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.

Yeah Ooooh!
Lie on the floor, do you want some more?
The guy is gone, you're left alone
Don't be a fool It's not "so cool"
The guy is gone, you've got to move on
U gotta pack up your stuff
'Cause no one is so tough
You betta run run, I think u betta run pretty baby
You betta run run, I think u betta run pretty baby
You walk again? Love you my friend!
You fucked the blues? Great fuckin' news!
I don't like that "Goz", a new friend of yours
He's not your type, He's gonna be bad
He's gonna make it repeating
Scratch on your skin and your skin is so thin, thin
Thinner than u think.
You betta run run, I think u betta run pretty baby
You betta run run, I think u betta run pretty baby
You've got a gun, gun
What's up with the gun, a little horny hey?
You've lost again, my lonely friend, your sister soul
You learn again ' about the men ' you have no control
This is the story repeating, tears on your skin
And I try once again not to take it on the chin
I cannot do more, and I know for sure
That you and me it's real now u know what I feel
We betta gum gum, honey betta gum together honey!
Yeah ooh!
In the first verse of Shaka Ponk’s “Run Run Run”, the singer addresses a person who has just been left alone by their significant other. The singer tells this person not to be foolish and to move on from the departing lover. The line “No one can freeze on memories” emphasizes the importance of letting go of the past and focusing on the present. The chorus encourages this person to run away from their problems and start anew. The second verse speaks to the idea of rebound relationships as a way of moving on. The singer urges the friend to be careful of a new person in their life by the name of “Goz” and warns that this person is not right for them. The lyrics “He's gonna make it repeating, scratch on your skin and your skin is so thin, thin, Thinner than you think” suggest that this new person will only cause more pain.
The rest of the song continues to reinforce the idea of moving on, with the lines “You’ve lost again, my lonely friend, your sister soul”. This shows the singer sympathizing with the friend and telling them to learn from their mistakes. The repetition of the chorus at the end emphasizes that the best course of action for this person is to run away from their problems and start anew. Overall, “Run Run Run” is a cautionary tale about the dangers of holding onto the past and the importance of moving forward.
