'''Danger Danger''' is an American HairMetal band based in Queens, New York, one of the very last of their genre to break through. The band was formed in 1987 by vocalist Mike Pont, bassist Bruno Ravel, and drummer Steve West, though Pont later left and was replaced by Ted Poley. Their first album was simply known as ''Danger Danger'' and produced hits "Bang Bang" and "Naughty Naughty" (and no, not all of their songs are repeated words like the band's name).

Poley is perhaps best known these says as the singer on for "Escape from the City" from the ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' soundtrack (which he recorded with Tony Harnell) and various remixes thereof, as well as other in the ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' series.

Kinda funny that most of the tropes here about Revolve :P


* IntercourseWithYou: "Naughty Naughty."

to:

* HeavyMeta: "Rock America"
* IntercourseWithYou: "Naughty Naughty."" A lot of their songs actually.
* LyricalDissonance: "F.U.$.". It sounds like a typical 80s love ballad, but the lyrics are about wanting to have enough money that it would be basically a middle finger to everyone else.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Usually around 4-6.

* Bowdlerise: "F.U.$" was likely given that title because it would have probably been harder to distribute a song called "Fuck You Money."
* ClusterFBomb: Present in F.U.$.

Their first album was simply known as ''Danger Danger'' and produced hits "Bang Bang" and "Naughty Naughty" (and no, not all of their songs are repeated words like the band's name).

The album ''Cockroach'' went through some legal issues; it was was recorded in 1993, after which Ted Poley was fired. Naturally, Poley was not happy, so he ended up suing. The album eventually did get released in 2001 with two discs, one with vocals by Poley and one recorded by replacement vocalist Paul Laine.

In 2004, Laine left and Poley returned, with the album ''Revolve'' being his first Danger Danger Album since ''Cockroach''.

On the subject of Ted Poley, he has done some solo work and has contributed to the soundtracks for the ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' series, with "Escape from the City" (recorded with Tony Harnell) being one of the more popular ones (Poley worked on a remix in ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'', though Harnell did not return).

!!Danger Danger provides examples of:
* AntiLoveSong: "Killin' Love."
* Bowdlerise: "F.U.$" was likely given that title because it would have probably been harder to distribute a song called "Fuck You Money."
* ClusterFBomb: Present in F.U.$.
* HardRock: Some of their work falls under this.
* IntercourseWithYou: "Naughty Naughty."
* TakeThat: Ted sings of being as rich as Donald Trump with better hair in "F.U.$." (Of course, Ted [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Ted_Poley.jpg/800px-Ted_Poley.jpg definitely has a lot of hair]].)
