(Cantada por Maho)
All we need is
Get into the night
People need it
Get into the night
Let it tha FUNK
We got to move in tha world destruction
Get in tha FUNKY PUNKY!
The song "SLY" by BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad, sung by Maho, appears to be a call to action for the listener to embrace and celebrate music in all its wildness and rawness. The repeated phrase "Get into the night" seems to signify a desire to break free from the mundane realities of everyday life and lose oneself in the thrall of music. The lyrics suggest that music has the power to unite people and overcome barriers of race, class, and culture.
The line "Let it tha FUNK" could be interpreted as a reference to the funk genre of music, known for its groovy and soulful rhythms. The subsequent line "We got to move in tha world destruction" speaks to the idea that music can be transformative and even destructive in the sense that it challenges existing power structures and creates new ones. The phrase "FUNKY PUNKY" seems to combine two seemingly disparate genres of music - funk and punk - to suggest that music has the power to break down boundaries and create a new, hybrid form of expression.
