The meaning of the song seems quite clear: Though I'm a cute little ghetto grrrl i can still be a hell of a dj. And that's when your macho prejudices break up like box in lox.
Being an 80s kid i really do like the instrumental being borrowed from Echo Beach..everyone samples tracks nowadays...my only greivance is that they didnt incorporate the Sax solo into it...
Yikes. This is on par with Vanilla Ice for heavy handed lifting--it's not sampling at all, it's just nicking the original and adding rather lame lyrics. Just hope Martha and the Muffins are getting paid for having their song used.
So, check out the original--why didn't she just cover it? Honestly, no one under 35 remembers it--and lyrically it's much better...but gosh those whao-ohs are rather inspired, right?
Lady Gaga is not "in league" with MPHO. Lady gaga is a socialite. A wannabe artsy chick... and her lyrics and style are generic as all hell... Just had to get that outta the way.
Gwen Stefania has class and tends to sing about more real shit... In the early days. But with all artists they turn "Hollywood" and it all goes down from there.
I know but I just think it was kind of a copy. I just prefer to see originality in videos, especially when the song is good. It just disappoints me otherwise. . =/
Omg sounds like some commenters are racists? I liked the song. I mean parlophone has mostly indie and brit pop, so how about only watching parlophone videos if you like this kind of genre?
racists? why? but i do listen parlophone's stuff, it's genious, that's how i know this song! i love youtube =D and parlophone ofcourse, and everything, it's just great.
heard it on the thing glotonbury 2009 or something like that. i didnt actually go to it but i want to so much but not be trampled to death.
