LMFAO is an American electro hop duo founded in 2006 by DJ Redfoo (Stefan Kendal Gordy) and rapper Sky Blu (Skyler Hasten Gordy).
In relation to each other, Stefan and Skyler are not just members of the same duet or friends, but kindred spirits - their identical surnames tell us about this. Stefan is Skyler's uncle.
LMFAO: what does this abbreviation mean in translation?
Relatives, united by a craving for music, decide to create their own duet LMFAO, which means in literal translation "I laugh so that my ass falls off" (from the English. Laughing My Fucking Ass Off). An alternative translation of the abbreviation is “I laugh so much that I even fall on my ass.” If translated into Russian, we get "I'm falling with laughter."
Creation of LMFAO
Many popular songs are created under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Rumor has it that the famous single "Du hast" was written by Till Lindemann in a not entirely adequate condition. But the statement that the song was written under drugs or alcohol is quite true. It must have crossed your mind that the duo of uncle and nephew was named that while high. But really, the drug case is not for the LMFAO. The translation, of course, looks strange, but the name of the duet takessources from another direction. One day, Skyler Gordy was talking to his grandmother over the Internet. Sky Blu was very impressed by the correspondence with his relative. This Internet conversation gave rise to the duet's name with the cheerful abbreviation LMFAO.
Joining forces, Redfoo and Sky Blu release their first album on July 1, 2008, which was named "Party Rock on the iTunes Store". The duet achieves great success, and already in November, the uncle and his nephew create a contract with the Interscope label. Young performers conquer the audience with incendiary singles and clips. The image of the duet members is characterized by unusual and bright costumes, sometimes even ridiculous. It is even not uncommon for the duet members to take the stage in just shorts and sneakers. LMFAO continued to exist for a short time.
Duo breakup
Sky Blu and Redfoo act as DJs, rappers, dancers and producers as a duo. The theme of LMFAO is eternal fun. The duet has gained great popularity among young people. However, in 2012, the duo LMFAO broke up, which meant the end of joint concerts and the release of albums. Sky Blu and Redfoo decide to go in different directions.
Before the collapse of the group's songs were constantly spinning in discos. In every group of young people one could hear a joke about "I'm sexy and I know it" - the words from the song, which is called exactly the same. This single was number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts. The incendiary rhythms of LMFAO songs will forever remain in the hearts of students and schoolchildren, which means confidence inthe immortality of the duo of cheerful uncle Stefan and his nephew Skyler.
