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.

Goodnight Now
Ugly Duckling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sh...
Relax
[ VERSE 1: Andy see ]
I'm headin home for some well-earned rest
I watch the moon rise in the sun-lit west
I've had a very long afternoon
Electric blankets help me hide
From the cold wind and the rain outside
A grandfather clock sounds off its chimes
I reach to the window and shut the blinds
The room darkens to a shade of gray
And I feel my brainwaves fade away
So quiet please, don't talk
I'm about to doze off
Bed so soft I didn't even take my clothes off
Remember all those lovely little lullabys
That your mother used to sing to you, so you close your eyes?
Well, I hope this helps you fall asleep right now
Turn the light down, then relax, goodnight now
Goodnight now
[ CHORUS ]
Much to do, a lot to say
It seems that you've had quite a day
But now it's late, time for bed
Settle down and rest your head
[ VERSE 2: Dizzy Dustin ]
I drink a little milk from a nice warm glass
Put on my PJ's, ready to crash
Took a shower so I'm nice and clean
Mr. Sandman, please bring me a dream
The evening's come, the work is done
My eyes get heavy, my legs are numb
Layin in the sheets feeling lighter than air
So long to go but I'm already there
I'm dog-tired but I'll sleep until I'm restless
And when I'm awake I can make a late breakfast
I see you in the morning, my friend
And until then
Goodnight now
Goodnight now
[ CHORUS ]
Goodnight sweetie
Mommy loves you
The song "Goodnight Now" by Ugly Duckling is a relaxing, mellow track that emphasizes the importance of getting some rest after a hard day. The song starts with a peaceful request to be quiet and sets the mood for the whole track. Andy See comes in first, describing how he is looking forward to heading home after a long day and escaping into his room, where he can hide from the cold outside. The calming sound of a grandfather clock rings off in the background as he shuts the blinds and settles into his bed. He reminisces about the lullabies his mother once sang to him and hopes that this song will help others fall asleep. The chorus repeats that it's time to go to bed and settle down, setting the tone for the rest of the song.
Dizzy Dustin's verse continues with the imagery of the evening and going to bed. He describes his bedtime routine, from drinking milk to putting on pajamas, and asks Mr. Sandman to bring him a dream. He reflects on how he's already feeling lighter than air and will sleep until he's restless, setting the expectation that he will have a good night's sleep. The song ends with a tender and heartwarming moment where the lyrics note "Goodnight sweetie, mommy loves you", making it clear that the song is intended for everyone, including children, to fall asleep to.

I'm headin home for some well-earned rest
I'm tired and I'm going to bed
I watch the moon rise in the sun-lit west
I see the moon even though the sun is still up
I've had a very long afternoon
I had a busy day
But soon I'll escape inside my room
But I'm looking forward to some alone time
Electric blankets help me hide
I use electric blankets to stay warm
From the cold wind and the rain outside
Because it's cold and rainy outside
I reach to the window and shut the blinds
I close the blinds to make the room darker
The room darkens to a shade of gray
The room becomes darker when I turn down the light
And I feel my brainwaves fade away
I start to feel relaxed and sleepy
So quiet please, don't talk
Please be quiet and don't disturb me
I'm about to doze off
I'm about to fall asleep
Bed so soft I didn't even take my clothes off
My bed is so comfortable that I don't even need to change my clothes
Remember all those lovely little lullabys
Remember those soothing songs that put you to sleep?
That your mother used to sing to you, so you close your eyes?
That your mother would sing to you so you would fall asleep?
Well, I hope this helps you fall asleep right now
I hope this song will help you fall asleep quickly
Turn the light down, then relax, goodnight now
Dim the lights, relax, and have a good night
Much to do, a lot to say
You had a busy day with lots of things to do and say
But now it's late, time for bed
But it is late now, and it is time to sleep
Settle down and rest your head
Calm down and get ready to sleep
I drink a little milk from a nice warm glass
I drink some milk from a warm glass
Put on my PJ's, ready to crash
I change into my pajamas and get ready to sleep
Took a shower so I'm nice and clean
I took a shower and now I am clean
Mr. Sandman, please bring me a dream
Mr. Sandman, please help me have a good dream
The evening's come, the work is done
The evening has come and the work is finished
My eyes get heavy, my legs are numb
I start to feel sleepy and my legs feel heavy
Layin in the sheets feeling lighter than air
Lying in bed and feeling very comfortable
So long to go but I'm already there
I still have a lot of sleep ahead, but I already feel relaxed
I'm dog-tired but I'll sleep until I'm restless
I'm extremely tired, but I'll sleep until my body needs rest
And when I'm awake I can make a late breakfast
When I wake up, I can have breakfast later in the morning
I see you in the morning, my friend
I will talk to you in the morning when I wake up
And until then
Until then, I'm going to sleep
Goodnight sweetie
Goodnight my dear child
Mommy loves you
Your mother loves you and wishes you a good night's sleep
