Flunk is a Norwegian electronic band consisting of producer Ulf Nygaard, guitarist Jo Bakke, drummer Erik Ruud, and vocalist Anja Oyen Vister.
Flunk began as a project between Ulf, and Jo in Oslo, Norway in late 2000 and early 2001. Beginning as an instrumental and sampled vocal project, they were signed for a track on a compilation by Beatservice Records in winter of 2001. On hearing the finished track, label manager Vidar Hanssen signed the still-unnamed band for a full album.
During early summer 2001, Ulf and Jo recorded most of the album and Anja improvised the vocals. After their vocals, Jo layered the guitars, but it would be a year before the album would be completed and released.
In spring 2002, the band was known as Flunk and they released their first single, a cover of New Order's Blue Monday in April. The track was well received in the UK and was included on numerous compilations in North America and Europe. Later in April, their debut album For Sleepyheads Only was released which garnered great reviews in Norway. With the success of their album, BBC invited them to do a recording session for the Radio 1 show The Blue Room in London. Shortly after Notting Hill Art's Club would become the location of their live debut. In the United States, they signed with Guidance Recordings.
This time
I know it's gonna be for real
This time
I know it's gonna be for real
Full stand still
I miss the chemistry of your kiss
This time
I know it's gonna be for real
Full stand still
This time
I know it's gonna be for real
Full stand still
I miss the chemistry of your kiss
This time
I know it's gonna be for real
Full stand still
Alone
And it's for real
Oh full stand still
Alone
And it's for real
I feel so totally happy, and it's all so real
I could surf the earth on a banana peel
I'm so totally into this
The chemistry of your kiss
The way you lose yourself at night
The way you look in the morning light
You're so pretty
Makes me wanna burn this city down
I walk the streets with a frown
The size of a playground merry-go-round
This time (this time)
I know it's gonna be for real
You are Miss World
I miss
The chemistry of your kiss
Full stand still
Alone
And it's for real
Ah full stand still
This time
I know it's gonna be for real
Full stand still
Alone
And it's for real
I feel so totally happy, and it's all so real
I could surf the earth on a banana peel
I'm so totally into this
The chemistry of your kiss
The way you lose yourself at night
The way you look in the morning light
You're so pretty
Makes me wanna burn this city down
I walk the streets with a frown
The size of a playground merry-go-round
This time (this time)
I know it's gonna be for real
You are Miss World
I miss
The chemistry of your kiss
Alone...
The chemistry of your kiss
You are Miss World
I miss
