Dirty Mind

The Zoo Crew is spinning "Dirty Mind" by Danger Danger from their 2009 album Revolve, a track that’s got the Zoo Freaks grooving with its sleazy, hard-rock swagger. This song, with its infectious hooks and gritty vibe, stands out as a fan favorite from the album, often praised for its raw energy and playful innuendo. In a 2009 interview with MelodicRock.com, bassist Bruno Ravel described "Dirty Mind" as a track that came together organically, capturing the band’s love for classic glam metal with a modern twist. He noted that the song’s cheeky lyrics were inspired by the band’s time on the road, where late-night antics and a sense of reckless fun fueled their creative process. While specific social media posts about the song are scarce, fans on platforms like Danger Danger’s official Facebook have shared clips of live performances from the Revolve tour, highlighting the crowd’s wild response to "Dirty Mind"’s driving riffs and sing-along chorus.

Another tidbit comes from a 2010 fan post on the Danger Danger Fan Group on Facebook, where a Zoo Freak-esque devotee recounted meeting vocalist Ted Poley after a show and learning that "Dirty Mind" was one of the band’s favorite tracks to perform live due to its high-octane energy. The song’s music video, available on YouTube, leans into the band’s tongue-in-cheek style, featuring over-the-top visuals that pay homage to the excess of ‘80s hair metal. Though Danger Danger’s Instagram doesn’t dive deep into "Dirty Mind" specifically, recent posts show the band reminiscing about the Revolve era, with throwback photos and captions teasing the album’s enduring appeal among their followers.

Danger Danger got their start in the late 1980s in New York, a hotbed for the burgeoning glam metal scene. Formed by bassist Bruno Ravel and drummer Steve West, the band quickly recruited vocalist Ted Poley, guitarist Andy Timmons, and keyboardist Kasey Smith, crafting a sound that blended catchy melodies with polished production. Their big break came in 1989 when they signed with Epic Records, releasing their self-titled debut album that same year. The album spawned the single "Naughty Naughty," which caught the attention of MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball and established the band as a rising force in the hair metal world. Despite the shifting musical landscape of the 1990s, with grunge overshadowing glam, Danger Danger persevered, releasing albums like Screw It! (1991) and Revolve (2009), which marked a triumphant return to their roots after years of lineup changes and industry challenges.
