The voices of Goldie Foxx and Dyna Mink stated that they had originally written a song for a British girl band that was dropped from their label and were put in contact with Cherry's vocalist, who wrote the lyrics and performed the song with them. The members claim that most of their correspondence is through email, although their song "Who Is in Your Heart Now?" was written when they first had a face to face meeting. The identities of the band members are unknown, and all interaction with fans is conducted via their fictional counterparts; however, it has been speculated by fans that the Finnish musician Teemu Brunila provides the voice of Cherry.
Studio Killers also announced that they were going to start having live shows, starting with the 2014 Ruisrock festival in Finland, followed by Ilosaarirock. To prepare for this performance and a world tour, they began a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter for £50,000 and successfully gathered £55,176. In 2014 the band performed live at Ruisrock and Ilosaarirock festivals. The real-life counterparts of the characters Goldie Foxx and Dyna Mink appeared on stage wearing masks, and the character Cherry was present in the form of screen projection.
During 2020, the 2013 single "Jenny" started gaining success over the platform TikTok and started a new trend on the video-sharing app. The band decided to release a lyric video to the song on 13 January 2021. The track later received a remix by Danish DJ and producer Faustix, on 10 February 2021. A new version of the single "Jenny" with the help of German singer Kim Petras was released on 26 March 2021.
In June 2021, the group collaborated with electronic music duo The Knocks and released the single "Bedroom Eyes". They later featured in a remix of the song by Nathan Barnatt under the persona of Dad Feels. In December 2021, an animated pilot Studio Killers 404 was released on YouTube and in March 24th, 2023, they released a new single, "Underneath my Raincoat" (now shortened to "Raincoat").
Ode to the Bouncer
Studio Killers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just gotta dance right now, it's critical to do
No, I haven't had no dope
Lift up the velvet rope
Mr doorman stop teasing
I'm freezing out here
It's my birthday tonight
And I'm not wearing trainers
Not to mention knickers
It's futile to debate
With St Peter at the gate
Made of protein milkshake
And low carb intake
'Cause all in all you're just
Another prick at the door
Oh, let me in or I'll get physical with you
I just gotta dance right now, it's critical to do
Bouncer, hey bouncer,
Bouncer, bounce bounce bouncer
I just gotta dance right now, it's critical
Bouncer, bouncer
Bouncer, empowered and aroused
I see it in your trousers
And in the way you browse her
Look she's in!
What? Her dress is up to waterline
That bitch is clearly borderline
Nose as white as Snow White's, in moonlight
We stand in awe in front of
Another prick at the door
Oh, let me in or I'll get physical with you
I just gotta dance right now, it's critical to do
Bouncer, hey bouncer,
Bouncer, bounce bounce bouncer
I just gotta dance right now, it's critical
Bouncer, hey bouncer
Bounce bounce bouncer
Oh, let me in or I'll get physical
I just gotta dance right now, it's critical
So you can play karate
You thick illiterati
I'm a black belt in life
So go home to your ugly wife
You forgot in your wisdom
The window to the ladies room
A whole new possibility for a cat like me
Oh, let me in or I'll get physical with you
I just gotta dance right now, it's critical to do
Bouncer, hey bouncer,
Bouncer, bounce bounce bouncer
I just gotta dance right now, it's critical
Bouncer, hey bouncer
The song “Ode to the Bouncer” by Studio Killers is a fun and quirky track about a partygoer demanding entry into a club from the bouncer. The lyrics offer a witty take on the frustrating experience of waiting in line and dealing with a stern gatekeeper. The song starts with the singer pleading to be let in and promising to dance immediately, showing the urgency and excitement of the moment. She argues that she has friends inside and that it's her birthday, as she tries to rationalize her way in.
However, the bouncer is unimpressed and seems to be mocking her, making jokes and playing around with her. The singer calls him out for being a “prick at the door” and tells him she'll get physical if he doesn't let her in. In the pre-chorus, she makes fun of the bouncer's posture and empowers herself by calling him a “thick illiterati” and claiming to be a “black belt in life”. She then reveals she knows a secret way in through the women's bathroom window and includes that in her plea to be let in.
Overall, the song is a humorous and relatable take on a very common experience, with catchy beats and quirky lyrics that make it hard not to dance along.
Line by Line Meaning
Oh, let me in or I'll get physical with you
I'm desperate to get inside this club, and I'm willing to use force to make it happen
I just gotta dance right now, it's critical to do
Dancing is incredibly important to me at this moment, and I need to do it as soon as possible
No, I haven't had no dope
I'm not under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Lift up the velvet rope
Please move aside and let me enter the club
Mr doorman stop teasing
Stop taunting me by not letting me in
I'm freezing out here
It's incredibly cold outside and I want to get inside
See, I've got friends inside
I have friends already inside the club
It's my birthday tonight
Tonight is my birthday
And I'm not wearing trainers
I'm dressed up and not wearing sneakers
Not to mention knickers
And I'm not wearing underwear either
It's futile to debate
Arguing with the bouncer is pointless
With St Peter at the gate
It feels like I'm trying to get into heaven rather than a nightclub
Made of protein milkshake
The bouncer is really muscular and intimidating
And low carb intake
The bouncer is really strict with his diet and exercise regimen
'Cause all in all you're just
At the end of the day, you're just
Another prick at the door
You're just another unpleasant bouncer guarding the entrance
Bouncer, hey bouncer,
I'm addressing the bouncer directly
Bouncer, bounce bounce bouncer
You're bouncing people from entering the club
Bouncer, empowered and aroused
You're feeling powerful and turned on by your position
I see it in your trousers
Your arousal is visible in your pants
And in the way you browse her
You're checking out the women who are trying to enter
Look she's in!
One of the women has been allowed to enter the club, and you're excited about that
What? Her dress is up to waterline
You're making a judgement about the woman's outfit
That bitch is clearly borderline
You're insulting the woman and accusing her of being unstable
Nose as white as Snow White's, in moonlight
You're accusing the woman of using cocaine
We stand in awe in front of
We're intimidated by
Another prick at the door
Another unpleasant bouncer blocking our way
So you can play karate
You're trying to act tough
You thick illiterati
You're stupid and uneducated
I'm a black belt in life
I'm experienced and skilled in navigating the world
So go home to your ugly wife
You should go home to your unattractive spouse
You forgot in your wisdom
You failed to consider in your decision-making
The window to the ladies room
That there's an alternative entrance to the club through the women's bathroom window
A whole new possibility for a cat like me
This presents a new opportunity for me to enter the club
Bouncer, bouncer
I'm again addressing the bouncer
Bouncer, hey bouncer
I'm still trying to persuade the bouncer to let me in
Bounce bounce bouncer
I'm using a catchy phrase to try and convince the bouncer
