1) Tank (stylized as … Read Full Bio ↴There are mutliple artists with this name:
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 Motörhead as both bands were trios fronted by singing bassists, and played a loose, almost punk-styled metal music with often colourful lyrics. Lemmy, of Motörhead, 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 Motörhead, 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 — 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 also is the spokesperson for computer game, "激戰" (GuildWars) and composed a song for the game.
Since then, "TANK" had became one of the most popular keyword among new artists to be searched in search engines.
While TANK was choosing songs to be fitted to his debut album, he had uploaded several songs and had set a poll on wretch.cc to be listened by his friends and let them vote for songs to be fitted in his new album. To his surprise, thousands of fans came to his blog to listen to his songs.
TANK's debut album, Fighting 生存之道 (Fighting, The Law of Living) is a fusion of Hip Hop, RnB, Rock and traditional Chinese music.

Tank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me your favorite and I'll tell you mine
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go
Remember when we started having sex
Remember when I first got it wet
Call after call tryin to hook it up
Fussin and fightin all of the time
Remember when I said it was mine
I can think of numerous times
On your couch, on your porch, takin my time
I want it like I'm fresh out of jail
I want it like I'm fresh out of jail
You always unlock myself
Oh you know you do me so well
Come before breakfast you know what I want
I like it from the back to the front
You never pulled no stunts
We might make love and then not speak for months
CHORUS:
There's so many times
So many times
We done hooked up, so many times
Tell me your favorite and I'll tell you mine
I want it like I'm fresh out of jail
I want it like I'm fresh out of jail
There's so many times
Tell me your favorite and I'll tell you mine
Remember when we went on the lake
You wasn't scared of the snakes
Out in the woods, nobody but us
There was no reason to rush
Down on the ground, dirt all around
I still remember the sounds
and everytime you wear your braids
I get flashbacks of the day at lake
I want it like I'm fresh out of jail
I want it like I'm fresh out of jail
Cool me down before I melt
You know how good that it felt
In the back of the truck at the mall
So many times I recall
But it I had to choose one
I would go with the day you almost had me sprung
CHORUS:
There's so many times
So many times
We done hooked up, so many times
Tell me your favorite and I'll tell you mine
I want it like I'm fresh out of jail
I want it like I'm fresh out of jail
There's so many times
Tell me your favorite and I'll tell you mine
Moan and Groan on the floor
Tossin, Turnin, and Pushin
To and to the flutish
Being wit you is a fetish
You think it'll stop girl forget it
Positions are invented
I can see us at a weddin
Speaking of you tryin to get it
We both are like magnets
because we're always attachin
Both of us gotta have it
Plus we keep each other laughin
You never can tell what'll happen
Always stickin and jabbin
All over scratchin and grabbin
I don't think I'll ever break this habit
CHORUS:
There's so many times
So many times
We done hooked up, so many times
Tell me your favorite and I'll tell you mine
I want it like I'm fresh out of jail
I want it like I'm fresh out of jail
There's so many times
Tell me your favorite and I'll tell you mine
Tank's "So Many Times" is a song that speaks about the memories and experiences of a relationship. The opening lines "Tell me your favorite and I'll tell you mine" sets the tone for a conversation between ex-lovers who have shared numerous intimate moments together. The song mentions specific experiences such as the time they had sex for the first time, their relationship issues, and the many places they have hooked up. These moments evoke different emotions in the singer, who is reminiscing about the good times they had.
The lyrics suggest that the relationship was purely physical, with both partners enjoying the sexual chemistry between them. The phrase "I want it like I'm fresh out of jail" implies that the singer craves and desires their partner with intensity. The chorus "There's so many times, we done hooked up so many times, tell me your favorite and I'll tell you mine" hints that the relationship was purely physical and lacked a deeper emotional connection. The song ends on an upbeat and celebratory note, with the singer expressing how much he enjoys being with his partner.
In terms of structure, the song is built on a repetitive beat, with Tank's voice providing a smooth and soulful accompaniment. The melody is simple yet catchy, with each verse building up to the chorus. The use of a hook - "I want it like I'm fresh out of jail" - adds a level of catchiness to the song and makes it memorable.
