1. Leftside is a popular Jamaica… Read Full Bio ↴There are two artists by this name:
1. Leftside is a popular Jamaican dancehall deejay (rapper) and producer, renown for his alter-ego "Dr Evil" and the work with his former partner Esco.
As a solo artist, he's had hits with "Dem Gone" and "Cowboy". As the duo Leftside & Esco, he performed the vocals on the smash hit "Belly Nug Bang (Tuck In Yu Belly)", and as the persona Dr Evil (also with Esco) he made the dancehall charts with "More Punanny", "No STD" and "Stay Far From We".
Most recently he has collaborated with artists Blak Diamon, Bugle, and Konshens for the radio hit "Forget The World".
All tracks performed by Leftside both solo and with Esco were produced by himself, and alongside Esco when they were a duo.
Leftside also has a string of popular videos on Youtube where he performs imitations of various pop-culture celebrities.
2. Founded in the summer of 2004 by Dennis ( Drums ), Andre (Bass), Lasse (Guitar) and Matze (Guitar & Vocals), the german band “Leftside” soon developed their own energetic style characterized by a pulsing mix of fast punk songs, calm ballads and danceable ska. Their declared aim is to make melodic punk rock. Most of the songs are in German and written by themselves dealing with everyday situations, ranging from love to politics.
A couple of Gigs with artists like ZSK, Broilers, Fuckin’ Faces, Zaunpfahl, No Exit, The Aggrolites, Sonne Ost, Shit Lives On, Kind im Magen? or Nevermind show that these relatively young boys really seem to like being on stage and never miss an occasion to play live. To have fun is their self-proclaimed motivation.
After one year the group could record its first two songs of their repertoire for a small number compilation published for a local youth event. This first success was followed by a demo tape which was solely used for sales promotion. The 9 track compact disk is called “Ehrlich und unzensiert” and was recorded in their own rehearsal room. Next years’ plan is to produce another two CD-compilations as well as an EP.
The boys who are still playing in their original instrumentation can be contacted via the Internet. The site www.leftside-punk.de provides loads of information about the band, videos, songs and pictures. Take a look!

With the maxi smile and the mini clothes
She makes my blood as hot as the sun
Heavens, good heavens, I got to run
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-locomotion

Wait for me, what is your name?
Are you alone, that's a shame?
Didn't mama tell you that little girls
Need a man like me in this wild world?

In the lyrics of Leftside's song "Locomotion," the singer describes being captivated by a woman who exudes confidence and sensuality. The opening lines set the scene with vivid imagery, as he marvels at her alluring appearance with a "maxi smile and mini clothes." The mention of his blood "hot as the sun" conveys the intense attraction he feels towards her, suggesting a physical and possibly romantic connection. The repetition of "Heavens, good heavens" and the urgency to run further emphasize the overwhelming impact she has on him.
The chorus, with its energetic repetition of "locomotion" and "moving," evokes a sense of excitement and momentum. It could symbolize the singer's desire to keep up with the pace set by the woman, perhaps indicating his willingness to follow her lead or match her vibrant energy. The instrumental interlude provides a brief moment of musical expression, allowing the listener to feel the groove and rhythm of the song before diving back into the narrative.
As the lyrics progress, the singer attempts to engage with the woman, expressing interest in knowing her name and whether she is alone. He playfully suggests that "little girls need a man like me in this wild world," hinting at a dynamic where he sees himself as a protector or provider figure. This playful banter adds a flirtatious tone to the song, underscoring the singer's charm and confidence in his pursuit of the woman.
In the final verses, the woman reveals her name as "Hazy," a fitting moniker that sparks intrigue and reinforces her mysterious appeal. The singer is enthralled by her uniqueness, declaring that he has never met anyone like her before. His declaration that he "got to have" her signifies a determination to win her affection, underscoring the intensity of his feelings. The repetition of the chorus towards the end reinforces the upbeat and catchy nature of the song, leaving listeners with a sense of exhilaration and anticipation. Overall, "Locomotion" conveys a tale of attraction, flirtation, and the excitement of pursuing a romantic interest.

Heavens, good heavens, there she goes
Oh my, look at her go
With the maxi smile and the mini clothes
Her big smile and tiny outfit caught my attention
She makes my blood as hot as the sun
She ignites passion and desire within me
Heavens, good heavens, I got to run
Oh my, I need to catch up to her
Wait for me, what is your name?
Hold on, tell me your name
Are you alone, that's a shame?
Are you by yourself? That's unfortunate
Didn't mama tell you that little girls
Hasn't your mother taught you that young women
Need a man like me in this wild world?
Require a guy like me in this crazy world?
Heavens, good heavens, your name is Hazy
Oh my, your name is confusing
(What a nice sound, it makes me crazy)
(Such a pleasant name, it drives me wild)
Never met a girl like you
I've never encountered someone like you before
Got to have you, yes, I do
I must have you, that's for sure
Hooohooo

Meu Deus!!! Que tempo esse. Quem viveu sabe e eu era só um garoto. Épocas das cocotas, um estilo próprio das garotas daquele tempo. kkkkkk. Camisa Hang ten, calça de um brim leve e azul com quatro botões à mostra, tênis rainha Yacht... Cabelos dos garotos parafinados e louros. O skate já era uma realidade. Isso era 1976. Muita música boa. BTO, Nazareth, Left Side...
