Their album "Ridin' the Tiger" in 1997, released on the White Jazz record label, marked a significant breakthrough both artistically and commercially, positioning them among the leaders of the Scandinavian hard rock movement. "Basement Apes," their fourth album, signed with Sony Music, and "Automatic Thrill" became their best-selling record.
Gluecifer performed at notable events such as the 2004 Quart Festival, opening for Monster Magnet. However, the band announced their breakup in July 2005, despite being considered one of Norway's successful rock bands. Their impact extended beyond music, with contributions to the Norwegian film "Izzat," featuring their song "Desolate City" on the 2008 compilation album "Kings of Rock - Best Of And Rarities."
Following the breakup, members pursued individual projects, including Captain Poon forming the band Bloodlights in 2006. Gluecifer's music was also featured in the soundtrack of the film "The Social Network" with the song "Black Book Lodge." In 2015, Gluecifer's studio albums were re-released on Captain Poon's label, Konkurs Productions. The following year, Captain Poon toured as the guitarist for Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg. In 2017, Gluecifer reunited for several festival appearances in 2018 and reunion shows in Oslo.

Put Me On A Plate
Gluecifer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a tummy rollercoaster alright
Drowned in sauce, egg on top, all the sides with a big fat butter dollop
I'm a full fuckin' dinner to night, outta sight all right(ext)
Why don't you go right on and put me on a plate now
Put me on a plate now
I am done and ready to eat
So good that you can never get enough
Got me tickling from my head to my feet
I'm like butter on the toast just right
Like the gravy on the roast so right
Book yourself a table for a weekday lunch
Call the maitre' dee know you got that hunch
Peek into the kitchen you can hear what it says Bring a big napkin this is gonna be a big mess
Why don't you go right on and put me on a plate now
Put me on a plate now
I am done and ready to eat
You can sit right down and dig into the good stuff
So good that you can never get enough
Got me tickling from my head to my feet
Grab a knife and fork and spoon
Got a table ready at noon
Have a grape or Have a prune
Come alone or bring a goon
Like a wham bam leg o lamb egg and chips and ham Like a ding dong sing song bangin' on the gong
Like a woo hoo kung fu pepper in a curry stew Tick tock bomb clock ready for the food shock
