Being heavily influenced by old school hip hop, they conform to the original basics of rap music; turntablism and MCing. Their DJ, Young Einstein, forms the backbone of the group; he is renowned for performing very complex scratches both on the record and live, unlike in most modern rap where the DJ has been pushed to the back in order to emphasize the MC. He is also the owner of a famous 'Dookie Gold Chain' which is the subject of the groups song 'Eye On The Gold Chain' and is donned by Einstein during most live performances of the track. They are renowned for their live shows in which they perform various antics on stage and interact with the crowd getting them very hyped and affording them the reputation as brilliant live performers.
Their song Smack was featured on Tony Hawk's Project 8, In game and also as skater Paul Rodriguez Jr.'s Footage Soundtrack.
In 2012 group member Dizzy Dustin appeared on UK Hip Hop artist Ricta's debut album Snacks & Deception.

Everybody C'mon
Ugly Duckling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Scratch: 1,2,3,4
[Verse one begin Andycat]
Years ago we took freestyle raps
Got two turn table and we started from scratch
Now everytime that we go do a spot, they
say,"Yo, Ugly Duckling you [Scratch: Sound effect]
So weather you're in short ot a tux with a cumerbun
movin' like soul brother number one
Young Einstein breaks the sticks[Scratch: You got it]
And I could start with an EQ and good mic mix
'Cause it's the microphone I love, I hold her
close with a tug
And give her a snug hug before I plug in the plug
Unrap her before I tap her to get her some feedback
And it's on so we rap, c'mon
[Singing: Na Na Na Na Na]
All the ladies in the place
[Singing]
And everybody c'mon
[Singing]
And all the fellas in th place
[Singing]
And everybody c'mon
[Singing]
And all the ladies in the place
[Singing]
And everybody c'mon
[Singing]
And all the fellas in the place
[Singing]
[Scratch:A,be ,see,D]
[Verse two: Dizzy Dustin]
"i" double "z" "why" I could begin
When they get the levels set to let my DJ spin
I release what's within feel free to join in
Dizzy is my name but I'mma me spell it again
D-devistate, I-impress, Z-zeftfully clean and fresh,
another Z for the zip code that I got on the north
side of town, and why? Why not?
I got the flux capacitator for my Model T Ford
With lots of Giga watts to go back to before
The items on the floor at your novelty store,
need I say more?
[Repeat Chorus from last verse]
Einstein, break it down like this
[Scratch: Sound effect]
Einstein, dooin' his do
[Scratch: Young ladies from near or far, weather
you're high class or rather bourgoise]
[Verse three: Andy C]
Get down, as ugly duckling unlocks the box like
pandora
If you're comin' to the jam ignore the group on stage
yellin' louder than banshees
Actin' ready for war like some Comanches
And they call themselves hip-hop men
Where have you been?
You're messin' up now 'cause you didn't know it then
And what do we call a crew that can rap like that...
Wack!
They got a wacky wack style and a wacky wack track
there would be more room if those cats played the back
[Dizzy D]Starting from when the line is long
[Andy C]until the line is gone, [Both]everybody c'mon
[Singing: Na Na Na Na Na]
All the ladies in the place
[Singing]
And everybody c'mon
[Singing]
And all the fellas in th place
[Singing]
And everybody c'mon
[Singing]
And all the ladies in the place
[Singing]
And everybody c'mon
[Singing]
And everybody c'mon
[Singing]
[Scratch: Young lady
Bang!
The song "Everybody C'mon" by Ugly Duckling is a fun, upbeat track that demonstrates the group's love and passion for creating music. The lyrics talk about their journey from freestyle raps to becoming a well-known music group. The chorus encourages everyone, regardless of gender or dress code, to come and enjoy the party. The group's DJ Young Einstein gets a shoutout in the first verse for breaking the sticks, while Andy Cat talks about his love for the microphone before he plugs it in, giving it a snug hug. Dizzy Dustin's verse talks about his name and the inspiration behind it, making a reference to the movie "Back to the Future" with the flux capacitor in his Model T Ford. Finally, the last verse takes a jab at other hip-hop groups who have a "wacky wack style" and encourages everyone to come together for the music.
Line by Line Meaning
Years ago we took freestyle raps
Back in the day, we started our rap journey with freestyle rap battles
Got two turn table and we started from scratch
We began our career by purchasing two turntables and starting from the very beginning
Now everytime that we go do a spot, they
say,"Yo, Ugly Duckling you [Scratch: Sound effect] rock"
Now every time we perform, people love us and cheer us on
So weather you're in short ot a tux with a cumerbun
movin' like soul brother number one
Whether you're dressed casually or formally, you can still groove like a pro
Young Einstein breaks the sticks[Scratch: You got it]
And I could start with an EQ and good mic mix
'Cause it's the microphone I love, I hold her
close with a tug
I, Young Einstein, start the beat with the drumsticks while Andy works on the perfect mix for our performance. We love our microphones and treat them with care
And give her a snug hug before I plug in the plug
Unrap her before I tap her to get her some feedback
And it's on so we rap, c'mon
Before we start performing, we ensure our microphones are working well and then it's time to start rapping and entertaining the crowd
All the ladies in the place
Ladies, get ready to have some fun
And everybody c'mon
Everyone join in on the fun
And all the fellas in the place
Gentlemen, it's your time to shine
A,be, see, D
Let's start with the basics - the alphabet
"i" double "z" "why" I could begin
When they get the levels set to let my DJ spin
I release what's within feel free to join in
As the beat sets in, I, Dizzy Dustin, release my skills and welcome others to join in the fun
Dizzy is my name but I'mma me spell it again
D-devistate, I-impress, Z-zeftfully clean and fresh,
another Z for the zip code that I got on the north
side of town, and why? Why not?
Let me spell out my name - Dizzy - and the significance behind each letter, including the zip code in the North side of town where I grew up
I got the flux capacitator for my Model T Ford
With lots of Giga watts to go back to before
The items on the floor at your novelty store,
need I say more?
I have a flux capacitor for my old car with enough power to go back in time, and there are many interesting items in stores that you should explore
Get down, as ugly duckling unlocks the box like
pandora
If you're comin' to the jam ignore the group on stage
yellin' louder than banshees
Ugly Duckling is about to unleash the magic, so get ready. Don't listen to groups on stage yelling louder than banshees, focus on our performance
Actin' ready for war like some Comanches
And they call themselves hip-hop men
Where have you been?
You're messin' up now 'cause you didn't know it then
And what do we call a crew that can rap like that...
Wack!
Some groups act like they are preparing for a war, but they can't even rap well. We call such groups wack
They got a wacky wack style and a wacky wack track
there would be more room if those cats played the back
[Dizzy D]Starting from when the line is long
[Andy C]until the line is gone, [Both]everybody c'mon
Their style and track are unimpressive, and they should just stand in the back. We, on the other hand, will entertain the crowd as long as people are lined up waiting for us to perform. Come join the fun!
Young ladies from near or far, weather
you're high class or rather bourgoise
Calling out to all the ladies, regardless of their background or status
And everybody c'mon
[Scratch: Young lady
Bang!
Everyone, including the ladies, join in on the fun! (sound effect: Bang!)

This track is absolutely timeless! It takes me right back to 1999, bboying, and our awesome nightclub timepiece in Exeter ❤️❤️

No matter what situation I find myself in, in this roller coaster called life. UD has always been successful in lifting my mood.

UD! First became aware of you as a huge fan of the UK TV series Ideal. That show really touched me and will always be a favourite of mine. Never thought I would be able to see you perform live, especially not this track.... and then! Nottingham UK, Rock City 2014. I had just moved to Nottingham for work from a small nowhere town called Grimsby and I heard that Jurassic 5 were playing at Rock City on a work night. I didn't know anybody in Nottingham, didn't know the place very well, and decided to go because I love J5 (didn't know you were performing as it wasn't on my ticket), but I said I wouldn't drink as I had work the next day. So I jump on my push bike, bike up the hill next to the castle and lock it up there and head to Rock City. Once I got there I saw some signs that said you were playing... I didn't believe it at first. Then you guys came out to a half filled room, and I went berserk. Downed 6 2-pint cups of beer before J5 came on, smashed some poor lads glasses off his face by accident jumping around to Eye on the Gold Chain, and then you played this! I nearly cried with happiness it was the best gig of my life, a great surprise and I'll always cherish the photo I got with you guys afterwards at the front door. I left 2 or 3 tunes in to J5, didn't bother with the rest, I was completely satisfied. OHhhhhhhhhh Yeahhhhhhhhh! Thanks guys
Ugly Duckling
Appreciate you Dan, glad you had a good time. We just hope you settled up with the poor lad after it was over, glasses aren't cheap!
