WHATEVER HAPPENED TO MY BRAIN 20 years past midnight forever working over time I've gotta leave my troubles way behind I feel so awfully tired but it's impossible to sleep what the f**k is keeping me alive Whatever happened to my brain Burned out to the bone I'm shivering I'm cold I feel so tired I feel so overload what the f'**k is going on I cannot move my feet I feel so tired but cannot find no sleep Whatever happened to my brain You've got to get away I don't feel so good tonight

DON`T TALK TO ME I caught myself thinking about the past today because the past passed my way the other night the other minute the other day Cause there was this girl I knew back from school that kind of girl who treats you like a fool that kind of girl who makes you come uncool Oh no and I wonder oh no and I wonder why would it be as easy if I see you again? would you even look at me? would it be like then? You don't talk to me I know you can't miss what you never had I start to shiver I can't forget didn't you know that you were the one There was this one I knew back from school that kind of one that treats you like a fool that kind of one who made me come uncool Oh no and I wonder oh no and I wonder why would it be as easy if I see you again? would you even look at me? would it be like then? You don't talk to me no one likes to hear what i've to say no one likes to hear what he says you don't talk to me

KING KONG STOMP Deep in the African Jungle Behind a giant wall There lives a huge gorilla The most monstrus monster of all His name is commonly called King And you can tell why in a glance When everyone starts jumping He goes into his dance Well its the King Kong stomp (There's no escape) The King Kong Stomp (He just goes ape) And the jungle swings with a mighty sound When King Kong starts to monkey around All the natives, they worship him And prepare his favorite feast And he's always guest of honor When he has a jungle feast And the jungle drummers They play a beat that they really know he'll dig And the giant Kong puts on a show Thats really, really big! Well its the King Kong stomp (There's no escape) The King Kong Stomp (He just goes ape) And the jungle swings yeah with a mighty sound When King Kong starts to monkey around

about

At the end of 2007 DeeCRACKS were a mess and the serious possibility of breaking up seemed to loom large over the group. However, this record once again reinforced the band's intention to stay true to themselves and keep their music alive.
“We formed in 2003 as a 4-piece called the CRETINS and consequently made a name for ourselves in and around our home country Austria. 2007 started off well with a tour through France and the release of our self-titled full-length debut “The CRETINS”. During the summer of this year we also recorded the tracks present on this record. Unfortunately, things soon took a turbulent turn for the worse as we found ourselves confronted with a lawsuit over the copyright of the “CRETINS”-name which would limit our activities thereafter. On top of that, second guitar player Marc announced his departure from the band in autumn due to a job opportunity in Germany and in January 2008, just after having changed our name to DeeCracks, bass player Manu left to pursue his career goals.
With a new name and two original members gone, it seemed like the CRETINS were dead. Despite all these setbacks, Matt and I decided to look for a new bass player and to continue playing under the DeeCRACKS flag. In early 2008 Styrian young gun Apey joined us on bass and we worked our butts off to get ourselves back up from the bottom.
In May of 2009 we finally released the “TOTALLY CRACKED” EP including some of the songs recorded back in 2007. In June of the same year, right before we went on our first US-Tour, dutch record label MONSTER ZERO released the “BEACH 90” 7“ and from that moment on DeeCRACKS a.k.a. The CRETINS were busier than ever.
This re-release represents the missing link between the CRETINS- and the DeeCRACKS-eras and contains all the songs from that specific 2007 recording session. Not only do we want to pay tribute to Marc, Manu and everyone else involved with this record, but also to everyone helping, working, touring with us during our entire existence. Thank you all sincerely!” – Mike Dee Crackus
