在一次偶然的创作中诞生的作品“Great DJ”成为了The ddddd ddddds第一首广受欢迎的作品。后来The ddddd ddddds将自己的另一首作品“That's Not My Name”和“Great DJ”收录在一起发行了乐队的第一张单曲〈Great DJ〉，由于经费的紧张，这张单曲只印制了500张，结果首批发行很快就销售一空，并且这张单曲在英国的限量发行版也登上了NME（英国著名音乐杂志）的“本周单曲”；而The ddddd ddddds挂在Myspace上的作品也得到了广泛的关注，被MySpace注册成员浏览超过170万次。
在独立音乐界的成功使The ddddd ddddds开始得到主流音乐界的注目：他们被BBC评为 “2008年十大必看”榜单中的第三名，在BBC一年一度的音乐调查“2008的声音”中这样评论到：“他们现在已经成为了独立音乐团体中最可靠和最受赞誉的一队。”
之后他们又得到SONY BMG旗下Columbia唱片的赏识，并与其签约。随后The ddddd ddddds带着他们的音乐开始登陆美国，沿着美国的海岸开始一系列的巡演；之后乐队的第一张大碟《We Started Nothing》也随即诞生。
音乐上的成功也使The ddddd ddddds得到一些知名品牌的青睐：在纽约时尚周乐队演出过程中，Betsey Johnson和 Dolce & Gabbana等品牌都使用乐队的“That's Not My Name”作为走秀的背景音乐；而2008年4月，苹果也在iPod + iTunes的广告中使用了The ddddd ddddds乐队的“Shut Up and Let Me Go”。这个广告可以在电视及apple的官网中看到。
“我们从来没有想过这些事情的发生，”乐队成员Katie说，“我想这正是这些事情发生的原因。因为我们很放松，我们只为自己做音乐，不为其他什么人。我们只写我们喜欢的歌。一切进展得都很顺利，我不知道这对我们意味着什么。我们只是随风而行。我们并没有什么事先的准备，我们也从来没有坐下来研究什么战斗计划，我们就走到了现在。”
fed up with your indigestion.
swallow words one by one.
your folks got high at a quarter to five.
don’t you feel you’re growing up undone.
nothing but the local dj.
he said he had some songs to play.
what went down from this fooling around.
gave hope and a brand new day.
imagine all the girls,
ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
and the boys,
ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
and the strings,
eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee.
and the drums, the drums,
the drums, the drums,
the drums, the drums,
the drums, the drums,
the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums.
oh
nothing was the same again.
all about where and when.
blowing our minds in a life unkind.
gotta love the bpm.
when his work was all but done
remembering how this begun.
we wore his love like a hand in a glove.
there’s a future plays it all night long.
nothing but the girls,
ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
and the boys,
ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
and the strings,
eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee.
and the drums, the drums,
the drums, the drums,
the drums, the drums…..
imagine all the girls.
ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
and the boys,
ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
and the strings,
eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee.
and the drums,
ah ah ah ah, ah, ah, ah, oh.
all the girls
ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
and the boys,
ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
and the strings,
eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee.
and the drums, the drums,
the drums, the drums.
说实话，我还是比较喜欢前奏那部分，不知道大家喜欢怎样的片段，拿来一起分享吧
