Chicks on Speed are a female electrogroup which got its origins in Munich, formed in 1997 after the members had met through the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. Chicks on Speed's core members consist of Alex Murray-Leslie (originally Nicki Murray-Leslie; born September 1, 1970, Australia), Melissa Logan (born September 9, 1970, USA) and Kiki Moorse (the daughter of the late film-maker George Moorse; born March 23, 1967, Germany). Around Chicks on Speed there is grouped a large and ever-changing collective of musicians, producers, graphic artists, designers, film and video makers, and so on. Though usually considered part of such musical genres as electroclash, actually Chicks on Speed started as a multidisciplinary art group, who applied punk-inspired DIY ethic to performance art, collage graphics and home-made fashion (they have created their own stage costumes with cheap and recycled material such as plastic bags and gaffa tape, for example). They originally got their name when they earned some extra money at art galleries by hanging paintings to the walls, and someone quipped that they worked like "chicks on speed".

Chicks On Speed

You ask me what I did today but Im not gonna say
I was watching something in a really really really big way
Im asking you questions better tell me something good
Fifteen minutes aint fast enough

Culture vulture

Smashing things on the weekends to get my kind of thrills
Smashing things on the weekends to get my thrills
I use sensation to get my stimulation
My stimulation it spells sensation

I need sensation to get my stimulation
My stimulation is spells sensation
More, more, more of what?

I need sensation to get my stimulation
My stimulation is spells sensation
More more, more of what?

Another necessity left here on the shelf
Do it fast or just tag along
Another necessity left here on the shelf
Do it fast or just tag along

In the evening when I come home
You ask me what? What did I say?
Well, Im not gonna say
Anno dommini but add another d
Attention deficiency, thats me
Im the disease of the century but I dont care
Anno dommini but add another d
Attention deficiency, thats me
Im the disease of the century but I dont care

Stop flicking my channels with your remote control
Stop flicking my channels with your remote control
Stop flicking my channels with your remote control
Defining the world through regurgitated, updated, mediocre, mainstream
media information
that smacks of sensation

You ask me what I did today but Im not gonna say
I was watching something in a really really really big way

Culture vulture
Hey you culture vultures

You ask me what I did today but Im not gonna say
I was watching something in a really really really big way

Culture vulture
Hey you culture vultures

You ask me what I did today but Im not gonna say
I was watching something in a really really really big way

Culture vulture
Hey you culture vultures
