"Put A Banging Donk On It"

The Blackout Crew- “Put a Donk on It”
Let me know if you wanna t-shirt

I’m in a bit of a conundrum over this tune- how can I blog it?
and how can I not blog it?

Ok- I’ll say straight off the bat, it is completely ridiculous, and it ought to be irritating as f*ck. But instead I’m finding it bewilderingly moreish.

Is it the cheeky chippy Boltonian flow of the Blackout Crew MCs? Or the overwhelming feel-good, high energy vibe? I dunno – I’ve certainly never been a fan of happy hardcore, and this is that without a doubt- tho nowadays at least the yout can rhyme fast enough to keep up with it, what with all their grime and everything…

Maybe it just comes down to the donk- it is a great noise, even if it is completely moronic sounding when used on the off beat as it largely is here.

You tell me… am I losing it here or is this not a brilliant song? Please, I’m not joking, I REALLY DON’T KNOW and I’m scared :)

To get the full effect, check out the video below- the donk machine is particularly snazzy looking- you can just see it in the right of the youtube screenshot below…

    I don't know if you're right to blog it, but I wanted to thank you for doing so. I very much enjoyed it!

    Haha, This track is so wrong yet I know what your talking about as far as it's sickening catchiness. The fact that these guys are not trying to be ironic in any way makes it all the better.
    "Electro: Put a donk on it, Techno: Put a donk on it!"
    Without a doubt one of my favourite videos of this year comedy wise but should it be on here? Maybe kept in the weird section just to be on the safe side :D
    Respect as always…

    Good point Paul- now I hope more suitably categorised as "weird techno rave"!

    My 2 yr old daughter told me to "put a donk on it" earlier this evening, so the tune has multi-generational catchiness appeal. And theyre most definitely down with the kidz.

    God knows what it's doing to her mind though- I might have to take it down! :)

    It sounds a bit like the 2000s equivalent of those comedy records old Radio 1 DJs like Steve Wright and Dave Lee Travis used to put out in the 70s and 80s… not bad but I reckon Goldie Lookin Chain do this kind of chav chic better. But good comedy – certainly nothing wrong with that…
