1) Tank (stylized as TANK) is the name of two British heavy metal bands, both of which stem from a band formed in 1980 by Algy Ward (ex-The Saints, ex-The Damned). The band's brand filthy metal was loved by both punk and metal fans. The original band is known as part of the new wave of British heavy metal movement. Tank was often compared to MotΓΆrhead as both bands were trios fronted by singing bassists, and played a loose, almost punk-styled metal music with often colourful lyrics. Lemmy, of MotΓΆrhead, helped them get their first record deal, and "Fast" Eddie Clarke was picked as producer for their debut album, "Filth Hounds of Hades". Heavily influenced by bands like MotΓΆrhead, they were a productive force of the NWOBHM movement, and are still making music in the 21st century. After legal and creative disputes, Algy Ward led one version of the group while guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans led the other (Tucker/Evans Tank).
2) Tank is the stage name of an American R&B singer, songwriter, musician, and producer, Durrell Babbs.
Tank was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on January 1, 1976 and he was raised in Clinton, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Tank took an instant interest in singing and playing the piano, partially due to his alliance to religion β his cousin directed the church choir and helped the aspiring vocalist foster his singing talent from an early age. His stage name comes from his chiseled physique. A multi-sport athlete in high school, he had the opportunity to play college football. However, Tank decided to focus on music, and his talent eventually led him to an opportunity to sing background vocals for Ginuwine during one of Ginuwine's tours. Next, he found himself singing with Aaliyah and then Blackground Records founder Barry Hankerson, and his son (and company president) Jomo Hankerson took notice, offering Tank the opportunity to become a solo artist. In 2001, Tank realized his ambitions, seeing his debut album, Force of Nature, released to a national audience. This LP rendered the Top 10 R&B ballad, "Maybe I Deserve".
The next year, Tank released his second album, One Man. The single of the same name had chart success as well. He also co-produced the smash hit single "One Minute Man" by Missy Elliott in 2002.
Tank has also made a name for himself as a producer and writer, working with artists such as Dave Hollister, Marques Houston, Omarion, Jamie Foxx, Donell Jones, Monica among others. Along with The Underdogs, he has worked with many different artists over the years and was also a contributor to the score of the film adaptation of the musical Dreamgirls, in which he also had a cameo.
Tank sold what was to be the lead single to his 3rd album, "I Luv Dem Girls", to Marques Houston who renamed it "Strip Club" (this song appears on Marques Houston's 3rd solo album "Veteran"). Tank has recently worked on Kelly Rowland's second album Ms. Kelly on the tracks "The Show" (a duet with Tank himself) and "Ghetto" featuring Snoop Dogg. "Ghetto" is also set to be the album's second single.
Tank released his 3rd solo album entitled "Sex, Love & Pain" on May 15, 2007. The first single of this album is "Please Don't Go". Tank has also formed a group with Ginuwine and Tyrese named TGT. Their first single will be a remix of "Please Don't Go", with an international tour entitled "The Shirts Off Tour" and search for a fourth member to follow.
Tank, along with Tyrese, are set to perform in West Oakland at the Paramount Theater on November 2, 2007.

Tank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Screamin' 'bout what she need, oh
I done got this call a thousand times
I'm leaving, rushing to see, ooh
I got the sirens on
(I'm running every light)
She says she's home alone
Until I get there girl
Stay on the line
It's an emergency
I'm rushing there to handle mine
It's an emergency
'Cause we ain't got a lot of time
I gotta save her, if I'm any later
Somebody might get there before me
Emergency, that 911's for me
Emergency
When I got there, put her on the floor
She leakin' but she still breathin', ooh
Give her mouth to mouth a little more
Repeat it to show her I mean it, oh
I think I know what's wrong
(Lemme turn off all the lights)
She won't be here for long
(If I don't get this right)
Girl, I just can't lose you
So hold on, please

The song "Emergency" by Tank is a story of a man who gets a call from his lady who is in a state of desperation and needs him urgently. He rushes to her side with the sirens on to find her leaking, and although she is still breathing, he knows he must act fast in case she fades away. Throughout the song, Tank is urging her to hold on while promising to take care of her as he tries to fix her condition. The chorus repeats the message of the urgency of the situation and Tank's commitment to saving her life.
The lyrics also express a sense of determination and responsibility as the singer of the story tries to rescue his lady. The line "I gotta save her, if I'm any later, somebody might get there before me" implies a sense of urgency with time being of the essence. The use of medical terms such as "Mouth to mouth" and "doctor" add to the themes of responsibility, and Tank's determination to address the situation. The song's theme is that love requires one to be there for each other in times of need, even during the most intense emergencies.
