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.

Besides that, he was also known through his songs, 三國戀 (Romance in the 3 Kingdom) and 給我你的愛 (Give Me Your Love) which both are the ending themes for two famous Taiwan drama series. 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 ↴
You tell me I'm living a lie
No wonder you world is so upside down
You can't get your feet off the ground.
And I know what you thinking
But it don't mean that much to me
Yes I know where you're coming from
Live it love it! We live for Rock 'n' Roll
Live it love it! Don't believe a word
Live it love it! We live for Rock' n' Roll
Live it love it.
You say that you won't then you say that you will
And now you're so lost in your past
There is no one to tell you what you need to hear
Believe me I'll have the last laugh.
I don't care what you think of me you're nothing at all
If you want to play games with me
Just hold on I'm coming round.
Live it love it! We live for Rock 'n' Roll
Live it love it! Don't believe a word
Live it love it! We live for Rock' n' Roll
Live it love it.
Now that you battle is over and lost
Your tears fall across your dry eyes
The hour glass is smashed and time standing still
Still you are caught in the past.
I don't care what you think of me your nothing at all
If you want to play games with me
Just hold on I'm coming round.
Live it love it! We live for Rock 'n' Roll
Live it love it! Don't believe a word
Live it love it! We live for Rock' n' Roll
Live it love it.
In Tank's song The Last Laugh, the lyrics seem to be directed towards a person who is critical of the singer's lifestyle and career choice. The first lines of the song, "You say I bring darkness I know I bring light, You tell me I'm living a lie," suggest that the person is pessimistic and cannot see the positive aspects of the singer's life. The line "No wonder your world is so upside down, You can't get your feet off the ground," highlights the negative impact of this person's viewpoint on their own life.
The chorus of the song, "Live it love it! We live for Rock 'n' Roll, Don't believe a word," encourages the listener to embrace the Rock 'n' Roll lifestyle and disregard the criticisms of others. The lyrics "You say that you won't then you say that you will, And now you're so lost in your past, There is no one to tell you what you need to hear, Believe me, I'll have the last laugh" seem to suggest that the person being addressed is indecisive and hung up on their past, and the singer believes that in the end he will be the one with the last laugh.
Overall, the lyrics of The Last Laugh convey a sense of defiance and a celebration of the Rock 'n' Roll lifestyle, despite the criticisms of others.
