Forging this sound in 2001, Tub Ring has been a force of nature in the left-of-center world of music, building momentum and inertia with every day that passes. The band's first album of avant-garde pop, Drake Equation, was produced by Mr. Bungle's Trey Spruance. Since, Tub Ring has released a total of 4 albums and a DVD/B-Side double pack.
With each album charting into double digits on the CMJ Top 200, Tub Ring's music has also been featured on Fox Sports, Xbox 360's "Amp Snow Boarder 3", various MTV/MTV2 programs, Spike and Mike's Twisted Animation films, and several Mt. Dew commercials. Most recently, Tub Ring played live in the TRL room on MTV2, and was featured in the MTV reality based contest show "Dew Circuit Breakout".
Tub Ring has created an enormous underground market with their bizarre genre of spazzed pop rock, with no financial help, no manager, NOTHING... except hard work, non-stop touring, and inventive song writing with intelligent lyrics. Clocking in at over 150 shows per year from 2001 to 2009 throughout North America, Europe and Japan, there are few bands that can match Tub Ring's determination and commitment to music. Touring partners include Mindless Self Indulgence, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Kill Hannah, Dog Fashion Disco, Clutch, Karate High School, Black Light Burns, Foxy Shazam!, and more!

Break Dancing My Way Back Into Your Heart
Tub Ring Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We had it special, once
'Til you left me
For another man
But since that day
I've been plotting
To get you back
Get you back
Anyway I can
Tried phoning
You didn't answer
I started rumors
Your man was gay
(?) trying
These things didn't work
Now I got the perfect way
Now I've got the perfect way
Now I'm hip hoppin', no stoppin'
Rockin' out to a different groove
Back spinnin', show winnin'
The funky ways that I can move
Damn, I'm gonna show you my plan
'Cause when I get down
And with my arms around
Damn, I'm the principle man
And if I know you don't know
I'll put on my show
Just for you
I'll show you what I can do
I can spin on my head
Or my back instead
On my back instead
I've been practicing my caterpillar
With the best of them
Worked hard, but it was worth it
The time is now, I know I can
Time is now, I know I can
Breakdancing my way
Back into your heart
I don't have much to say
But I know it's a start
I'm breakdancing my way
Back into your heart
And you'll come back to say
We'll never be apart
You house is close
I can moonwalk the distance
'Cause I now I got
The magic feets
Don't need much room
Just clear a little space
So I can lie down
My cardboard sheets
I lay down my cardboard sheets
Now I show class, my ass
No need to prove that I can dance
I got style and I'm wild
I've also got the parachute pants
Damn, I'm gonna show you my plan
'Cause when I get down
And with my arms around
Damn, I'm the principle man
And if I know you don't know
I'll put on my show
Just for you
I'll show you what I can do
I can spin on my head
Or my back instead
On my back instead
Seen all the funky movies
Beat Street and Breakin' Two
Not enough to see the sequels
I just watch Electric Boogaloo
I just watch Electric Boogaloo
Breakdancing my way
Back into your heart
I don't have much to say
But I know it's a start
I'm breakdancing my way
Back into your heart
And you'll come back to say
We'll never be apart
The lyrics to Tub Ring's song Break Dancing My Way Back Into Your Heart tell the story of a man who is determined to win back the love of his life. He reminisces about the special connection the two of them once shared, but acknowledges that he lost her to another man. Despite this, he is unrelenting in his pursuit to win her back, trying various tactics such as calling her and starting rumors about her current partner. Eventually, he finds his calling in breakdancing, which he believes is his ticket to her heart.
The song's lyrics are characterized by their playful and humorous tone, using hyperbolic language and exaggerated descriptions of the singer's breakdancing skills. The lyrics also reflect a nostalgic reverence for the breakdancing culture of the 80s, referencing iconic films such as Beat Street and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as a playful and humorous approach to the universal theme of heartbreak and the lengths people will go to win back the ones they love.
Line by Line Meaning
You and me
The two of us
We had it special, once
We had a unique relationship in the past
'Til you left me
Until you departed
For another man
For someone else
But since that day
From that moment onward
I've been plotting
I've been scheming
To get you back
To regain your affection
Anyway I can
By any means possible
Get you back
Win you over again
Anyway I can
No matter what it takes
Tried phoning
Attempted to call
You didn't answer
You didn't pick up
I started rumors
I spread gossip
Your man was gay
That your partner was homosexual
(?) trying
None of these methods worked
These things didn't work
These strategies were not effective
Now I got the perfect way
I have found the ideal solution
Now I've got the perfect way
I have discovered the perfect answer
Now I'm hip hoppin', no stoppin'
I am breakdancing without restraint
Rockin' out to a different groove
Dancing to a new beat
Back spinnin', show winnin'
Performing spinning moves, winning the crowd's admiration
The funky ways that I can move
My creative dance styles
Damn, I'm gonna show you my plan
I am confident in my strategy
'Cause when I get down
When I start dancing
And with my arms around
Embracing you
Damn, I'm the principle man
I am the man in charge
And if I know you don't know
If you are unaware
I'll put on my show
I'll put on a performance
Just for you
Only for you
I'll show you what I can do
I'll demonstrate my dancing skills
I can spin on my head
I can do a spinning move on my head
Or my back instead
Or on my back instead
On my back instead
Performing a move on my back
I've been practicing my caterpillar
I have been practicing a dance move known as the caterpillar
With the best of them
I have been practicing with the best dancers
Worked hard, but it was worth it
I have put in a lot of effort, but it has paid off
The time is now, I know I can
This is the right moment, I am confident that I can succeed
Breakdancing my way
Dancing my way
Back into your heart
Regaining your affection
I don't have much to say
I don't have many words
But I know it's a start
But I am taking the first step
And you'll come back to say
And you will return to me and say
We'll never be apart
That we will never be separated
You house is close
Your house is nearby
I can moonwalk the distance
I can dance the distance like a moonwalk
'Cause I now I got
Because I have
The magic feets
The footwork magic
Don't need much room
I don't need a lot of space
Just clear a little space
Just make a small area available
So I can lie down
So I can lay down my cardboard sheets
My cardboard sheets
My makeshift dance floor
Now I show class, my ass
Now I exhibit elegance, even cheek
No need to prove that I can dance
I don't need to show that I can dance
I got style and I'm wild
I have a unique style, and I'm a bit crazy
I've also got the parachute pants
I am wearing loose-fitting pants with wide legs
Seen all the funky movies
I've watched all the cool dance movies
Beat Street and Breakin' Two
Such as 'Beat Street' and 'Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo'
Not enough to see the sequels
But I didn't need to watch their sequels
I just watch Electric Boogaloo
I just saw 'Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo'
Breakdancing my way
Dancing my way
Back into your heart
Regaining your affection
I don't have much to say
I don't have many words
But I know it's a start
But I am taking the first step
And you'll come back to say
And you will return to me and say
We'll never be apart
That we will never be separated
