Mocca is an Indonesian music … Read Full Bio ↴Mocca is an indie pop band from Indonesia.
Mocca is an Indonesian music band formed in 1997 in Bandung, Indonesia. The band's musical style is inspired by the retro sounds of the 70s, with influences of swing, bossa nova, pop and jazz.
The story began when two best friends: -- Arina and Riko -- got together in a college band. After a year of struggling with the boredom of performing other people's music, they decided to write their own songs.
In 1997 they composed four songs, unfortunately, those songs weren’t well accepted by the other members of the band. After caught up in conflicts and tons of disagreements, the band decided to split up leaving Arina and Riko mystified with their deserted materials.
Their debut album "My Diary" contains 13 songs written from a girl's point of view and her diary entries. The album starts with a Once Upon A Time and is followed by a song telling of a first encounter with her Secret Admirer. Then after much hesitation in Twist Me Around, she decides to go steady with the boy in Me & My Boyfriend. In Telephone they break up, understanding that When the Moonlight Shines, they just weren't meant for each other and thus, Rain Will Fall, Life Keeps On Turning.
From waltz and bossa nova to '70s disco and rock, each song (written in English) has a different beat determined by the girl's mood. When playing live, MOCCA is supported by six additional players on keyboards, guitar, percussion, trumpet, trombone and sax.

Twist Me Around
Mocca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey diddle-diddle the cat in the fiddle my heart jumps over the moon
My hands are held while we're crossing the street
It's all I could hope for
Seeing your smile when I tickle your tummy is all I ever wish for
Sometimes you're sweeter than a pie made of lemon
All I need is someone who's willing to stroke my hair
Like a soft blowing breeze.
My poor sentimental side
I've always dreamed of being couple like Daisy and the famous Donald Duck
Harry and Sally or Bonnie and Clyde all you have to do is knock
Sometimes you're sweeter than a pie made of lemon
But sometimes full of secrets like Clark Kent
All I need is someone who's willing to stroke my hair
Like a soft blowing breeze.
My poor sentimental side
All I need is someone who's willing to stroke my hair
Like a soft blowing breeze.
My poor sentimental side
