Joe Jonas' New Band DNCE Want To Be The "Biggest Band In The Universe"
They're our obsession all month long...
Mike PellComprising of front man Joe Jonas, guitarist JinJoo, bassist/keyboardist Cole Whittle, and drummer Jack Lawless, DNCE are our brand new MTV PUSH act for March which means we'll be obsessing over them all month long.
Pronounced "D-N-C-E", in the first of our exclusive videos the band told us how they got together, the origin of their band name and why they chose the quirkily 'Cake By The Ocean' as the title for their debut single...
"The name came in the creative process writing a song about being too tipsy or drunk to spell the word dance," Cole said, "and that's blossomed into four letters, four different unique superheroes. Each letter can mean whatever someone wants to so it's a very universal, big, open wide concept."
As for their infectious 'Cake By The Ocean' Joe revealed: "[We] wrote the song with some producers from Sweden, they kept confusing the drink 'Sex On The Beach' with 'Cake By The Ocean' and we ran with it."
"We shot the 'Cake By The Ocean' video in, I believe, Huntington beach," Cole added. "We brought a 15 ft cake to the beach and we invited a bunch of really beautiful, scantily clad people and we played the song for ten hours and goofed around."
See you walking round like it's a funeral
Not so serious, girl; why those feet cold?
We just getting started; don't you tiptoe, tiptoe, ah
Waste time with a masterpiece, don't waste time with a masterpiece
You should be rolling with me, you should be rolling with me, ah
You're a real-life fantasy, you're a real-life fantasy
But you're moving so carefully; let's start living dangerously
Talk to me, baby
I'm going blind from this sweet sweet craving, whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
Walk for me, baby
I'll be Diddy, you be Naomi - whoa oh
Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
Hot damn
See you licking frosting from your own hands
Want another taste, I'm begging, yes ma'am
I'm tired of all this candy on the dry land, dry land, oh
Waste time with a masterpiece, don't waste time with a masterpiece
You should be rolling with me, you should be rolling with me, ah
You're a real-life fantasy, you're a real-life fantasy
But you're moving so carefully; let's start living dangerously
Talk to me, baby
I'm going blind from this sweet sweet craving, whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
Walk for me, baby (walk for me now)
I'll be Diddy, you be Naomi - whoa oh
Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
You're fucking delicious
Talk to me, girl
Talk to me, baby
I'm going blind from this sweet sweet craving, whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
Walk for me, baby (walk for me now)
I'll be Diddy, you be Naomi - whoa oh
Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy (that's right)
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
Red velvet, vanilla, chocolate in my life
Funfetti, I'm ready; I need it every night
Red velvet, vanilla, chocolate in my life
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean.
As for what the future holds for the foursome, Cole told us: "The short term and long term plan for the band is to be the biggest band in the universe."
