Biography

German based Eurodance act produced by [a=Team 33]. Active from 1992 to 2003. Re-Activated in 2008 (see below). The first lineup (1992-1997) consisted of: Toni Cottura (Smooth T), Rodney Hardison (Rod D.), Stephan Browarczyk (Steve), Balca "Balja" Tözün (Vocalist) and Marie-Anett Mey. The relaunch lineup (1997-2003) consisted of: Alexander "Al" Walser, Tiger One and Annett Möller. Fun Factory first consisted of Marie-Anett Mey, a model - most probably lip-syncing vocals performed by Balca (Fun Factory's first vocalist, who left for unknown reasons but was constantly credited on all Fun Factory releases up to 1997), Rod D. for the rapping, while Smooth T and Steve did the dancing for the videos and live performances. Their success really began with the track "Close To You" in 1994. The following singles "Take Your Chance", "Pain", "I Wanna B With U", and "Celebration" proved to be big club hits as well. In 1997, Toni Cottura left the act soon followed by Rod D, Marie-Anett and Steve. Three new members replaced them: Alfonso Walser (Al) and Tiger One (T-Roc) for the rapping and Anett Möller as the new female vocalist. After a few minor hits, mostly concentrated in Europe and Asia, the group ceased to exist in 2003. In 2008 the current owner of the trademark and producer Rekardo Heilig decided to re-animate the project with all new faces and new tracks. First single release is "Be Good to Me" featuring the new female vocalist Diana, singer DGS, rapper Douglas and performer Jenna. First appearance on German TV was on 2008-08-17 (ZDF). Currently a video clip is being produced and album "Storm in my Brain" is planned to be released in December 2008. In 2014 the group is formed again consisted three of original members again: Toni Cottura (Smooth T), Stephan Browarczyk (Steve), Balca Tözün and new member Anthony "Ski" Freeman.

LYRICS

Oh Baby talk to me
Oh Baby can't you see
Cause I'm the shiest girl
In the whole wide world
So come on take my hand
And make me understand
I want to be with you
I wanna be so close to you
I wanna be so close to you

You say you're shy girl, just take a look
The lessons of love and I wrote the book
The book of love is about you and me
The things we'll do and how we'll be
Together forever just as one
The life we live is just for fun
And what you see is what you get
And you ain't seen a damn thing yet
So let me flow just how I like
The love you give girl feels so right
So give me a chance to take your soul
I wanna take your body
And take control
No way to move, no way to groove
Factory bustin' out with a brand new groove
So get on the dance floor and take control
Before I lose my soul

I wanna spend my night with you girl
I wanna spend my life with you girl
I wanna give my life to you girl
I wanna be so close to you girl
