Here are some lyrics from some of our favorite hit songs over the years. You should know them all and don’t act like you never sang along to the douchey pussy tunes because we all saw you doing it on the freeway. Some of these lyrics will blow your mind. I mean, wow!
Whoomp! (There it is) – Tag Team
“There’s a party over here
A party over there
Wave your hands in the air
Shake the deriere
These three words mean you’re gettin’ busy
Whoomp there it is
Whoomp there it is”
They lost me at “deriere”, a term not listed in any dictionary in my house. So, I guess we should remember that the three words, “shake the deriere” means you’re getting busy. Got it? Neither do I. Let’s move on.
Y.M.C.A. – The Village People
“It’s fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
It’s fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
They have everything that you need to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys …
It’s fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
It’s fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel …”
Well, we all know the Village People are gay but that’s not the point. The lyrics are just a little too perverted and suspect for our children to be listening to these days. It seems to be hinting at something more devious and sinister. I don’t know, that’s just me. Either way, the lyrics suck.
MMMBop – Hanson Brothers
“Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It’s a secret no one knows
It’s a secret no one knows”
You have to wonder if this is a song or a god damn motivational tool for the garden. Honestly, I don’t want to plant a seed or a flower or a rose because that secret that no one knows may not be such a great secret after all. Ever think of that, Hanson Brothers!?
Livin’ La Vida Loca – Ricky Martin
“She’s into superstitions black cats and voodoo dolls.
I feel a premonition that girl’s gonna make me fall.
She’s into new sensations new kicks in the candle light.
She’s got a new addiction for every day and night.
She’ll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain.
She’ll make you live her crazy life but she’ll take away your pain
like a bullet to your brain. Come On!”
Ever met a chick that was into “superstitions black cats and voodoo dolls”? WTF are we talking about here, Ricky? C’mon, dude! Oh, and by the way, no matter how hot a girl is, they ain’t getting a dude to take off his clothes and go dancing in the rain. Believe me, I know how the fellows think and they won’t be dancing in the damn rain naked. ‘Nuff said.
Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It – Will Smith
“Everybody lookin at me
Glancin the kid
Wishin they was dancin a jig
Here with this handsome kid
Ciga-cigar right from cuba-cuba
I just bite it
Its for the look I dont light it
Illway the an-may on the ance-day oor-flay
Givin up jiggy make it feel like foreplay
Yo, my car, yo its infinite-
Ha ha
Big willie styles all in it
Gettin jiggy wit it”
It would have been nice if the Fresh Prince (I’m old school so I call him by his real first name) had stopped and let his career end at the summer classic, “Summertime”. Unfortunately, Will wanted to keep showing off and make money so he started making the shittiest rap songs ever. “Illway the an-may on the ance-day oor-flay” sounds like baby talk, Will, and that just ain’t right. Put a lid on the dumb shit, dude.
