before you knew me,
Even before we met, I had already felt this connection
I dreamt of them
I had imagined what it would be like to be seen by you
I still remember
This memory is still vivid and important to me
The day I knew
There was a specific moment when I realized I loved you
It was a love-shock,
This realization was sudden and intense
From me to you
It was my love for you that hit me so strongly
A few years down the line,
Even after some time has passed
Still savor each day you're mine
I still appreciate and treasure every moment we have together
(Day you're mine)
The day you became mine is a significant and cherished memory
Oh my baby, won't you let me take you for a ride?
I want to share new experiences and adventures with you

Capt. John Yossarian
nice voice,nice lags, nice song but horrible unbelievable bad guitar sound..pleas get a guitarist for your self or learn how to tune it differently. Still like your performence DDG ;)
Fernando Pont
The only thing that's not so cool is that the vibrato is out of synch with the song. Nothing to do at all with bad sound or bad tuning. You're utterly wrong.
