A new name and the second album
A night club in Gothenburg had the registered name "Yaki-Da", at first the owners had nothing against Linda and Marie taking the name, but later they changed their minds. Linda and Marie couldn't used the name Yaki-Da in Sweden. Jonas Berggren became very successful with Ace of Base and didn't have the time to write or produce the second album for Yaki-Da. Under the new name Y-D (pronounced why - dee) Linda and Marie recorded the second album. With the help of some Scandinavian's best producers like Douglas Carr, Ole Evenrude, Jonas von der Burg, Candy Hill and Remee they released the album "A small step for love". The album sold very well in South Korea, but wasn't released on mainland Europe.
Deep in The Jungle
Yaki-Da Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They're sending a message few would understand;
But I do,
'Cause like in the jungle of emotions,
People are getting lost;
What is right over time?
What should you tell me?
Deep in the jungle of emotions,
Hide your past and I stay.
I want to be your number one-
Not one in a stupid line;
You want to tell me who you are,
But, baby, don't push it too far;
I wanna be your number one.
I do.
Once in my lifetime,
I'll be standing bride;
Once in my lifetime,
I will say 'I do' to a priest;
I wanna wrap my arms around you,
But all the things you've said,
Bring me down even though I'm glad you told me
Something about your past and future;
But enough is enough;
Now I know what to say.
Don't you think we have to work this out?
Do you have to make me scream and shout?
I want to be your number one-
Not one in a stupid line;
You want to tell me who you are,
But, baby, don't push it too far;
I wanna be your number one.
Feeling like a stranger-
Want you near;
Can we make some change here,
No more fear?
I'm feeling like a stranger;
Hah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I want to be your number one-
Not one in a stupid line;
You want to tell me who you are,
But, baby, don't push it too far;
The song "Deep in The Jungle" by Yaki-Da is a ballad about the complexities of relationships and the emotions that come with them. The metaphor of the jungle is used to describe the confusion and unpredictability of human feelings. The drums that are played in the jungle symbolize the beat of the heart, which can often be difficult to understand or decode. The singer of the song understands the message being sent through the drums because she recognizes the similar pattern in the complicated emotions of people.
The lyrics speak of the desire to be someone's "number one" rather than simply a member of "a stupid line." This speaks to the fear of being just another person in the dating game or feeling like someone isn't fully committed. However, the singer recognizes that in order for her to be someone's priority, there needs to be honesty and communication. She acknowledges that some things may be best left unsaid, but also recognizes that there needs to be a balance between hiding the past and being forthcoming.
The chorus repeats the desire to be someone's number one and urges the other person to not push too hard. The song ends with a plea for change and a recognition of feeling like a stranger in the relationship. Overall, the lyrics of "Deep in The Jungle" are heartfelt and relatable, as they speak to the ups and downs of love and relationships.

5+++ Какой классный дуэт! Очень жаль, что они так мало спели... Красивая музыка, красивые девушки! Эх, где мои 17 лет...)))
Костя Попов
Классная песенка , не понимаю только почему ремикс популярнее оригинала. Оригинал по-моему одна из лучших песен 90-х.
