Did Justin Timberlake Really Bring Sexy Back?

A smash hit in 2006 that is extremely catchy, SexyBack by Justin Timberlake, featuring Timbaland has some very quotable lines. The song begins with some synths, possibly an attempt to make “dark, sexy, spooky” music to shed his image as “the guy from *NSYNC”. The lyrics then come in with “I’m bringing sexy back, them other boys don’t know how to act. I think it’s special, what’s behind your back? So turn around and pick up the slack.” Justin claims that he is in fact, bringing sexy back, but did sexy ever leave? If so, when? How is he bringing it back? I personally believe it never left, and he is not in fact bringing it back, or even giving a boost to what already existed. He then claims that other boys don’t know how to act, which could refer to them misbehaving or  engaging in sexual misconduct, or simply being not sexy. He then says “I think it’s special, what’s behind your back?” and it varies depending where the individual is. If I am standing behind a wall, it is the wall. Or maybe he is stating he thinks “sexy” is special, and asks what is behind my back. Or maybe he is being stupid, and saying he believes the listener’s “ass” to be special, corroborated by the line “so turn around and I’ll pick up the slack.” During the verse, and all the verses, a voice, possibly Timbaland? says “yeah” after all of Justin’s lines, and is either being Justin’s hype man or buddy, or is the subject of the song. Next is the line “Take it to the bridge, c’mon!”, and Timbaland says “let’s see!” The chorus then goes “Dirty babe, you see these shackles, baby I’m your slave, I’ll let you whip me if I misbehave, it’s just that no one makes me feel this way”, and Timbaland’s backing vocals echo the first verse, except they go “uh-huh”, as if to affirm or acknowledge what Justin is singing about, and funny enough it ends in “take it to the chorus!” In the chorus, Justin makes it evident that this song is about BDSM, with its references to whips and handcuffs to “slave” as in “master and servant” or “happiness in slavery” suggests he is trying to be like Trent Reznor or Martin Gore and write cool songs about BDSM from the submissive’s perspective. Justin claims that no one makes him feel this way, which is false, as he is obviously stating that the listener (or possibly Timbaland) makes him feel like this. It then, its taken to the chorus, where Timbaland sings lead and Justin on backup, going “Come here girl, come to the back, VIP, drinks on me, let me see what you’re twerking with, look at those hips, you make me smile, go ‘head child, and get your sexy on”, and “get your sexy on” is then repeated 7 times, for a total of 8. Justin’s backup appears each line after Timbaland’s line saying “go ‘head, be gone with it” suggesting to “hurry up”. Timbaland is trying to attract this girl, to the back of the club,  saying she is a very important person, and that he will pay for the drinks. I believe it is then a pun as “see what you’re working with” and “see what you’re twerking with” sound very similar, however twerking refers to a dance move that emphasizes the movement of the buttocks in a rhythmic motion, which makes sense given the “look at those hips”. However she can’t really look at her own hips, and he is either saying it to himself as in like “DAMN, you have nice hips!” or possibly to another person in the room. However, calling her child is a bad idea, as that is wrong. I suggest this is among the worst terms of endearment you can call someone you are sexually involved with. He then suggests she get her sexy on, but isn’t she already sexy? Does he not find her attractive? Is she not attractive enough? Is he asking for sex? Is sexy like a light switch? Then the next verse with Justin singing, “I’m bringing sexy back, them other fuckers don’t know how to act. Girl let me make up for the things you lack, ‘cause you’re burning up, I gotta get it fast” with the “yea” backups. He once again claims to bring sexy back, and other people to not be sexy. He suggests to the girl that he will compensate for something she is missing, as she is “turned on” as they say, and he is presumably, too. Then, “TAKE IT TO THE BRIDGE!”, with the same bridge from earlier, and then the exact same chorus. Then it changes and then it goes “You ready? You ready? You ready? Uh” and a background voice then a woman saying “yes”, likely asking if she is ready to have sex. Next is the verse “I’m bringing sexy back, you motherfuckers watch how I attack. If that’s your girl you better watch your back. ‘Cause she’ll burn it up for me and that’s a fact.” with the same backing vocals once more. He instructs other people, who are “motherfuckers” despite likely not engaging in such activities with their own mothers (other people’s mothers however, possibly), telling them to watch out, as he will steal your girl, and she will tie him up and whip him. Then it gets taken to the same bridge, and then to the same chorus, and then it ends with the same “you ready?” part. There are some interpretations on to who they might be singing to. Are JT and Timbo singing to different women? Are they singing to the same woman? Are they singing to each other? Maybe the “go ahead be gone with it” is just Justin telling Timbaland to hurry up so it can be his turn, and the “uh-huh” is just Timbaland agreeing how sexy Justin is. What if Timbaland’s character is saying “yea!” and affirming Justin’s claimed sexual prowess? Why else would they be on backup for each other, affirming the other one’s claims? My conclusion, is that sexy never vanished, and therefore did not need to come back. My other conclusion is that Justin and Timbaland are singing to each other. To whoever reading this, I hope you get your sexy on and make what you will of my interpretation of this song.

How Sexy is Too Sexy?

Yet again, another song from 1991, but this time, it is one of those songs that has eclipsed itself, it has become more than the song, an entire catchphrase. That song is “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred. This amazing shitpost of a song begins with the lines “I’m too sexy for my love, too sexy for my love, love’s going to leave me.” Our protagonist establishes themself as a as a force to be reckoned with, a force of pure sexiness. Sexy is, as you know, short for “sexually attractive”, or attraction based off of sexual desire or causing such desire. Sexual desire is when you want to engage in sexual activities. If you do not know what sex is, you are too young to be reading this, please go listen to The Wiggles or whatever the fuck children do. So our protagonist, who we will call Sexgod, is so sexy, that their significant other could not handle it, and left them. There may be some reasoning to this as their love either was so turned on by Sexgod that it became unbearable, or that they did not think they were deserving of such a fine being. Next up is the lines “I’m too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt, so sexy it hurts.” Sexgod may have a few reasons for going shirtless, either they have such a nice chest that it must be shown off in all its glory, or said shirt is either physically irritating or disrupting the sexiness. Then “I’m too sexy for Milan, too sexy for Milan, New York and Japan.” Sexgod is too sexy for the Italian city of Milan, capital of the region of Lombardy, the American state of New York or possibly simply the largest city, New York City, and the entire island country of Japan, which is located in East Asia. Milan is well known for its fashion, as is New York City. Japan is also known for its fashion. It is unclear if Sexgod is banned from these places or if it is simply an observation as the people in the places listed are too busy admiring Sexgod to perform their daily functions. Next is the line “And I’m too sexy for your party, too sexy for your party, no way I’m disco dancing.” Sexgod cannot go to the party due to everyone at the party wanting to “hit it” as they say and Sexgod’s dance moves may be so great that people will be begging to sleep with them. Another meaning is that Sexgod may be too cool and too sexy for the decidedly uncool act that is disco dancing. Then the chorus “I’m a model, you know what I mean, and I do my little turn on the catwalk. Yeah, on the catwalk. Yeah, on the catwalk. I do my little turn on the catwalk.” Sexgod has used their sexiness to an advantage and became a model. However the “you know what I mean” may suggest that Sexgod has also engaged in what is known as “glamour photography”, in which the subjects are in erotic poses with a range of fully clothing on, even possible nudity. This is a very fitting career choice due to Sexgod being too sexy for many things. Sexgod is shown to be a runway model, showing off fashion on catwalks. A catwalk is a platform running from the stage to the auditorium, so people can get up and close to Sexgod and proceed to get heart palpitations. I personally believe that fetish fashion would be a very fitting choice in modelling for Sexgod due to their immense sexiness, however it could be too much for the viewer. The next verse starts with the lines “I’m too sexy for my car, too sexy for my car, too sexy by far.”, signifying that Sexgod possibly could not acquire a driver’s licence due to the teacher being overwhelmed by the sexiness, the other cars crashing into Sexgod’s car upon seeing who is in the driver’s seat, or Sexgod simply wanting to show themselves off on public transport. Then is, “I’m too sexy for my hat, too sexy for my hat, what ya think about that?”. Sexgod refuses to wear hats due to obscuring part of the sexiness, or the hat is too astounded by the sexy as to refuse to stay on their head. The question on the end is likely rhetorical, as Sexgod KNOWS they are already too sexy for a variety of things. The chorus is then repeated but the last line is changed to “I shake my little tush on the catwalk.” Sexgod is shaking what is known as “ass” at the viewers, possibly to sexually incite them and solidify the message of this song. Next is the verse that goes “Too sexy for my, too sexy for my, too sexy for my...cut!” Now, I personally do not believe Sexgod has magical healing powers, causing any wounds to automatically heal due out of respect for the immense sexiness. I believe this is just a restatement of the core tenets of this song, that they are too sexy to enjoy much of the things people take for granted, and then telling it to “cut!” or go to the chorus, which it does, it repeats the second chorus. Then is, “I’m too sexy for my cat, too sexy for my cat, poor pussy, poor pussy cat.” Sexgod’s cat is overwhelmed by their sexiness, and Sexgod is sorry that they’re too sexy for the cat. There is a pun here, as “pussy” is both referring to the type of genitals, and Felis catus, or the domestic cat. Sexgod is likely aware of their effects on people’s “private parts” or  “sexy bits”, and is possibly also apologizing for the upset or distraction caused by it, as sexual desire is shown to have *ahem* effects on the genitals. Sexgod then says “I’m too sexy for my love, too sexy for my love, love’s going to leave me”, which opened the song. I am not sure why they would have to state this again, however it may be a new love that was found, who left due to the same reasons. And then the line “And I’m too sexy for this song.” and which the song promptly ends. What a beautiful way to close your statement about your unbelievable amount of sexual attractiveness. I aspire to reach even 1/69th of the sheer sexiness that they have. How sexy do you have to be for even simple things to be distrupted due to your godly appearance? I’m too sexy for this analysis.

Rico Suave, That’s All I Can Say

The early 90′s were a strange time for hip-hop as it became increasingly more mainstream. In 1991, the single “Rico Suave” by Ecuadorian singer and rapper Gerardo would sadly chart at 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. Being a bilingual song in both English and Spanish, I have enlisted a friend of mine to help me with the Spanish lyrics. The song begins, and then has the refrain  “Riiicooo. Suaavee”, meaning “rich and smooth”, meaning rich as in taste, “tasty and smooth” could either mean he is a “snack” or referring to his penis. However, Rico is a first name, and much to the dismay of Gerardo, I shall be referring to the character in this song as “Rico Suave”. The first verse, in Spanish goes “ "Seguro que han oído que yo soy educado, soy un caballerito un chico bien portado. Un joven responsible, why siempre bien vestido. Yo no se quien ha mentido", meaning “Surely, you have heard that I am educated. I am a gentleman, a well behaved boy, a responsible young man, why always well dressed, I don't know who lies.” Rico Suave claims to be a smart, behaved gentleman with a great fashion sense, but if you have ever seen the music video, it did not stand the test of time. He also claims that people are lying about his fashion sense and behavior, and as this song continues, you will learn that it would be a bad idea to even consider engaging an conversation with Señor Suave. Then in English, “I don’t drink or smoke, ain’t into dope, won’t try no coke, ask me how do I cope. My only addiction has to do with the female species, I eat them raw like sushi.” Rico Suave is completely sober, and his only sin is his insatiable lust for what is known as “pussy”. However, he has instantly failed biology class, as “the female species” does not exist, they are also human. This may also work as he sees women as “other” and solidify his view on them as sex objects. It is also evident that he does not know how to perform the act of cunnilingus, as using teeth is a bad idea, and actually eating someone’s genitals is generally a bad idea. Raw could also mean with no preparation, meaning that the poor ladies that Rico Suave is scoring aren’t ready for the catastrophe that is sex with him. Another quip I have with this line is how simply unsexy it is, however it make sense given that Rico Suave is shown to be a womanizer. Next is the verse  "No me gustan ternos, mi estilo es moderno. Si me enterno, yo me enfermo. Mi apariencia es dura, vivo en la locura. No me vengan con ternuras" which means “I do not like fancy clothes, my style is modern. If I wear a suit, I get sick. My appearence is tough, I live in madness. Do not come to me with tenderness.” He clarifies that he is not a formally dressed man, but rather possesses a “hip”, “modern” style. He then clarifies that if he wears a suit, he gets sick, which is impossible unless the suit were to have pathogens on them, however the chance he would begin to feel physically ill while wearing it is unlikely. He claims to have a tough appearance, however I believe that I could beat him up. He also claims to have a crazy life, which it truly must be if your entire existence consists of picking up women. He also states do not come to him with tenderness, suggesting he is not interested in romantic activities. Then “ So please don't judge a book by its cover, there's more to being a Latin lover. You got to know how to deal with a woman that won't let go, the price you pay for being a gigolo”. Rico states not to judge him by his cover and to get to know him, but I can read him like a book and put him back up on the shelf. He then claims he is simply playing the stereotype of the “Latin lover”, however I have yet to meet anyone who would consider Rico Suave a good significant other. He then states you must learn to deal with clingy woman if you are a gigolo, or a young man paid by an older woman to be her escort or lover. Rico sounds a bit like a prostitute right now, and I would not pay for his services. Next the “Rico Suave” refrain is repeated, and then the brilliant verse “There’s not a woman who can handle a man like me, that’s why I juggle two or three. I ain’t one to commit, you can omit that bit, you pop the question, that’s it.” Rico admits he is either in a polyamorous relationship or a serial cheater, more likely that latter. He also outs himself as non-committal, and upon a girl asking him to marry her, he leaves her. Next is the Spanish verse “A ver: uno, dos, tres, cuatro mujeres, y la situación ahí no muere. No es un delito calmo mi apetito con un llanto o un grito” meaning “Let’s see, one, two, three, four women, and that’s not the end of it. It’s not a crime to calm my appetite with a cry or scream.” Rico is currently in a relationship with over four women, and states that he isn’t breaking any laws, only possibly moral laws, and that he calms his appetite with a cry or scream, hopefully during sex, however I wouldn’t doubt him to be up to more nefarious acts. Then is “So again, don't let my lyrics mislead you, I don't love you but I need you. Would you rather have me lie, take a piece of your pie, and say bye, or be honest and rub your thighs.” He claims despite these words he is writing, he does not love you, but he needs you...needs you to have sex with him more like it! He then questions the listener if he would lie saying he is monogamous, have sex with them, and leave, or be honest about how much of a “whore” he is, and have sex with them. Then, the refrain is repeated and then “ Well, it's ten o'clock and I'm two hours late, I never said I was a prompt date. But you kept persisting that I meet your parents. Huh, they're going to love my appearance.” He arrives late to MY house, two hours late after I said he come over at eight, his delay possibly due to having sex with someone else, and then shrugs it off. He then claims I told him he should meet MY parents and NO, I DID NOT. They might think you are well dressed, but I did not invite you over. Then “Ding dong el timbre suena, tu madre abre, qué vieja más buena. Le digo ¡Hola! Pero no para bola, que se ha creido vieja chola.” which roughly means, “Ding dong, the bell rings, your mom opens, what a MILF. I say “Hey!”, but she doesn’t listen, what the fuck you dumb whore?”. My mother opens the door for him, but she is likely disappointed in him, so doesn’t say much, but he think’s she’s hot. What the hell, my mother’s happily married you thot! Why did you insult my mom like that! Next is the “Go and serve the food Mom, que tengo hambre, if you don’t hurry, me va a dar calambre.” The Spanish parts mean “I am hungry” and “I will start to cramp”. He is hungry, what else? Next “Y usted señor? Why's your chin on the floor? Sierra la boca por favor. What's this amor, these little huevos? Esto si que yo no pruebo.” Meaning “And you sir? Why’s your chin on the floor? Close your mouth please. What’s this love, these little eggs? I can’t eat this shit!” This takes place at MY dinner table, and he hates my mom’s cooking. Now I should also mention that huevos can also mean “balls” or “testicles”, which makes this funny, as I think Rico Suave must have ridiculously small balls to mock my mother. Then “I'm used to good ol' fashioned homestyle Spanish cooking, If I try that I'll be puking. Well it's been a pleasure but we got to go.” He did not even eat the food, what a picky eater. And he’s taking me with him? Fuck no. Next up is the Spanish “Regresaremos temprano, cinco, seis, o siete de la ma��ana. Su hija esta en buenas manos” meaning “We will be back early, at 5, 6, or 7 in the morning, your daughter is in good hands.” I am not in good hands, and Rico should know damn well I did not want to go with him. I’m not even awake at that time, likely meaning he’s going to attempt to have sex from arrival at his house which is after 10 pm to 7 am at the latest. He then repeats the refrain “Rrriicooo...Suuuaaavveee”, and it finally fucking ends. Rico has finally shut the fuck up about how much hoes he gets and how I am one of them, and how he wants to fuck my mother. Rico, I don’t even know you but I hope the protagonist of this song is victim to a penile fracture for the sushi line alone.

Does Ram Ranch Really Rock?

In the viral song “Ram Ranch” by Grant MacDonald, the song is set at a ranching facility known as “Ram Ranch”. The song begins with a guitar riff and vocals that are off rhythm saying “18 naked cowboys in the showers at Ram Ranch, big hard throbbing cocks wanting to be sucked. 18 naked cowboys wanting to be fucked. Cowboys in the showers at Ram Ranch on their knees wanting to suck cowboy cocks, Ram Ranch really rocks!” 18, or eighteen is the number above 17 and below 19. They are naked, as in having no clothing, as they are in the showers. The cowboys possibly live there if they are showering there. At least two of the cowboys have large erections, that are so intense that they feel the blood throbbing, and the possessors of these penises want to receive the act of fellatio, which is when the penis is sucked. All 18 of these cowboys want to engage in sex acts. Some of the cowboys are even on their knees, which creates a visual image as you can beg on your knees, but also a common oral sex position is where the person getting “the suck” stands, and the person doing “the suck” is on their knees. If they do receive the cowboy cocks, they are already in the proper position to do so. Grant MacDonald then goes to claim that Ram Ranch really rocks, however that is his opinion and there is no input from any of the cowboys. The next verse has the lyrics “Hot hard buff cowboys, their cocks throbbing hard. 18 more wild cowboys out in the yard, big bulging cocks ever so hard.” There are sexually attractive muscular cowboys with intense erections, however Grant MacDonald states the cowboys are hard twice, which he did not need to do. We already know that their penises are hard. We are then told that there are 18 more cowboys, that are wild, possibly undomesticated, in the yard, who also have extremely hard erections, so intense that it is visible through their pants or other leg garments. There is a chord change and then the lines “Orgy in the showers at Ram Ranch, big hard throbbing cocks ramming cowboy butt, like a breeding ram wanting to rut.” There is an orgy, which I believe to be where five or more people engage in sex acts with each other, occurring in the showers, likely between the 18 cowboys mentioned earlier in the song. Said cowboys are engaging in the act of anal sex, which is compared to the manner in which rams mate, playing on the name of the ranch they are at. A rut is a sexual activity in deer and some other mammals which males fight each other for access to females, meaning that they are “fighting” each other with their penises in a very rough manner. The next verse, “Big hard throbbing cocks getting sucked real deep, cowboys even getting fucked in their sleep. Ram Ranch, it rocks! Cowboys love big hard throbbing cocks.” The erect penises of the cowboys are being orally pleasured, and some of them even are the recipients of sex acts in their sleep. It is possible that only cowboys who have a kink or fantasy of sleep sex enter Ram Ranch as this could be a possible breach of consent otherwise, or a contract is signed while entering Ram Ranch to affirm that they are OK with doing it. Ram Ranch is then claimed to “rock”, or be “cool”, and I cannot confirm this, and then Grant MacDonald claims that “cowboys love big hard throbbing cocks”. I cannot speak on behalf of all cowboys, however I struggle to believe that a general trait of cowboys is their love of large erect penises. It is possible the only cowboys Grant MacDonald is familiar with is cowboys who do enjoy big hard throbbing cocks, or he is overgeneralizing. The entire song is then repeated again, and I can safely say that Ram Ranch might rock, although I have never been to it.

Who Let The Dogs Out?

The Baha Men song “Who Let The Dogs Out” has been baffling people for the past twenty years. The song (music video version) begins with the opening phrase "For one zillion dollars, the question is, who let the dogs out?" in a parody of Who wants To Be a Millionaire? This line suggests the members of the Baha Men, are competing to gain money, and this is a bad question to ask as who wants to be a millionaire questions have 4 choices, this would be better suited as a jeopardy question, but Jeopardy questions give you the answer and you ask the question. Then, an alarm rings, possibly signaling a bypass of a security system and then someone says "Who let the dogs out?" Then, the song jumps in and we get the iconic refrain "Who let the dogs out? Who who who who" repeated. The "who" sound is a clever pun used to imitate the noise of Canis lupus familiaris, better known as a dog. It is believed that dogs first genetically diverged from wolves between 20k and 40k years ago, and the first confirmed domestic dog dates back to a burial site in Germany from 14k years ago. Next, is the verse "well the party was nice, the party was pumping" and the refrain "yippie-yi-yo" which appears throughout the verses. It is believed to be a reference to the 1998 Public Announcement song "Body Bumpin' (Yippie-Yi-Yo)" which in itself is believed to be a reference to a 1930s Bing Crosby song called "I'm An Old Cowhand". Back to the verse, there was a party that was occuring and then its stated "everyone was having a ball", however dogs are commonly neutered, and assuming the dogs escaped, it can be assumed they were let out prior to this statement. Then the line "until the fellas started name calling, and the girls respond to the call, i heard a woman shout" and then back to the "who let the dogs out refrain". It is now evident that this entire song is a play on words, as the woman is calling the man a "dog" to insult him after misbehaving in some way, possibly cat-calling or wolf-whistling, it was not a question of who released the canines animals, but a rhetorical question commenting on who allowed such vile men to enter the vicinity. Then is the bridge "I see ya little speedboat head up our coast, she really want to skip town, get back scruffy, get back gruffy, get back you flea-infested mongrel". It can be assumed this part of the song is on an actual boat, as the only other way I can interpret this is about a sexually attractive person and still this doesn't make too much sense, back to the dog puns, it is unclear who this is referring to, are the Baha Men calling the woman a dog? Is the woman calling them dogs? Is the woman actually a dog? Then the second verse "Gonna tell myself "hey man no get angry", to any girls calling them canine, hey! But they tell me "hey man it's part of the party", you put a woman in front and her man behind, I heard a woman shout...". This verse touches on how the narrator doesn't want to see his friends be insulted and is told that it's just what drunk people do, and references the sexual position known as "doggy style". This is where my childhood is ruined. Then the chorus, and then the next bridge which goes "A doggy is nuttin' if he don't have a bone (oh doggy hold ya bone, oh doggy hold it)" twice. This is a line referring to how the "dog" can't go without having sex, "boning". The other part may possibly be telling the "dog" to either refrain from having sex, or to engage in the act of masturbation as a substitute to sexual activities with another person.The chorus is then repeated, and so is the "speedboat head up" bridge. Then is the rapped verse "Well if i am a dog, the party is on, i gotta get my groove cause my mind gone done, do you see the rays coming from my eye, walking through the place, that Diji man is breaking it down? Me and my white short shorts, and I can't see color, any color will do, I'll stick on you, that's why they call me Pitbull, cause I'm the man of the land, when they see me they say woo!" The man accepts he is a dog, and his mind is no longer comprehensive of the world due to intoxication, he then refers to his sunglasses, the DJ, and his shorts. He states that he can't see color, possibly referring to extreme intoxication, the myth that dogs are colorblind, and also that skin color does not matter, he will have sex with you anyway. Since this song was released in 2000, four years before the release of the rapper Pitbull’s debut album “M.I.A.M.I.”, it is evident that this is referring to the dog breed. Pitbulls have a reputation for being violent, which may mean that he "jumps" on women. Then he says he is the man of the land, possibly referring to a possible "wanted" status for mentioning possible crimes he has committed, or he is in no-man's-land, meaning he is in disputed territory between legality and illegality. However, rest assure people do not have a bad reputation of him, cause they go "Woo!", a exclamation of enjoyment when they see him. Then the chorus occurs, and the song comes to a close. If there is anything you can take away, this song is more sexual than you thought.

Is Scatman John really THE Scatman?

In the song Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop) by Scatman John, he first claims to be THE scatman Now, there are a few definitions of scat, one is vocal improv with wordless or meaningless vocals, and the other refers to fecal matter He claims this after going "Ska-badabadabadoo-belidabbelydabbladabbladabblabab-belibabbelibabbelibabbelabbelo-doobelidoo", solidifying him referring to the former meaning. However, he was not the first to employ scat singing in music, as there are many songs to use scat singing dating from the 1910s, over 80 years before Scatman John would claim to be THE Scatman. The foundation of modern scat is considered to be Louis Armstrong's 1926 song "Heebie Jeebies", 68 years before the release of Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop). He then goes "Ski-bi-dibby-dib yo-da-dub-dub, yo-da-dub-dub" twice in a form of scat singing, and then once again claiming to be THE scatman Then is the hook where he goes "Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop-bop-bodda-bope Bop-ba-bodda-bope Be-bop-ba-bodda-bope, bop-ba-bodda Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop-ba-bodda-bope Bop-ba-bodda-bope Be-bop-ba-bodda-bope, bop-ba-bodda-bope" and I cannot dispute this claim. First verse, he opens with the same scat phrase he did in the very opening and claims "everyone stutters in one way or the other". This is referring to Scatman John's childhood stutter, and as someone who was a child with a speech impediment, I can profess that many people do in fact struggle with articulating themselves and even normal people slip up while speaking in what is known as a "speech error”. He then says "so check out my message to you, as a matter of fact, I don't let nothing hold you back, if the Scatman can do it, so can you" He did not let his stutter get in the way of his scat singing, shown in the above verse. However, there are some things the Scatman can do which most people can't, such as release a song that topped the charts in 11 countries, which is exactly what he did with this one. "Everybody's saying that the Scatman stutters But doesn't ever stutter when he sings But what you don't know, I'm gonna tell you right now That the stutter and the scat is the same thing to you" There is some psychological proof to this as the part of the brain that controls music and singing is different from the part that controls normal speech, however stuttering and scat singing are NOT the same. Stuttering is a speech disorder in which the flow of speech is involuntarily disrupted by repetitions and prolongations of sounds, far different from the definiton of scat singing. Then he says "I'm the Scatman" and then the next line 'Where's the Scatman" and it's obvious, he is right here. He is the Scatman. And then he says "I'm the Scatman". Then he says "Why should we be pleasing in the politician heathens Who would try to change the seasons if they could? The state of the condition insults my intuitions And it only makes me crazy and a heart like wood" Which likely refers to politicians not taking those with speech impediments or musicians seriously and how it disheartens him. However, politicians cannot control the seasons, that is controlled by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it revolves around the sun. Then he restates the "Everybody stutters one way or the other So check out my message to you As a matter of fact, I'm letting nothing hold you back If the Scatman can do it, brother, so can you I'm the Scatman" which I have already stated, however I am not his brother. I am not related to him. This is a false statement however if brother is used as a term of endearment, sure! Then he scats! In the second half of verse 2 we get the message "I hear y'all ask 'bout the meaning of scat Well, I'm the professor and all I can tell you is While you're still sleeping, the saints are still weeping 'cause Things you called dead haven't yet had the chance to be born".It is possible he is touching on how scat has two meanings, the singing technique, and fecal matter, however he does not tell us, as the answer is obvious. He then goes on to say how people crush other's artistic inspirations by telling them they can't do what they want or they suck. He then restates his position as the Scatman. Then more scat In the outro, he states he is the scatman, scats some, and then asks? "Where's the Scatman?" to which he then scats and says "I'm the Scatman, repeat after me, It's a scoobie-oobie-doobie, scoobie-doobie melody" and to "sing along with me" He repeats his claim to the throne of the man of scat and then tells the listener to sing along with him and the song ends. Will we ever truly know who is the Scatman?

50 Cent’s Birthday Paradox

In the 2003 hit single “In Da Club” by 50 Cent, he opens the song with “Go Shorty, it’s your birthday. We gon’ party like it’s your birthday. We gon’ sip Bacardi like it’s your birthday. And you know we don’t give a fuck, it’s not your birthday.” How can it both be the birthday of Shorty, the woman mentioned in the song, and not her birthday? I have a few explanations on this. 1. Shorty got into the club using a fake ID that claims it is her birthday, however 50 Cent knows the truth, it is not her birthday, and is only in on the act for her safety. 2. Shorty was born on the 29th of February and her birthday is being celebrated in a non-leap year on the 28th or the 1st of March. 3. She got in to the club on her birthday, however by the time this line is mentioned, midnight has passed and it is no longer her birthday. 4. It is a birthday party not held on Shorty’s birthday. 5. They are simply partying like it is her birthday, with no meaning other than to have fun. 6. Shorty does not celebrate her birthday, but everyone else does. 7. Shorty was never born. I have a few explanations on why they may be celebrating her birthday, she could be 50′s imaginary friend or significant other, an extraterrestrial and they are celebrating her arrival to Earth (its not her birthday on her home planet or they do not do birthdays, or Shorty was part of 50 Cent’s imagination, there is no party, there is no Bacardi, and most importantly: there is no club. However, I have an even better explanation. Shorty could not have a birthday due to being the creator of the universe. Shorty created time, and exists outside of it, and they are partying as a New Year’s celebration and/or estimation of when Shorty created the universe and/or humanity in the faith that Shorty is a deity of, or it could also be the anniversary of Shorty’s physical manifestation on Earth. Regardless, you go Shorty.
