Basement Jaxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Music is the...
All the ladies everywhere
The countdown is now, twerk something
The lyrics to Basement Jaxx's song "Twerk" are fairly straightforward, as they mainly call for listeners to dance (or "twerk") to the beat of the music. The first line, "Twerk it to the beat, twerk it," is a direct instruction to dance along with the rhythm of the song. The second line is a bit ambiguous, as it cuts off before completing the sentence. However, as the next line mentions "all the ladies everywhere," it can be assumed that the full sentence is something like "Music is the vehicle that brings all the ladies everywhere together to dance and have a good time."
The final line of the excerpt, "The countdown is now, twerk something," adds a sense of urgency to the call to dance. The idea of a countdown suggests that the moment to dance is fleeting and needs to be taken advantage of while it lasts. The instruction to "twerk something" is a more specific call to action, encouraging listeners to engage in the dance move known as twerking.
Overall, the lyrics to "Twerk" are fairly simplistic and repetitive, as the song is mainly designed to get people moving and dancing. However, the catchy beat and fun lyrics make it a popular party anthem.
