1) Zebra is a hard rock band founded in 1975 in New Orleans, Louisiana. It features Randy Jackson (guitar and vocals), Felix Hanemann (bass, keyboards and vocals) and Guy Gelso (drums and vocals). In the early 1970s, Jackson and Hanemann played together in a group called Shepherd's Bush, but in 1974 they left Shepherd's Bush and founded a new band with Gelso on drums. The group initially was a cover band, playing Led Zeppelin and other technically proficient rock groups such as Yes, Jethro Tull, and Pink Floyd. In 1975, the group adopted the name Zebra after seeing a cover of the magazine Vogue featuring a woman riding a zebra. Initially based in New Orleans, they increasingly played more often on Long Island, and eventually all three members moved there to pursue success. They had introduced their original material into their cover sets years before they were signed to Atlantic Records, including "The La La Song", "Free" and "Bears" (originally entitled "The Bears are Hibernating").
Zebra had been noticed by local colleges and even had some of their early original performances recorded by Long Island FM radio station WBAB, culminating in the inclusion of one of their songs on a release of "WBAB Homegrown Album", which commemorated local acts and performances culled from the station's on-air "Homegrown Hour" program.
Zebra's mainstream debut on Atlantic Records was in 1983 with their eponymous album, produced by Jack Douglas and featuring the singles "Tell Me What You Want" and "Who's Behind The Door?" The band continued to tour throughout the 1980s, but took a temporary break in the early 1990s after being dropped by Atlantic Records. Randy Jackson formed his solo band Randy Jackson's China Rain, and released its only album in the year 1991. Zebra finally reunited in 1994 and released Zebra IV in 2003, their first album of all-new material since 1986. A DVD of live performances, mostly from a show at the House of Blues in New Orleans, was released in the summer of 2007.
On July 10, 2010, during their 35th-anniversary performance at New Orleans' Mahalia Jackson Theater, Zebra was inducted into The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame. On October 8, 2012, Zebra was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. In March 2013, Zebra performed on Cruise to the Edge, a concert cruise featuring notable progressive rock bands including Yes, Steve Hackett, U.K., Carl Palmer Band, Ambrosia, Saga, Nektar, Glass Hammer, and IOEarth.
Although Zebra has not released any studio material since 2003's Zebra IV, the band continues to perform live, mostly in the Gulf Coast and East Coast of the United States, including New Orleans and New York City. In February 2017, Jackson reported to Shreveport Times that the band was working on a new album: "I have new material and hopefully we’ll get to work on a new record in the next couple of months. As of March 2022, there has been no news of the project.

Tell Me What You Want
Zebra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am losing my mind
My head's on the floor
For evermore
I have given you all
All that I had
But with a slam of the door
You've driven me mad
Tell me what you want
You have taken it all
All of my love
Unrelenting you told
You told me a lie
So I can cry
There aren't words for it all
All that I feel
With the palm of your hand
You crushed me for real
Now what's the deal
Tell me what you want
I'm wishing to God you're gonna say you miss me
I'm crossing my fingers that you say you're gonna kiss me
I'm wishing to God you're gonna say you miss me
I've got my fingers crossed you'll kiss me one more time
So I can say I ain't been wasting my time
I am losing my mind
My head's on the floor
For evermore
I have given you all
All that I had
But with the slam of the door
You've driven me mad
Now I'm sad
Tell me what you want
I need you so bad
You got to tell me, tell me what you want..
The song 'Tell Me What You Want' by Zebra is a heart-wrenching plea of a lover who has been hurt and abandoned by their partner. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has given everything to their loved one and has been left with nothing but a broken heart. The opening lines, "I've been wasting my time, I am losing my mind," sets the tone for the rest of the song that is filled with agony and despair. The singer of the song is left on their knees, begging their partner to come back and make things right. They are longing for closure but are unable to move on until they know what their partner wants from them.
The chorus of the song, "Tell me what you want," is repeated several times, emphasizing the desperation of the lover. They are willing to do anything to make their partner happy, to make things work between them again. The verse that goes, "I'm wishing to God you're gonna say you miss me, I'm crossing my fingers that you say you're gonna kiss me," shows how much the singer still loves their partner and how badly they want them back in their life.
Overall, the song's lyrics are intense and emotionally charged, with an underlying tone of hope that things will work out in the end. The singer's raw and passionate vocals add to the song's powerful impact.

I've been wasting my time
I have wasted my time with you
I am losing my mind
You have caused me to lose my sanity
My head's on the floor
I am emotionally broken and defeated
For evermore
This pain feels like it will last forever
I have given you all
I have given you everything I have
All that I had
All of my love and affection
But with a slam of the door
You abruptly left me
You've driven me mad
Your actions have made me crazy
Now I'm sad
I am deeply upset and depressed
Tell me what you want
Please communicate with me and tell me what you want
You have taken it all
You have taken all of my love and affection
Unrelenting you told
You continuously lied to me
You told me a lie
You were not honest with me
So I can cry
You made me cry
There aren't words for it all
I cannot express in words the pain you have caused me
All that I feel
I feel extremely hurt and betrayed
With the palm of your hand
You crushed my spirit and left me feeling powerless
You crushed me for real
Your actions had a real and lasting impact on me
Now what's the deal
Can you explain yourself and your behavior?
I'm wishing to God you're gonna say you miss me
I hope you feel remorse for what you have done and miss me
I'm crossing my fingers that you say you're gonna kiss me
I am hoping for physical affection and closeness from you
I've got my fingers crossed you'll kiss me one more time
I am hoping for one more moment of intimacy with you
I need you so bad
I still have feelings for you and want you back
You got to tell me, tell me what you want
Please be honest and upfront with me about what you want in our relationship

It was 1984. I'd slip this cassette into my brand new 200 watt car stereo system. I would drive as fast as I could in that T/A and transform myself into a true Rock Star.
