Using context clues, we can surmise that “donkey kong” is some sort of variation on the loathsome, totally-made-up sex act known as the donkey punch. Let’s ignore the chunky Coca-Cola for a second and focus on the second line. I’m sorry I ever doubted you, buddy.Īll I need is some vodka and some chunka coke But, upon Googling “Tonka,” I learned that the company takes its name from an Indian word for “great” or “large.” Clearly, Pitbull just slipped into Dakota-Sioux for a second. Telling a lady that she has an ass like a Tonka truck means that her curves are 1/16 scale.
It makes smaller versions of the real thing, which is the exact opposite metaphor one should be invoking when rapping about asses. You know what? I was going to jump all over Pitbull for this one. He talks about how he prefers napping when he ain’t rapping, which, incidentally, is a better rhyme than “snooze” and “confused.” If I were Pitbull, I’d want to back up that boast with some pretty potent rhymes that twist the meanings of words in unexpected ways. I don’t play no games so don’t get it confused, noĬomparing your rapping to one of the most successful mind-fucks in recent memory–that’s a bold statement. I’m like ‘Inception,’ I play with your brain This song has lost a lot of its appeal already. I had to locate the long version of the song-the introduction has been mostly excised from the single edit/official video-to figure out that Pitbull is using the Spanish/Cuban slang word dalé, meaning “let’s go” or “do it,” not ordering somebody named Dale to start dancing and, ideally, inspire the entire world to follow suit. This is exactly how the opening lyrics are transcribed on several sites. Also: “La la la la la la la la la la la la la la.” The general idea: The dance floor is an ideal place to do some dancing. 5 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

You know what this video really needs? More blatant product placement. American Idol also provided a platform to debut the single's music video, as well as the stage for Lopez's first live performance of the song.In this new feature, I’ll be examining the lyrics to a current Top 10 hit in excruciating detail for no reason other than to mock it.
JENNIFER LOPEZ ON THE FLOOR LYRICS TV
The debut and release of "On the Floor" coincided with Lopez's appointment as a judge on the tenth season of US reality TV show American Idol, as well as several other product endorsement deals. Lopez described "On the Floor" as an evolution of her classic sound and as something which sounded very current. Interpolated within the song are recurrent elements of the 1982 Bolivian composition "Llorando se fue" written by Gonzalo and Ulises Hermosa, a composition that gained notoriety when it was sampled by Kaoma in their 1989 single "Lambada". Its development was motivated by Lopez's Latin heritage and pays homage to her career-beginnings as a dancer. Lopez recorded a Spanish-language version of the song titled "Ven a Bailar" (English: "Come to Dance"), which includes additional lyrical contributions from Julio Reyes Copello and Jimena Romero. "On the Floor" incorporates elements of electro house and draws further musical influences from eurodance, Latin music and techno music. It is an up-tempo electro-house and dance-pop song with a common time tempo of 130 beats per minute. "On the Floor" was written by Kinnda "Kee" Hamid, AJ Junior, Teddy Sky, Bilal "The Chef" Hajji, Pitbull, Gonzalo Hermosa, Ulises Hermosa, along with the song's producer RedOne. Featuring American rapper Pitbull, it was released by Island Records on Februas the lead single from the album.
"On the Floor" is a song recorded by American singer Jennifer Lopez for her seventh studio album, Love? (2011).
