HADOUKEN!

HADOUKEN! est un groupe de rock indépendant qui se rattache à la vague Grime/Nu-rave popularisée par des groupes tels que Klaxons ou CSS . Formé en 2006, il fait partie des groupes qui doivent une très grande partie de leur popularité à MySpace et YouTube. En effet, le premier morceau du groupe, "That Boy That Girl", a été ainsi largement diffusé, aux US principalement et a commence a se faire connaître en France. Hadouken! a été signé par le label Atlantic Records. Le groupe se présente sous une la forme traditionelle d'un groupe de rock, avec une batterie, une guitare une basse. Mais il se différencie par le fait que le chanteur, rappe plus qu'il ne chante, et par l'utilisation omniprésente d'un synthétiseur et de sons divers. Par exemple, le tube "That Boy That Girl utilise des sons issus de la Nintendo Game Boy (à ce propos, il faut savoir que le nom Hadouken! est tiré d'un combo du jeu vidéo Street Fighter).

Letra:

That boys a Hoxton Hero,
skinny fit jeans and dressed in pink,
how he dresses I care zero,
as long as he don't steal my drink.

That girls an Indie Cindy,
Lego haircut and polka-dot dress,
I don't care if she thinks she's indie,
how she's different is anyones guess.

You've got you skin tights, colours on the floor,
with all your white lines, every slut and whore,
all the band boys in your specs and sneakers,
we got your back, now its time to blow the speaker,

I went to a rave and it got real moody,
how can a screwface have a good time?
Was he deprived of his mothers boobie?
I doubt he's lived a life of grime,
I went to a gig but nobody danced,
Everybody was far too cool,
all the kiddies they just stood there,
Is it the same at their public school?

I stay hard like metal,
you could never merk me,
dirty like skettle,
I kill germs like dettol,
get mucky,
but I will never settle.

I'm an indie limey,
yeah but i like it grimey,
and i rave with a grin,
I'm not too cool for the next big thing,
I dont wanna f**k about,
I wanna good time and thats why I'm out,
and you look silly,
When you put on your best myspace pout

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Okay okay uh huh huh huh...

so Im seen in some trendy bar with a girl through my mate char-lotte.
she's a bit of a sort
everything was cool until we talked
now, she didn't offend me
but her chat is proper empty
i realised the girl im scoring is
fit but fucking boring!
and im nearly snoring cause she goes on and on
about her awesome family and the village she is from
and she's studying maths
her favourite colour is black
and she's a terrible cook
and I cant help staring at her rack!

cause im listenin'
yeah im tuning in
cause what you say is really interesting
(yeah)
cause im tuning in
yeah im zooming in
cause when you talk i really do listen (...)

Letra:

You Don't Like This Scene,
You Don't Like My Song,
Well If You Do,
Somewhere I've Done Something Wrong.
You Don't Like My Clothes,
Are My Jeans Too Tight?
Have I Ruined Your Gig?
Somewhere I've Done Something Right.

I Know A Superstar,
Hes A Smart Kid, Real Hip, Real Cool,
Well Maybe Not An A-List Star,
In Fact This Kid Is A Class A Fool.
A Few Months Back Started Acting Keen,
Now He Reads ID Magazine,
Bought An Indie Fringe,
With Stubble On His Chin
And A Dick On His Head.

Its Not That I Don't Like Your Style,
Its Just Now You Act Like A Tool.
Maybe You Can Step Back For A While,
While Having A Smackstyle, Beat-Box School.
Superstar Lyrics on http://www.lyricsmania.com
Will You Shoot This Fool
Because The World Doesn't Recognise
Your Fake ID,
And Will You Understand
With The Other 3 Pricks In Your Waistband

He Got His Clothes,
In A Retro Shop!
And He Looked Like A Million Bucks.
With Brand New Styles,
Such A Nice Haircut,
And Now Hes Got A Girl,
HE RULES THE WORLD!

Hes A Superstar!
HES A SUPERSTAR!
Hes A Superstar! (...)
