aw yeah, check it, check it out, second verse girl!
so a friend of mine introduced me to this diamond of a song that i had never heard before, and i must admit has consistently been able to change my mood and get me laughing. it's by this UK boy band from the 90's called 5ive, who had one hit here in the US (at least as far as my recollection goes) called "when the lights go out". this other song, i feel is infinitely better, for too many reasons to explain. let's content ourselves with saying that everything about it raises many questions worth (or not) pondering at least momentarily.
we'll use the first line as an example: "do you wanna get freakay, when the five of us make one?"
what does that mean? i don't have an answer for that, if anybody else does i'd love to hear your thoughts. don't limit yourself to the lyrics either, the images themselves also provide plenty of absurd moments to enjoy. nuff said. check it:
Whoa... That's all I can say. The hallway scene reminds me of this music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRlzM4a1ll0 , though this one is much cooler... No offense to 5ive ;-)
ReplyDeletea couple questions that come to mind:
ReplyDeletewho are they singing to?
what is the funk? and how can you slam dunk it?
are women supposed to slam dunk the funk?
are many women in the UK super athletes that can slam dunk?
who wrote this song?
what quantity of which substances did he/she/they consume in order to inspire such creativity?
does 5ive know what this song means?
lastly, do they care?
