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.

U like mi ropa of junky queen - don't dare me, u're sixteen!
I'm crashed in my cama , deep in da coma – (last noche i cocoed so…)
I call da medico and da man he comes, con the helico to catch my mini bones
A time code machine 'sync' the scene (to many R frames playing)
I am in da spin yo !it's porno time (shak*¨+nGB*% YO !)
I call da medico and da man he comes, con the helico to catch my mini bones
I'm searching for a sex teen , I'm in love with a locateena
Take me to the fonky town , my body leaves da ground
I'm searching for a sex teen, I'm in love with a locateena
She left a trauma in my cabeza - leave me down - funky town
A bomba latina, a loco latino => they danced all night then she had to go
Where I don't know , where I don't know yo
Zo I really don't known but i'm gonna hunt high and low
So baby don't you follow no guapo cause i'm gonna find you
AIE, 've got a hole in my mind - I'm in love with a flying bing bing
To find a star in da night summer sky I need a line => I coco so
I call da medico and da man he comes, con the helico to catch my mini bones
I call da medico and da man he comes, con the helico to catch my mini bones
Take me to the fonky town, my body leaves da ground
I'm searching for a sex teen , I'm in love with a locateena
Take me to the fonky town, my body leaves da ground
I'm searching for a sex teen , I'm in love with a locateena

The lyrics of "Da Teen Town" by Shaka Ponk are complex and ambiguous, layered with sexual undertones and surreal imagery. The song tells the story of a young man who is lost and searching for something, possibly a sexual experience with a teenage girl. He describes being in a "coma" and calling for a doctor to retrieve his "mini bones," which could be interpreted in a sexual context. He also talks about the need for a "time code machine" to sync the scene, which further reinforces the idea of a surreal, dream-like state.
In the second verse, he mentions a girl who left a "trauma" in his head and dances with a "loco latino." Despite not knowing where she is, he declares his intention to find her. The lyrics continue with the repeated chorus of "take me to the fonky town" and end with a series of computer commands, adding to the surreal, fragmented nature of the song.
Overall, the lyrics of "Da Teen Town" suggest a sense of longing and searching for something elusive, possibly tied to sexual desire or emotional connection. The surreal imagery and ambiguous phrases add depth and complexity to the song's meaning.
