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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got my ears full of shit I got my bruises to spit
Here's my sweet vendetta
I'm a tweet till I'm betta
Type ma deep deep anger
Till there's blood on my finger
Quicka sinna liar pull the trigger yu losa
Watch your (ah), I'm a gamer!
Free free free from material world
A notorious girl in the jungle
Wanna get free
Wanna get free
Wanna get free
Wanna get free
I'm sitting eating crispy cream in front of my screen
I see the whole world moving something's wrong with my genes
Got the geek supapowa who's da chick pixel eater
Criticizing my behavior let me come up with ma comment, supastrike
Explosive dislike in your face
Your profile I erase
Lost case, lust race
Litta puta selling tits to some pedophile freaks
Free free free from material world
A notorious girl in the jungle
Wanna get free (wanna get free)
Wanna get free (wanna get free)
Wanna get free (wanna get free)
Wanna get free
Jesus is on the line for you
Just tell the family and crew
You liar, you share a car
Darling I'm not the only one
Criticizing my behavior
Let me come up with ma comment, supastrike
Wanna get free
Wanna get free
Wanna get free
Wanna get free
Wanna get free

The lyrics of Shaka Ponk's song "Wanna Get Free" speak to the frustration and inner conflict experienced by the singer. He describes feeling overwhelmed by the troubles in his mind and the negativity he hears around him, leading him to seek a sense of power and release. He expresses this through his "sweet vendetta" and online persona, using social media as a means to vent his anger and gain a sense of control. The chorus, "wanna get free" is repeated multiple times throughout the song, expressing the singer's desire to escape the constraints of the material world and transcend his current state of being.
The singer also takes aim at the hypocrisy and shallowness of modern society, criticizing those who use social media to sell themselves and exploit others. He asserts his own individuality and strength in the face of these pressures, using his online presence as a means of resistance.
The use of technology and online culture throughout the lyrics reflects the way in which these aspects of modern life can both connect and isolate individuals. The singer is both empowered and imprisoned by his reliance on his computer and the internet, seeking to break free from its grip while simultaneously using it to assert himself.
Overall, "Wanna Get Free" is a powerful critique of contemporary society and a rallying cry for individual freedom and self-expression.
