Zki & Dobre, known by many aliases, but currently most well known as Chocolate Puma (alternatively as The Good Men and as The Goodmen), are a Dutch house music duo from Haarlem, Netherlands. They comprise Gaston Steenkist ("Dobre") and René ter Horst ("DJ Zki"). They have produced multiple dance hits under various group names since the early 1990s. Their biggest international hits remains "Give It Up in 1993 credited as The Good Men and "Who Do You Love Now?" in 2001 credited to Riva featuring Dannii Minogue. They also founded their own record label Pssst Music.
As the Goodmen, their biggest hit was "Give It Up", a 1993 house music track based upon samba styled percussion and the simple, repeating vocal line of the song title. The percussion for the release was inspired by an earlier recording by Sérgio Mendes.
The song hit #1 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1993 and made a brief appearance on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at #71. After being re-released in late 1993, it reached #5 in the UK Singles Chart.
Riva was a pop rock band from Zadar, Croatia, then Yugoslavia, in the late 1980s.
After forming in 1986, the band appeared on Zagrebfest 1988. Their song "Rock Me" won the Eurovision Song Contest 1989 in Switzerland, with a score of 137 points. According to author John Kennedy O'Connor in The Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History it was an unexpected win. The band proved sceptics wrong bringing the first and only victory for Yugoslavia. The contest was organised in Zagreb in 1990. The group members parted ways in 1991.
come again she said
heading for the fungus road
one too many times
he's bitin you down to the bone
so you sail away
into the unknown
stay away he said
dont ever come back home
cry away the days the last so long
on the road she stays away
stay away
you can find me pain
that he left inside your home
fallin in the rain
your hole life has fall'n a part
so you say to me
into the unknown
stay away he said
dont ever come back home
cry away the days the last so long
on the road she stays away
alone she cries
use that inside
new look, new lies
who thought that he's that loser who once said
here's your kiss good bye
see this is real
she doesn't feel
lonely hearts
shattered dreams
there's nothing better in this place
nothing but memories in your mind
so you say to me
into the unknown
stay away he said
dont ever come back home
cry away the days the last so long
on the road she stays away
alone she cries
lose that hate inside
new love, new lies
who thought that he'd he's that ol' loser who once said
here's your kiss good bye
alone she cries
lose that hate inside
new love, new lies
who thought that he's that loser who once said
