Stakka Bo scored a hit in 1993/1994 with the song Here We Go from the debut album Supermarket. This song has been featured on an episode of "Beavis and Butt-head" although Beavis thought it was Ace of Base. Stakka Bo scored another successful single in some European countries with 1996's Great Blondino from the often Stereo MC's-esque album The Great Blondino. The third album, Jr., released almost six years after "The Great Blondino", adopted a more pop-oriented sound, often resembling that of successful 80's artists such as Erasure. However, it more or less completely failed to make any impact and Renck has not released any further Stakka Bo albums since.
Here We Go Again

Here we go-go-go to the temple of consumption
Get your gear and start to spend
Here we go-go-go with a total dedication
Here we go again
Here we go-go-go to the temple of consumption
Get your gear and start to spend
Here we go, here we go, here we go
As some sort of prototype I serve to be
You see tomorrow's dream has never been part of me
Consume today and leave the rest behind you
Tomorrow's a surprise party buy a ticket too (too)
Faster livin', faster, live as fast as you're able
Eat the food while it's still hot on the table (table)
Now spend if you can, the greens are burning in your pocket
If you spend it right now
You'll get as high as a rocket
Everything you don't use will loose it's value tomorrow
Consumed too much today, you can always borrow
This paradigm's the best one since the day of creation
Get your gear and shape up, this is the revelation
Shop till you drop has built this civilization
Don't believe what you hear 'bout the next generation
If you go with a lot of toys, you'll slip away a happy man
The greens are burning in you pocket, spend it while you can
Here we go again
Here we go-go-go to the temple of consumption
Get your gear and start to spend
Here we go-go-go with a total dedication
Here we go again
Here we go-go-go to the temple of consumption
Get your gear and start to spend
Here we go, here we go, here we go
The moon and the stars they all look down on me and say
There's a correlation between tomorrow and today
I say you won't gain a thing on that sick repudiation
We're right here, right now, that's the only situation
You can't fool me, we live on borrowed time
So I spend the funds I have to the nickel and dime
Check it in, check it out, it's not a matter of contention
Get your gear and shape up
And join the church of consumption
Use it in, wear it out, then throw it all away
Go get yourself a new one all you gotta do is pay
Because the more I will get, the more I will own
With a lot of things around me, I will never feel alone
I work around the clock just to earn my livin'
And I wanna get, I won't spend my funds on givin' now
I'm acting irresponsible, is that what you say?
Hey, Somalia got my toaster just the other day
Here we go again
Here we go-go-go to the temple of consumption
Get your gear and start to spend
Here we go-go-go with a total dedication
Here we go again
Here we go-go-go to the temple of consumption
Get your gear and start to spend
Here we go, here we go, here we go
Here we go again
Here we go-go-go to the temple of consumption
Get your gear and start to spend
Here we go-go-go with a total dedication
Oh, oh
Oh
Here we go again
Here we go-go-go to the temple of consumption
Get your gear and start to spend
Here we go-go-go with a total dedication
Here we go again
Here we go-go-go to the temple of consumption
Get your gear and start to spend
Here we go, here we go, here we go
Here we go again (here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
Get your gear and start to spend (here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
Here we go again
Get your gear and start to spend
Here we go again
(Get your gear and start to spend)
Stakka Bo’s song “Here We Go” can be interpreted as a criticism of the modern society’s obsession with consumerism. The song starts off by inviting listeners to dedicate themselves to the “temple of consumption.” Bo encourages listeners to spend fast and furiously, saying that using it right now will get them “as high as a rocket.” Bo portrays himself as a “prototype,” who doesn’t care about tomorrow’s dream, indicating that he only lives in the present without regard for consequences. He also states that everything can be replaced and encourages listeners to consume things while they still have value, saying that everything they don’t use will lose its value tomorrow. Bo goes on to say that consumerism has built civilization and that people should always shop till they drop to be happy.
However, Bo argues that people are living on borrowed time and that there is a correlation between tomorrow and today. He encourages listeners to join the church of consumption and buy into the paradigm of consumerism. Bo says that owning more things will make listeners feel less alone, even though they act irresponsibly. At the end of the song, he acknowledges that he’s acting unreasonably, saying “Is that what you say? Hey, Somalia got my toaster just the other day.”
Overall, the song paints a vivid picture of the dangers of consumerism and the necessity of people to live in the present while considering the future.

Spend as much as you can now and don't worry about saving for the future

Tomorrow is uncertain, so buy into today's consumerism instead

Enjoy the fruits of your consumption while you can
Now spend if you can, the greens are burning in your pocket
You have money burning a hole in your pocket, so spend it now
If you spend it right now, You'll get as high as a rocket
The feeling of consumption can make you feel as good as being high
Everything you don't use will loose it's value tomorrow

Consumerism has played a major role in building our current society
Don't believe what you hear 'bout the next generation
Ignore any negative talk about the future, and continue to consumerism
If you go with a lot of toys, you'll slip away a happy man
If you consume a lot, you'll be happy
The greens are burning in you pocket, spend it while you can
You have money and you should spend it now
The moon and the stars they all look down on me and say
Even the universe is watching me consume
There's a correlation between tomorrow and today
What we do today affects our future
I say you won't gain a thing on that sick repudiation
Rejecting consumerism won't bring any benefits
We're right here, right now, that's the only situation
We should focus on consuming in the present moment
You can't fool me, we live on borrowed time
We don't have forever to enjoy our possessions, so we should consume as much as possible
So I spend the funds I have to the nickel and dime
I will spend every penny I have on my consumerist desires
Check it in, check it out, it's not a matter of contention
The act of consuming should not be questioned
And join the church of consumption
Fully embrace consumerism like it's a religion
Use it in, wear it out, then throw it all away
Use things until they are no longer useful, then dispose of them and buy new ones
Go get yourself a new one all you gotta do is pay
Buying new things is easy as long as you have the money
Because the more I will get, the more I will own
The more I consume, the more possessions I will have
With a lot of things around me, I will never feel alone
Consumerism can offer a false sense of security and companionship
I work around the clock just to earn my livin'
I work hard to make money so I can spend it on consumerism
And I wanna get, I won't spend my funds on givin' now
I am focused on satisfying my own material desires, not giving to others
I'm acting irresponsible, is that what you say?
Some people may view consumerism as an irresponsible way to live
Hey, Somalia got my toaster just the other day
An example of how consumerism can cause waste and excess
