Put a donk on it
 

I've seen this posted on the WFMU blog a while ago. I don't know what to think, then again I think it's just some people having a laugh.

The North rises again...job's a good 'un, our kid.

I happen to think it's great, but you're by no means obliged to agree. I'm feeling more Bashout than I am guitarshaped lately, knowwhaI'msayin'?

You're right, it's not great by any stretch of the imagination. I like the video, though.

How about this then? HHC - it's a force of nature.

I really cant decide if I like it or not.
kinda cheesy reminds me of early nineties dancefloor (2unlimited etc.)
but with more skills.
at least I think its entertaining over a huge system while being drunk

hahaha... i've read about it. not yet heard it. its like 21st century lovechild of nsync and uffie, with better beats, only the vocals somehow manage to be more annoying than anything else i've ever heard. congrats UK

bleep bleep blioop

I'm not knocking anybody here for liking this, but to me, it is gawd-awful.

God Fucking Awful

go listen to the goddamn spice girls if you wanna hear techno bleepy dance shit saccharine cracka-ass bullshit.

You're a fuckwit. What's worse is you know you're a fuckwit. In your fuckwittery you excel. I particularly like how you've somehow mistaken the Spice Girls (who were a shit pop group) with techno (not very bleepy) and bleepy electronic music (not very dancey) and dance (you can't dance to the Spice Girls) and some other things.

Essentially, you're your own father, but at least he's not so much of a fuckwit as to advertise his fuckwittery to an audience of 10s.

to be far to rob though that song is crap

CRAP. grade A CRAP.
and just as bleep bloopy as spice girls' faster tunes.

zig ah zig ahhhhhh

what's a DONK then??

this is better

you all eat my ass

sike, video sucks though

That's crap too.

Is that a serious question? It's a donk! You put a donk on it, and the song has a donk on it. It's really very simple.

"I'm more ill than an asthmatic on crack" is an awesome line.

Why is this so awesome?

this is a DONK

i said it's better than put a donk on it, but it's greatness is due to dogzilla's fine rhyming skills

No I know it's awesome, but I don't know why it is that.

the combination of finely crafted rhyme skills and raw savagery is what i would put it down to

Is it as good as Junior Spesh though?

Other names for donk: scouse house, bounce.

Can't they just call it rubbish?

Put a Donk... is starting to get on my nerves now, but that DJ Sy tune is just ridiculously brilliant!

Here something that will put you off donk forever:

''Generally people attribute early-90's DUTCH (Dutch Dutch Dutch Dutch..... )producers Ultrabeat for pioneering the sound.''

LIES I TELL YOU! It's all about SOUTHEND.

Sometimes, the best song ever. But in the general run of things, just ridiculous.

It's true. I just finished reading a long article about it on a magazine. Also, apparently Wigan houses one record shop that sells exclusively donk, and it's called Power Records. Outside, kids play bootleg donk remixes on their mobile phones with tracks such as the Red Hot Chilli Peppers' 'Other Side', Katy Perry's 'I Kissed A Girl' and Chris Isaac's 'Wicked Game' getting bouncy makeovers.

The word 'donk' comes from the relentless, maddening 'donk' sound that's overlaid on the beats. The whole subculture stems from a noise that originated from an old-school keyboard sound-effect that emulates an empty drainpipe being hit by a paddle.

Not much different to the idea of a distortion pedal, which emulates the sound of a fucked amp (probably from the Who, or possibly Link Wray).

Loathe as i am to join the discussion of a thread called "Put a Donk on It", I do hope you are all kidding when you call this crock of shit a "subculture". Its kinda insulting to any young person who may wish to make music

You used to be able to get some cracking House makeovers like that in Trax, before it closed down. I've got a version of Swing Out Sister's 'Breakout' that pisses all over the original (some feat).

Why?

Yeah, I've heard a version of 'Some Might Say' by Oasis in a club once, which can only be described as 'helium-house'. It was good fun, in a disposable kind of way.
