Teenage Bottlerocket is an American punk rock band formed in Laramie, Wyoming, United States, in 2001.
The band was formed by twin brothers Ray and Brandon Carlisle, following the dissolution of their previous band, Homeless Wonders, in 2000. Their music is heavily influenced by co-singer/guitarist Kody Templeman's other band, The Lillingtons, and punk rock acts such as Screeching Weasel, The Ramones, Bouncing Souls, and Misfits.
On November 7, 2015, drummer Brandon Carlisle died unexpectedly after a brief hospitalization.
History
Originally consisting of Ray (bass/vocals), Brandon (drums), and Zach Doe (guitar), the band released their debut EP A Bomb on a Laramie communal label, One Legged Pup, and distributed through Lost Cat Records, in 2002. Soon after, Doe left and went back to Chicago, leaving the twins without a guitarist until they found University of Wyoming Music Major Joel Pattinson. In 2003 they wrote and recorded their first full-length LP Another Way, also released on One Legged Pup. The release was vinyl only (the first 500 on pink vinyl), released on Halloween night 2003. The band continued to play and promote numerous local shows, even landing some opening spots in Laramie with All and The Ataris. The band was to embark on a short summer tour of the midwest in 2004. When Pattinson couldn't make the trip due to his obligations to the University Orchestra, the Carlisles called up their old friend Kody Templeman to play guitar on the tour. The tour went well, and they ended up playing some of the new songs that Kody had written. By the end of the tour, he was a permanent member of the band, although he has continued living in his hometown of Newcastle, 246 miles away from the rest of the band.
Founders Peter Challis and Augusta Quiney came from a music and advertising background when they founded A-Bomb in February 2001 as a startup business.
Their first large scale work was creating the sound design for Nike’s Secret Tournament adverts which ran through the 2002 FIFA World Cup. This campaign brought them international attention and started a long lasting working relationship with the Nike brand. They have since been appointed as soundtrack composers and music consultants for a large number of other worldwide brands.
In October 2009, A-Bomb were asked to supervise the music for Sony’s Soundville project directed by Juan Cabral, whereby the Icelandic town of Seydisfjordur was filled with speakers through which music was played to reflect the towns landscape. The campaign earnt A-Bomb yet more international recognition.
"Bad Girl" is a song by Japanese recording artist Meisa Kuroki from her debut extended play (EP), Hellcat. The song was one of the main tracks used to promote the album. "Bad Girl" was featured in the 2009 film Crows Zero 2, in which Kuroki also appears. A "movie version" of the song was included on the film's soundtrack, released simultaneously with Hellcat on April 8, 2009. The music video for "Bad Girl" was directed by Kensuke Kawamura.
Confessions is the fourth studio album by American R&B recording artist Usher; it was released on March 23, 2004, by Arista Records. Recording sessions for the album took place during 2003 to 2004 with production by Jermaine Dupri, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and Lil Jon, among others. Primarily an R&B album, Confessions showcases Usher as a crooner and incorporates musical elements of hip hop and crunk. The album's themes generated controversy about Usher's personal relationships; however, the album's primary producer Jermaine Dupri claimed the record reflects his personal story.
The album was an instant commercial success in the United States, selling 1.1 million copies in its first week. Its continued success was bolstered by its four chart-topping singles. As a strategy to boost its sales amid threats of bootlegging, a special edition was issued with the hit single "My Boo". Despite some mixed criticism towards its lyrical substance, Confessions received mostly positive reviews and earned Usher several awards, including a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album.
"Bad Girl" is a single by American singer La Toya Jackson. It was the lead single and title track of her 1989 album Bad Girl.
Release history
In 1989 Jackson started working on her sixth album, which was by then tentatively titled On My Own, with German producer Anthony Monn. The album was to be released by German label TELDEC and distributed through RCA records, like her previous studio album La Toya. Bad Girl was chosen as the lead single and it was released through TELDEC in mid-1989 in Germany, where it failed to chart. The single featured the b-side Piano Man. The song's title is a play on her brother's successful 1987 song Bad.
TELDEC and RCA records decided not to release the 9-track On My Own album, reportedly because of issues with Jackson's then-manager Jack Gordon, and the album was shelved. It was not until 1990 that Gordon sold the album to Sherman Records, who first released it in Italy as 12" vinyl album and later licensed it to countless small labels to release it. The album was retitled Bad Girl, and included three new tracks: the b-side Piano Man, Sexual Feeling and You and Me, the latter two of which Jackson had recorded in 1990. The original issue of the Bad Girl album featured the same artwork as the Bad Girl single.

I wanna be a dog I wanna lay around all day
Don’t want to be part of the stupid games that people play
I wanna be a dog throw all my cares away
Can’t wait for you to get back home so that we can play
I wanna be a dog, a dog
I wanna be a dog you can teach me how to beg
I’ll lick my balls and then when you get home I’ll hump your leg
I wanna be a dog just don’t be cruel to me
Don’t want to be in one of those commercials on tv
I’ll always curl up by your side when I’ve seen all...

I knocked down a tree with my bare hands
And I've been to all four corners of this land
I killed a giant spider with an iron sword
And I ran ten miles being chased by a zombie hoard
They call me Steve, I'll do anything you want me to
They call me Steve, I'll dig a hole to hell and back for you
I built a giant mansion in a mountain side
And it's fully furnished with a pool and water slide
But late at night the creepers walk me home
But I don't mind I'm getting used to spending nights alone
They call me Steve, I'll do anything you want me to
They call me Steve, I'll dig a hole to hell and back for you
I don't know what to do cause me and Steve are really missing you ...

Almost twenty years ago went someplace you shouldn't go
In a house up on a hill on a dare and for a thrill
Basically it's suicide once you step one foot inside
This house where lots of people died and currently reside
Things start floating round the room. This ain't no house, more like a tomb
Being here ain't very nice, keep thinking we’ll see Vincent Price
Hidden rooms and creepy halls, blood starts dripping down the walls
Portraits hung with moving eyes and what’s with all these fucking flies
I hear the werewolf bark, eyes start glowing in the dark
I got to get out of this haunted house haunted house
The lights go out then come back on, another guest is gone, this

In a house up on a hill on a dare and for a thrill
Basically it's suicide once you step one foot inside
This house where lots of people died and currently reside
Things start floating round the room. This ain't no house, more like a tomb
Being here ain't very nice, keep thinking we’ll see Vincent Price
Hidden rooms and creepy halls, blood starts dripping down the walls
Portraits hung with moving eyes and what’s with all these fucking flies
I hear the werewolf bark, eyes start glowing in the dark
I got to get out of this haunted house haunted house

We're living in a frightening age Especially with the scare of AIDS Soon we won't touch one another Without fear of losing a limb Yes, we're out on a limb Don't forget about AIDS and the bomb Open your eyes and ears and open up your mind Now there's this thing called the bomb You know the one that'll do us no harm The one that's here solely for our protection The same one that could blow us away, any day
