1. The Breakfast Club was formed in New York in the late 1970s, and went through several line-ups including one in which Madonna was the drummer. By the early 1980s, the band included Madonna, Angie Smit on bass, and the Gilroy brothers, Dan and Ed, both on guitar (Dan sang lead vocals as well). Dan Gilroy was also briefly Madonna's boyfriend, and he eventually allowed her to sing some lead vocals. Madonna ultimately left to form a new band Emmy, but the remaining members soldiered on. By the mid 1980s, the band consisted of the Gilroys (with Dan now concentrating exclusively on vocals, while Ed provided all guitars), Gary Burke (bass), Paul Kauk (keyboards), and Stephen Bray (drums). Both Bray and Burke had previously been Madonna's bandmates in Emmy. Bray had also dated Madonna for a while, and reportedly, Madonna had initially suggested him as her replacement in Breakfast Club.[citation needed] They signed with Ze Records and released their eponymous album in 1987, which spawned the U.S. Top Ten hit "Right On Track". Later, Randy Jackson (bass) and E. Doctor Smith (The Drummstick, percussion) joined the band.
Dan Gilroy later went on to star in Mother Goose Rock 'n' Rhyme as Gordon Goose and in Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle as Pete the Postman.
2. Twan, Wouter and Jorik. 3 kids of 17 years old. Together known as The Breakfast Club! Since 2005 they've been making music together. It began with covers from bands such as Blink 182 and Sum 41 while they are now writing and playing own stuff. They make a party of every show they play. Crazy outifts, stupid nonsense jokes and awesome songs. Right know we're having a lot of fun doing this and who knows, maybe there's a bright future ahead.
The Breakfast Club was also a classic movie from the 1980's.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a secret, well I have to laugh
'Cause that is something I just can't keep
It's a secret
Oh I've tried it once or twice
But it didn't work too well
So you'd better think it over
La la la la la la oh oh
I'll kiss and tell
And everybody's' gonna know
La la la la la la oh oh
I'll kiss and tell
Gotta let my feelings show
'Cause they tell me it's gotta be a secret thing
It's no secret
Well, I've heard that before
And there is always someone waiting in the wings
It's no secret
So if there's somebody else on your mind
Then it's not gonna work too well
You would only be wasting your time
'Cause I'm gonna tell

In "Kiss and Tell", The Breakfast Club expresses their inability to keep secrets. They start by saying that they cannot laugh every time someone says that it's classified information, as they know they won't be able to restrain themselves from spreading the word. Even though they've tried it a few times, it's never worked out too well. They then proceed to tell us that they will kiss and tell; that they won't keep anything a secret. The singer says that they've heard the 'it's a secret' narrative too many times and that someone is still waiting in the wings. The person waiting in the wings could refer to the one who likes to spread rumors, which is why the singer is tired of keeping anything confidential.
The Breakfast Club advises their person of interest that if there is anyone else on their mind, they shouldn't bother as it won't work out well. They will wind up wasting their time if they try to be secretive because the singer will go ahead and tell anyone who will listen. They conclude by stating that they'll kiss and tell until their person of interest makes their mind up, repeatedly saying "mind up, call me up" as they wait for an answer.
