Huff + Puff
Just a Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're gonna huff and puff and blow the house down
Tunacome na mastyles hazijaonekana (aha)
Chukua dakika kama tano uite mazimamoto
Ju tumeshika nare
Wakichelewa watapata ju ni moshi imebaki
Ju maji haitoshi kuzima hii beat so smooth
Oh so nice, play it twice, have a good time

Are you ready to disco?
You've gotta give me something and
I'll give you something back
Are you ready to disco?
You've gotta give me something and
I'll give you something back

Give me five, it's good to be alive
The sky, it seems so far away
But we know that we've been to the moon and back
And we're sure that nothing's gonna hold us back
Take it easy, mse shika ndizi
Ye yadu mi chizi, wacha nitulize
Nimejaa points kama porcupine
I need to keep my mind (mind) occupied

Are you ready to disco?
You've gotta give me something and
I'll give you something back
Are you ready to disco?
You've gotta give me something and
I'll give you something back

Oh so nice, play it twice

Oh so nice, play it twice

Oh so nice, play it twice

We're gonna huff and puff and blow the house down
Tunacome na mastyles hazijaonekana (aha)
Chukua dakika kama tano uite mazimamoto
Ju tumeshika nare
Wakichelewa watapata ju ni moshi imebaki
Ju maji haitoshi kuzima hii beat so smooth
Oh so nice, play it twice (twice, twice)
Have a good time
Have a good time
Oh so nice, play it twice
Have a good time

Are you ready to disco?
You've gotta give me something and
I'll give you something back
Are you ready to disco?
You've gotta give me something and
I'll give you something back

Overall Meaning

The song "Huff + Puff" by Just a Band starts with the line "We're gonna huff and puff and blow the house down" - this can be understood as a reference to the popular childhood story of the three little pigs where the wolf huffs and puffs to try and bring the house down. However, in the context of the song, it can also be interpreted as a metaphor for breaking down barriers and stereotypes in the music industry. The lyrics are in both Swahili and English, and this unique mix of languages creates a sense of cultural fusion and celebration of African identity.


The second verse starts with "Are you ready to disco?" which can be interpreted as a call to action for the listener to join in and celebrate with the band. The lyrics emphasize the need for reciprocity and exchange - "You've gotta give me something and I'll give you something back" - possibly alluding to the fact that the band is not just creating music for themselves, but for their listeners as well. The repetition of "oh so nice, play it twice" throughout the song can be seen as a nod to the catchiness and groove of the music.


Overall, "Huff + Puff" is a fun and funky song that celebrates African music and culture while also encouraging active participation and exchange from its listeners.
