Artiestinformatie

Land   Verenigd Koninkrijk

Eind jaren 80 werd deze groep opgericht door Amanda Glanfield, Paul Carter en Richard Walmsley. Zij zijn gezamelijk een van de grondleggers van de Hiphouse muziek.



Ze namen de single Rok Da House op met de intentie om hun eigen melodieën te horen in een nachtclub. Een opkomende platenlabel Rhythm Kings had belangstelling. En het nummer werd een hit. Artiesten als Bomb The Bass en S’ Express voegden zich bij hetzelfde label en samen domineerden zij de Britse charts in 1988 en 1989.



De groep bracht twee albums en diverse succesvolle singles uit. Begin jaren 90 verliet Richard Walmsley de groep.



Carter en Glanfield zijn tot vandaag de dag succesvolle remixers en producers. Zo hebben zij samengewerkt met artiesten als The Pet Shop Boys, Blur, Moby, Eternal, Girls Aloud, Tina Turner en David Bowie.

Songtekst

Yeah, you know house!

Yeah, you know house!
House music

Yeah, you know house!
House music

Telephone girls (Say what?)
Telephone girls (Say what?)
Telephone girls (Say what?)
Comin' home girls (Just rock)

We're groovin' in the house but we're like controllers
It's like that and nobody told us
We're DNQ, 'cause we rock the place
Need a microphone with a drum and a bass

Like the sound of the music, it isn't a rhyme
Together we rock 'till the end of time
So other MC's ain't-a think on that
We're just the girls on the mic and we're back to rap

Like H-O-U-S-E spells house
I will rather be no rockin' with a mouse
Like H-O-U-S-E spells house
I will rather be no rockin' with a mouse

Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock (Rock the house)
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock (Rock the house)

MC T's gonna rock the house
'Cause truly there's a dancefloor and I check it out
The only beatboy chillin' on the floor
See fake fly-girls and they're lookin' for war

When they see me in the place they gotta stand back
They think that it's a livin' and they try to rap
But they can't take my name 'cause I'm full of hip-hop
MC T's in the place just here to rock

So rock!
(Rock the house)
Rock!
(Rock the house)

(Rock the house)

If you're ready to rock put your hands in the air
I wanna live true way like they just don't care
I see you just don't care 'bout the way I feel

Now hard to rock, just bug and chill

Just play to catch, we're gonna watch you fly
And when you fail to jam I tell you why
You wanna keep on rockin' and that's no lie
You're gonna rock with the girls 'till the mornin' light

So rock, ro-ro-ro-ro-ro-ro (Rock the house)
Rock, ro-ro-ro-ro-ro-ro (Rock the house)

(Rock the house)
(Ro-rock the house)
(Rock the house)

(Rock the house)
(Ro-rock the house)
(Rock the house)

The M and the C's start a mic controller
Girls in the house and we are buller
You don't wanna rock but it's up our hat
Rhyme down, pick your mother and tickle our head

So rock
Rock, rock, rock, rock my house

H-O-U-S-E spells house (Rock the house)
H-O-U-S-E spells house (Rock the house)

We're gonna rock!
(Rock the house)
Rock!
(Rock the house)

Rock!
(Rock the house)
Rock!
(Rock the house)

(Rock the house)
