Shaka Ponk is a Paris-based band that has created a sound that blends electro, rock, punk, and dance with a stunning live show that combines advanced digital animation with an unsurpassed display of energy from the band members. Released under the French record label tôt Ou tard/ Guess What! (Yael Naim - Piers Faccini), Bad Porn Movie Trax is composed of fourteen high-energy tracks including singles "How We Kill Stars" and "Do".
Shaka Ponk got its start between Paris and Berlin in 2005 from a concept that brings together music, imagery and activism. The former web designer and imaginative frontman of the group, Frah, along with guitarist, CC, came up with a highly original project that combined conventional rock-n-roll elements (dirty guitar riffs and cardiac stimulating beats) with new techniques such as VJing, which mixes sounds and images around an animated monkey character named Goz who is as much a part of the group as the other five members. Since then, the band has been extremely active online creating complex videos and innovative motion graphic work as well as their own online channel, "Monkey TV".
Shaka Ponk performed in New York City for the first time October 2009 in the celebrated CMJ Musical Festival and on November 7, AOL chose the track "How We Kill Stars" off the new album Bad Porn Movie Trax as the Music Video of the Day. The band released the album in the United States on March 1, 2010.
In 2011 the band added a female singer, Samaha Sam, and released their album The Geeks and the Jerkin' Socks in June, 2011.

Shaka Ponk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Once upon a time I had a man
Once upon a boring night I was single again
Some may say I'm supa picky girl
From another world
But I found my pearl
You make my day
Like who you are
You changed my vision of all the sudden
I'd pick a guy like you, for everyone
So loopylicious
You're sweet and vicious
You make me feel feel feel like a real killa brunette localicious
Tiny losers begin' on their knees
Tryin' to be sexy, crying "baby baby please"
Other melo-manic point of view
Baby I've got through 'cause I found you
You got me rising like a star
You make my day
Like who you are
You changed my vision of all the sudden
I'd pick a guy like you, for everyone
So loopylicious
You're sweet and vicious
You make me feel feel feel like a real killa brunette localicious
So karmalicious
You're cute and vicious
You make me feel feel feel
Mighty real real real
Hey donchaknow
I don't like the man with the flowers
I don't like the boring cafe
I'm not into romantic lovers
I wish every girl know you baby
Hey donchaknow
I like ta play
Come closer now
Come closer and kick me again and again and again
You got me rising like a star
You make my day
Like who you are
You changed my vision of all the sudden
I'd pick a guy like you, for everyone
So loopylicious
You're sweet and vicious
You make me feel feel feel like a real killa brunette localicious
You make me feel feel feel like a real killa brunette localicious

Once upon a time I had a man
There was a time when I was in a relationship
Once upon a boring night I was single again
I became single again after a dull, uneventful night
Some may say I'm supa picky girl
People may think I am extremely choosy when it comes to men
From another world
I have unique preferences and expectations in a man
But I found my pearl
However, I found the perfect one for me

Tiny losers begin' on their knees
Insignificant people are begging and trying hard to impress
Tryin' to be sexy, crying "baby baby please"
They are attempting to seduce by begging and pleading
Other melo-manic point of view
From a different perspective
Baby I've got through 'cause I found you
But I overcame it all because I found you
