The title of the second track reminds me of Madonna.

All Aboard: Cobra Starship
What happens when you mix seasoned rockers from different bands, a hit song for a cult-classic movie, and truly wicked sense of humor? Cobra Starship!

If you think there's something strangely familiar about this band, you're probably right!

When singer Gabe Saporta of Midtown hooked up with keyboardist Victoria Asher, bassist Ryland Blackinton, and guitarist Alex Suarez of the The Ivy League and drum technician Nate Navarro from Armor For Sleep in 2006, they formed a super-group called Cobra Starship. And they've been busy making sweet music together ever since!

Cobra actually started out as a solo mission for Gabe when he recorded "Hollaback Boy" - a spoof of Gwen Stefani's hit "Hollaback Girl" - and the song became a MySpace sensation.

So just how sweet is their sound? "Our music is like Strawberry Quik on that last sip, where it's all little crystals at the end and it's sooo good," says Gabe. "Or at the end of Cinnamon Toast Crunch when all the sugar gets sucked up with the milk - that's our music."

The band has been super-busy. Cobra opened up for Panic! At The Disco earlier this year and are currently touring with Cartel, Boys Like Girls, Permanent Me, and Quietdrive.

They also spent much of this year touring with a few other little bands – like 30 Seconds To Mars – on MTV’s $2 Bill Tour, where they made a habit of pulling fans up on-stage to fill in for Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy's verse on their hit Snakes On a Plane (Bring It).

But a hit song isn't all they share with Gym Class Heroes. The labelmates - who all call Pete Wentz's Decaydence brand home - bonded over a wacky passion for puns, which they indulged for much of last year while stuck on a tour bus together. It was "a crazy experience," says Gabe. "It was one practical joke after another. Old school stuff, like Dasashi telling me to look into a microscope that had ink on the rim. Or Travis telling someone to pull his finger."

Eeeew!

They also have similar tastes when it comes to the ladies. “We all have a crush on Lily Allen,” says Gabe. “She’s hot.”

Boys will be boys - and another thing these boys love are their fans. “They’re the most important thing,” says Gabe. "They’re the ones who come out and support us and pay money to see our shows, the least we can do is come out and talk to them after every show.”

But sometimes fan appreciation goes a little too far. “This one guy loved us sooo much that he snuck on our bus and tried to steal our stuff,” says Nate. “The best part is that he fell asleep in one of our bunks and we walked in after the show and found him passed out with a pile of iPods on his lap and clenching someone’s sunglasses in his hands!”

How did they handle this trespassing fan? “He got away!’ says Gabe. “But we took action. We immediately informed the venue and then called our moms to tell on him.” Talk about tough rockers.

I saw the video for "Send My Love To The Dancefloor, I'll See You In Hell (Hey Mr DJ)". Weird.
