Stereolab is a UK-based band whose style, mixing 1950s-1960s pop and loungemusic with the "motorik" beat of krautrock, was one of the first to which the term " post-rock" was applied. They are noted for the use of vintage keyboard instruments like Moog synthesizers and Vox and Farfisa organs. Stereolab is also notable for founding their own record label, Duophonic Records, with a grant from UK charity The Prince's Trust. The band is often referred to as "The Groop" by their fans (and in the title of their song "The Groop Play Chord X" on the album Space Age Bachelor Pad Music). They were founded in 1990 by songwriters (guitar, keyboards), formerly of the band McCarthy, and Laetitia Sadier(sometimes credited as Seaya Sadier; vocals, keyboards, trombone, guitar), who is from franceand sings in both English and French.

Ping Pong Lyrics
Stereolab
Its alright cos the historical pattern has shown
How the economical cycle tends to revolve
In a round of decades three stages stand out in a loop
A slump and war then peel back to square one and back for more
Bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
Huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery
You see the recovery always comes round again
Theres nothing to worry for things will look after themselves
Its alright recovery always comes round again
Theres nothing to worry if things can only get better
Theres only millions that lose their jobs and homes and sometimes accents
Theres only millions that die in their bloody wars, its alright
Its only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing
Its only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that they are losing
Its alright cos the historical pattern has shown
How the economical cycle tends to revolve
In a round of decades three stages stand out in a loop
A slump and war then peel back to square one and back for more
Bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
Huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery
Dont worry be happy things will get better naturally
Dont worry shut up sit down go with it and be happy
Dum, dum, dum, de dum dum, de duh de duh de dum dum dum... ah ah
Dum, dum, dum, de dum dum, de duh de duh de dum dum dum... ah ah
