Zebrahead spent summer 2006 on the Warped Tour while their new album Broadcast to the World was released in Europe on July 3 through the German based record company SPV. The album which had come out in February of the same year in Japan, went gold in just over a month's time.
Due to Zebrahead's growing popularity in Japan, Matty Lewis and Zebrahead bandmate Ali Tabatabaee were asked by SEGA to record vocals for a new theme song, entitled "His World", which appears in the game Sonic The Hedgehog for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The entire band later recorded an alternate version of the song for the vocal soundtrack.
The rest of 2006 was spent touring Europe and the US as part of the Broadcast To The World Tour.
In March 2007, the band took two months off to begin writing new material for their, currently as of yet, untitled new studio album. The band later returned to Europe in May on a co-healine tour with MxPx and a headline UK tour. From June - July of the same year, Zebrahead toured America, supporting Unwritten Law with the band Bullets and Octane. On completion of the tour, Zebrahead spent more time writing material for their new album which had a planned release date of February, 2008.
Recently, after several of the active users at MFZB.com made it apparent they were in need of update from the band during this 'quiet' period, Zebrahead responded by posting a video update to YouTube which was promised as "the first of many". The video talks about the writing/recording process and has an update on Zebrahead's official fanclub.
October 2007 saw the return of Zebrahead to the UK as part of the annual Get Happy Tour where they shared the stage with Army of Freshmen, The Bloodhound Gang and Bowling For Soup. Zebrahead will be returning to Download 2008 (UK) after their first appearance in 2006. For the rest of 2007 the band continued to write songs for the new album. Demos were recorded and received input from Jason Freese of Green Day fame.
In March 2008 Zebrahead entered the studio and recorded 18 songs for their new album. The first two songs, including "Art Of Breaking Up" were recorded with Howard Benson, while the remaining 16 were recorded with Cameron Webb. Zebrahead released clips giving an insight into the making of the album the same month.
June saw Zebrahead return to the UK and Europe to headline a tour and play certain festival dates including Download, Leeds Slam Dunk Festival and Greenfield Festival. Several new songs from the upcoming album are likely to make their debut appearance in live form.
On May 17th 2008, it was revealed via the band's MySpace tagline that the upcoming album would be entitled "Phoenix". A day later, Zebrahead's fan blog, Postcards From Hell, revealed that the first single from the album would be entitled "Mental Health" and its music video was be directed by Elliot Dillman of Pandaworks.
In August 2010, Zebrahead has confirmed through video updates on their website that they have begun writing a new studio album. In the video, Ali Tabatabaee said that the band intends on entering the studio to record before the end of the year, and it has been mentioned through Twitter that the projected release date is early 2011.

Zebrahead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pop the seats, don't be hating me in the line
V.I.P 'cause you know I gotta shine
I'm Fergie Ferg
And me love you long time
All my girls get down on the floor
Back to back drop it down real low
I'm such a lady but I'm dancing like a hoe
How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like?
How come every time you come around, like
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like?
The drinks start pouring
And my start slurring
Everybody start looking real good
The Grey Goose got your girl feeling loose
Now I'm wishing that I didn't wear these shoes
It's like every time I get up on the dude
Paparazzi put my business in the news
And I'm like get up out my face
'Fore I turn around and spray your ass with mace
My lips make you wanna have a taste
You got that? I got the bass, bass
How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like?
How come every time you come around, like
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like?
(La, la-la-la-la, do-oo, do-oo)
Me like a bullet type, you know they comin' right
Fergie love em' long time
My girls support right?
(La, la-la-la-la, do-oo, do-oo)
Me like a bullet type, you know they comin' right
Fergie love em' long time
My girls support right?
When I come to the clubs, step aside
Pop the seats, don't be hating me in the line
V.I.P 'cause you know I gotta shine
I'm Fergie Ferg
And me love you long time
All my girls get down on the floor
Back to back drop it down real low
I'm such a lady but I'm dancing like a hoe
'Cause you know I don't give a fuck, so here we go
How come every time you come around
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like?
How come every time you come around, like
My London, London Bridge wanna go down, like?
The lyrics to Zebrahead's song "London Bridge" describe a night out at a club, where the singer, who refers to herself as Fergie Ferg, is a VIP and commands attention. She boasts about her confidence and ability to dance provocatively without caring what others may think. The chorus repeats the question "How come every time you come around, my London, London Bridge wanna go down?" which can be interpreted as a sexual innuendo or a metaphor for her losing control and letting loose in the club environment. The verses are also filled with references to alcohol, paparazzi, and the singer's desire to have fun and live in the moment.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of recklessness and liberation, as the singer indulges in the pleasures of the nightclub scene and refuses to conform to societal norms of what is deemed "appropriate" behavior. It is a song about embracing one's wild side and not being afraid to show it.
