2. Rooster were an English rock band. They rapidly gained popularity in countries like Japan ,Singapore and Australia, among other East Asian countries.
Rooster were formed in 2002 by Nick Atkinson (vocals), Luke Potashnick (guitar), Dave Neale (drums) and Ben Smyth (bass). Atkinson and Potashnick were former school friends who reunited while living in London, after both admitted they were struggling to make an impact with their respective bands. They formed Rooster with Neale and Smyth and, after only a few live shows, were signed to the new BMG affiliate label Brightside.
The band's self-styled "griff rock" combined hard rock with pop but was marketed primarily at the UK teen rock market recently cornered by Busted and McFly. Rooster's debut single, "Come Get Some", reached the UK Top 10 in November 2004. Live shows saw the band improvising and extending songs; Neale often performed a four minute long drum solo during "Drag The Sunrise Down". Rooster were known to incorporate covers, such as, Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love", Free's "All Right Now", Jamiroquai's "Deeper Underground", Blackstreet's "No Diggity" and The Rolling Stone's "Satisfaction" into their live sets. Perhaps one of their problems was the fact that on CD they were one band but on stage they were very much another, giving much confusion to their predominantly teen fanbase.
Rooster's self-titled first album reached no. 3 in the UK charts. However, after spending time in Japan, they had become less well-known in the UK, and their second album "Circles and Satellites" only reached number 193 in the charts, mainly through record stores and websites having little or no stock of the album. This was due to a severe delay in its release. The album, recorded in LA ,was totally remixed and the record company was less than impressed by the route the boys were taking. As a consequence they parted company with their record label who refused to support their change from pre marketed Busted types to fully fledged rockers. Inevitably, the band announced their split via their MySpace on 24th January 2007.
No Diggity
Rooster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby got 'em up open all over town
Strictly biz, she don't play around
She covers much ground
Got game by the pound
Getting paid is her forte
Each and every day, the true player way
I think about the daughter all the time
East side to the west side
Pushin' fat rides, it's no surprise
She got tricks in the stash
Stacking up the cash
Fast when it comes to the gas
By no means average
As long as she's got to have it
Oh baby, you're a perfect ten,
I wanna get in
Can I get down, so I can win?
I like the way you work it
No diggity,
I got to bag it up
I like the way you work it
I like to bag it up now
I like the way you work it
I try to bag it up
I like the way that you work it
No diggity baby
She's got class and style
She's managed by the town
My baby never acts wild
She's very low key on the profile
Catching feelings is unknown
Let me tell you how it goes
Curve's the word, spin's the verb
Lovers in curves, so freak what you heard oooohh
Rollin' with the phatness
You don't even know what the half is
You've gotta pay to play
Just for Shorty bang bang to look your way
I like the way you work it
Trump tight, all day, everyday
You're blowing my mind, maybe in time
Baby, I can get you in my ride ooh
I like the way you work it
No diggity
I try to bag it up
I like the way you work it
I'd like to bag it up now
I like the way you work it
No diggity
I try to bag it up
I like the way that you work it
No diggity baby
Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
That girl looks good
(Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo)
Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
You're my kind of girl
(Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo)
Yeah, I like the way you work it
No diggity
I got to bag it up
I like the way you work it
I like to bag it up now
I like the way you work it
No diggity
I try to bag it up
I like the way that you work it
No diggity baby
