By the end of the 80s they released three more albums in quick succession - Varme Dager (1987), Forbudte Følelser (1988), Blaff (1989) and Rock'n'roll Party (1990).
By then the frontman Michael Krohn and the rest of the band felt they were "stuck" in the band, and they decided to split.
For the next few years they played a few farewell-shows, but by 1995 they recorded a new album called Perler For Svin. Seemed they wouldn't quit after all...
The 1996 live album Live Again followed, and the studio effort Til Helvete Med Raga Rockers (1997). In 2000 they released an album called simply Raga Rockers, but then they went into some sort of hiatus.
In 2005, a compilation album was released, followed by an extensive tour.
In 2007 they released the album Übermensch, proving they are still to be counted among Norwegian rock's finest.
Full Tank
Raga Rockers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hvis du vil ha penger, gå i en bank
Men hvis du vil ha kjærlighet, gå ikke lenger
Jeg har det du trenger, full tank
Det finnes ingen lov, som hjelper mot begjær
Vil ikke være grå, det er bare slik det er
Jeg går på rov, sitter oppi trær
Oooh! Oooh! Hey!
Men jeg skal bli din konge, hvis du vil bli min dronning
Skal bade deg i melk, og gni deg inn med honning
Så skal jeg slikke deg ren, fordi du er så pen
Oooh! Oooh!
Oooh! Oooh!
All right!
Oooh! Oooh!
Oooh! Oooh!
Oooh! Oooh!
Oooh! Oooh!
The lyrics to Raga Rockers' "Full Tank" talk about the different things people pursue in life, such as dreams and money, but the singer asserts that if you want love, you don't need to look any further because he has what you need in his "full tank". The song takes a playful and slightly suggestive tone in the second half, with the singer bragging about what he can offer his object of affection - he'll be her king if she'll be his queen, he'll bathe her in milk and honey, and he'll even lick her clean because she's so beautiful. The song strikes a balance between being tongue-in-cheek and genuinely romantic, with the singer offering himself up as the answer to anyone searching for love.
The chorus of the song, with its repeated "Oooh! Oooh!", adds to the playful and slightly silly feel of the song, making it catchy and memorable. The lyrics mention the idea of desire and temptation, with the singer saying he's not content to be "gray" and that he's willing to go to any lengths to get what he wants. The imagery of him sitting in trees and staring down at the object of his affection is meant to be humorous, further emphasizing the lighthearted nature of the song.
