Phunk Junkeez fuse a number of different styles in their music, from hardcore punk to trip-hop. Many of the band's early shows involved breaking into warehouses in the Phoenix area and performing to fans who were all told by word-of-mouth, attracting the attention of local police who threatened to throw the band in jail. These parties are still rumored to be continuing to this day.
Their music attracted a loyal following. At a September 24, 1993 Concert at the Mesa Amphitheater in Mesa, AZ, (opening for dada), the band had to be pulled from the stage. The band played for several minutes past its alloted set. The band would not leave the stage despite the requests of the producer and threats of calling the police. This forced the venue to shut off the mics of the Junkeez. Despite this, and the disdain of the crowd, the junkeez continued to play for several minutes. After the junkeez left the stage, a large percentage of the audience left the venue, not wanting to see the mild pop of dada, despite the popularity of their hit song "i'm going to dizzkneeland"j
The band released their self-titled debut-album in 1992. This album, as well as Injected (1995), Fear of a Wack Planet (1998) and Sex, Drugs and Rap N' Roll (2001) were all released by the independent label Ichiban Records and received virtually no radio support in the United States due to their at-times-explicit lyrics. Injected did produce one successful single, "Chuck", which was played in rotation on Australian youth network Triple J, which has very few restrictions on profanities on the air. The song came in at number #56 on the Hottest 100 that year.
In 2002, Phunk Junkeez signed a recording deal with Suburban Noize Records and released their fifth album, Rock It Science, the following year. A new album, entitled The Good, the Bad, the Phunkee, is scheduled for release 2007.
Since then, Phunk Junkeez have been rocking the streets of your backyard and sending your head into another twisted lyrical world of funk!
Devil Woman
Phunk Junkeez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About a bitch who did me wrong!
She's just a devil woman [x6]
She's just a devil, she's not on my level
I need a woman on my level
Shit, goddamn
What the fuck you think I am, a sucker?
Hold up, you're movin' too fast
Lettin' everybody fuck your ass
Well you're cashed like a bowl in a bong
You ain't nothin' but a song, hooker
She's just a devil woman [Repeat x6]
Oh the second verse, it's worse than the first
Instead of gettin' better, the shit got worse
Freebies, freebies, givin' up the freebies
Teenage hooker givin' me the heebie-geebies
Make me feel like I'm all alone
And that bitch is evil to the bone
That's okay, I got my soul
And I got my Phunk Junkeez
She's just a devil woman [Repat x6]
Fuck that bitch, devil bitch [Repeat x8]
Fuckin' bitch
Pissed me off
You hurt my feelings
You fucked my friends
I'm buyin' cigarettes
And I don't even smoke
What the fuck
I hope you choke
You're just a devil woman [Repeat x6]
Fuckin' bitch!

Line by Line Meaning
This is a sequel to a song
This is a continuation of a song previously made
About a bitch who did me wrong!
About a woman who has done harm to me
She's just a devil woman [x6]
She is not a real devil, but she has done a lot of bad things and should be avoided/scoffed at.
She's just a devil, she's not on my level
This woman is bad news and not equivalent in standard to me
I need a woman on my level
I need someone who matches my standards and is good for me
Shit, goddamn
This is an intense and frustrating situation
What the fuck you think I am, a sucker?
Do you think I am weak and gullible?
Fuck that shit, ya cocksuckin'
I don't care about that and you can forget it
Hold up, you're movin' too fast
You are moving too quickly and I need you to slow down
Lettin' everybody fuck your ass
Allowing many people to take advantage of you and your willingness
Well you're cashed like a bowl in a bong
You are all used up or washed out like an empty pipe
You ain't nothin' but a song, hooker
You are a meaningless or disposable person
Oh the second verse, it's worse than the first
The continuation of this story is even more negative and disappointing than before
Instead of gettin' better, the shit got worse
Things did not improve but became even more difficult
Freebies, freebies, givin' up the freebies
Giving away things without regard for their value or significance
Teenage hooker givin' me the heebie-geebies
An underaged prostitute is giving me an internal sense of discomfort
Make me feel like I'm all alone
This situation is causing me to feel isolated and unsupported
And that bitch is evil to the bone
This woman is devious and untrustworthy from head to toe
That's okay, I got my soul
I am at peace and have a good sense of self-worth despite the problems
And I got my Phunk Junkeez
I have my own band/group of individuals who support me and make me feel better
Fuck that bitch, devil bitch [Repeat x8]
I have a strong hatred for this woman and her actions
Fuckin' bitch
This woman is a source of anger and frustration
Pissed me off
I am very angry and upset
You hurt my feelings
Your actions have negatively affected my emotions
You fucked my friends
You betrayed me by having sexual relations with people I know
I'm buyin' cigarettes
I am going to have a cigarette to calm down or as a futile consolation
And I don't even smoke
I do not regularly smoke cigarettes, but I am so upset that I need something to soothe me
What the fuck
I am extremely surprised or exasperated
I hope you choke
I wish ill will on you
You're just a devil woman [Repeat x6]
You are a person who has caused much harm and scorn
Fuckin' bitch!
That woman is despicable and contemptible!
