    Bawit... references & lyrics?
    jade says (03 May '11)

    I'll just keep talking about references, lyrics and samples.  these are repeats of FB posts..

     

    Ok, what about references for Bawitdaba? It seems to lift some of its chorus from the classic "Rapper's Delight" by Sugarhill Gang: 
    "I said a hip hop,
    Hippie to the hippie,
    The hip, hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it
    To the bang bang boogie, say, up jump the boogie,"

ok, i looked up what the definition is when you use someones song, and use substitute lyrics.

“Parody” involves using a whole melody from an original song,but with entirely different substitute lyrics.

there are a lot of links about this so i didnt post any, but thats how they define it.

omg, Video! good one!!! I've never heard that version of Blue Moon before, but it sounds pretty clearly connected to me!!! :-) and I didn't know about the piano solo either... I'll see if I can find that as well.

from rolling stone magazine.
"Cowboy" swipes its piano solo from the Doors'"L.A. Woman," while "Bawitdaba" mixes up the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" and the Marcels' "Blue Moon" like it ain't no thing.

i also posted a different link on facebook for you

Oh and maybe the 75% is a bit low even.

If I wanna have a "big head" about it.. Well ahhhhh.... Maybe 85% of the time! lol.

: )

If I remember correctly... I am pretty sure I have either read or heard Kid Rock even talk about this.

Again, if I am remembering correctly but usually I am pretty good at KR trivia if ya will. Not always right but I would give myself a 75% on most things Kid Rock.

Just ask the random girls me and Kev jumped in on at the KR Trivia on the boat. Once we joined in (late by the way) we damn near got every question right! And I even had to go up once and prove Kappy wrong on one question. In which, of course... I WAS RIGHT! Haha.

awesome, I really agree. I got a few people saying not... but I think they're mis-understanding what I mean when I say reference (or "influence") its not a direct sample, but too close for them not to be related.

thanks Romeo!! (where for art thou, Romeo? Deny they father and refuse my name... you know I"ve been dying to do that, right?)
