Smack My Bitch Up
Richard Cheese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said, change my pitch up, smack my bitch up
Thank you ladies and gentlemen
I'd like to introduce a little thing I like to call the band
Let's start with the man behind the piano
He's a maestro, a master, a man of many melodies
Including the Melody who's the hostess of the Daily Grill
If you lose your keys, he can find them
He's a prodigy, as in psychosomatic-addict insane
He's sitting on his stool, Bobby Ricotta
Thank you, Bobby
And now on bass, he's high-strung
He's a stand-up guy, he's in an upright and locked position
He knows the basic programming language
He's the low man on the totem pole
He's Deep Gordon Brie
Danke, Gordon
And now on drums, on skins, on the trap-set
The cocktail kit, the thing you that you hit with the thingies
He's a slick click to pick with a stick
He's back with another one of them block-rockin' beats
His middle name is Tom
He's "cymbal-ic," we're talking "brush with greatness"
He likes to bang the drum slowly if you know what I mean, and I think you do
Am I right, pepole
Mr. Bobby Gouda
Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up
Change my pitch up, smack, bitch, up
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up
Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up
Ouch!
The lyrics of Richard Cheese's "Smack My Bitch Up" seem to be controversial and offensive at first glance, but upon further analysis, they can be viewed as an ironic critique of the misogynistic attitude present in some aspects of contemporary culture. The phrase "smack my bitch up" is jarring and offensive, but it's the repetition of the phrase and the addition of the line "change my pitch up" that indicates a layer of commentary. The phrase "change my pitch up" is often used in music production to alter the pitch and tone of a vocal performance, and it could be viewed as a metaphor for the way society has altered and distorted its views on women over time. By coupling this phrase with the offensive language, the song could be seen as a call to society to change its tune and reconsider its attitudes towards women.
The lyrics also contain several references to cheesy lounge music culture, including the use of specific types of cheese as names for the band members. The lines "He's a maestro, a master, a man of many melodies / Including the Melody who's the hostess of the Daily Grill / If you lose your keys, he can find them" could be interpreted as a parody of the exaggerated and over-the-top introductions given by lounge singers. The repetition of the word "Danke" when introducing the bass player is also a nod to the German roots of many lounge standards.
Overall, "Smack My Bitch Up" is a complex and controversial song that requires careful analysis to fully understand. While the use of offensive language is challenging, the song could be seen as a commentary on the attitudes towards women present in contemporary culture, as well as a tongue-in-cheek parody of lounge music culture.

Splendid,. Crooning is excellent and an entertaining lounging performance. I remember when I learnt the BASIC programming language too, this rings bells in several pitches. Grand
