Watusi
Move, Groove, and Bump: Unveiling the Dance of Liberation in King Whisker's Watusi
Lyrics
People they talk
People engage in conversation
When they talk they don't move much
Conversation lacks physical expression
So I got a bus
Decided to take a bus
And I called up a bunch of my friends
Contacted friends, possibly with a rebellious or mischievous nature
Nogoodnicks, real bastards
Referring to friends as troublemakers or rebels
Yeah we started shooting
Engaged in shooting the breeze or casual talk
About this and that
Discussing various topics
And as a matter of fact
Suggesting a state of intoxication
I think we were all pretty wasted
Most likely everyone was intoxicated
Except for the bus driver, man, he was straight
The bus driver was sober
Now I forgot who said it
Reference to a statement, speaker forgot details
And maybe the Barons said it best
The Barons may have expressed a similar idea
When they said -
Indicating a quote or statement
They said… Ah shit I don't remember
Memory lapse, unable to recall the exact words
Just move they said!
Encouragement to keep moving
Do the Frug
Reference to a dance called the Frug
Do the Watusi
Encouragement to do the Watusi dance
Do the shang-a-lang
Reference to another dance, the shang-a-lang
Do the Watusi
Repeat of the encouragement to do the Watusi
Do the Double Decker Bus!
Instruction to perform the Double Decker Bus dance
Do the Watusi
Repeat of the encouragement to do the Watusi
Yeah, do the Frug
Specifically mentioning the Frug dance again
Do the Watusi
Encouragement to do the Watusi dance
Well people are people
General statement about people
That's a matter of fact
Emphasizing the factual nature of the statement
But when people start moving
People improve when they start moving
They start to become better people
Physical movement contributes to personal development
That's science, Jack, real knowledge!
Asserting the scientific validity of the idea
Yeah people start moving
Reiterating the positive impact of movement
And then they start grooving
Connecting movement to grooving or dancing
And sooner or later
Implies a progression of positive change
They're bumpin around like sand in the ocean
Describes people moving freely, like sand in the ocean
Blood on the Sea!
Mention of blood on the sea, possibly metaphorical
Well I forgot who said it
Reference to a previous statement, details forgotten
But maybe the Barons said it best
Quoting the Barons again
When they said
Another instance of quoting, details unclear
Oh shit I don't remember
Memory lapse followed by recollection
Oh yes I do
Acknowledgment of remembering the details
Just move they said
Reiteration of the advice to keep moving
Do the Frug
Instruction to do the Frug dance
Do the Watusi
Encouragement to do the Watusi dance
Do the shang-a-lang
Reference to the shang-a-lang dance again
Do the Watusi
Repeat of the encouragement to do the Watusi
Do the Double Decker Bus!
Instruction to perform the Double Decker Bus dance
Do the Watusi
Repeat of the encouragement to do the Watusi
Yeah, do the Frug
Specifically mentioning the Frug dance again
Do the Watusi
Final encouragement to do the Watusi dance
