Big Bad Voodoo Daddy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm Mr. White Christmas
I'm Mr. Cool.
I'm Mr. Icicle
I'm Mr. 10 below
Friends call me Snow Miser
Whatever I touch
Turns to snow in my clutch!
I'm too much

He's mister white Christmas
He's mister snow
He's mister icicle
He's mister ten below

Friends call me Snow Miser
Whatever I touch
Turns to snow in my clutch!
I'm too much

I never wanna know a day
That's over 40 degrees.
I'd rather have it 30,20 then 5.
Let It Freeze!

He's mister white Christmas
He's mister snow
He's mister icicle
He's mister ten below
Friends call me Snow Miser
Whatever I touch
Turns to snow in my clutch!
I'm too much

I'm Mr. green Christmas
I'm Mr. Sun.
I'm Mr. Heat Blister
I'm Mr. One Hundred and one
They call me Heat Miser
Whatever I touch
Starts to melt in my clutch.
I'm too much!

He's mister Heat Miser
He's mister sun
He's mister heat blister
He's mister hundred and one

They call me Heat Miser
Whatever I touch
Starts to melt in my clutch.
He's too much

I never wanna know a day
That's under 60 degrees.
I'd rather have it
80, 90, 100 degrees!

(hot chorus)

They call me Heat Miser
Whatever I touch
Starts to melt in my clutch.
I'm too much





Too much!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Mr. Heatmiser" by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy feature a playful contrast between two characters, Snow Miser and Heat Miser, who are each personified as embodiments of winter and summer weather patterns respectively. The Snow Miser describes himself with a sense of confidence and cool demeanor, asserting his power to turn everything he touches into snow. He revels in his uniqueness and coolness, proclaiming himself as "Mr. White Christmas" and "Mr. Cool." In contrast, the Heat Miser is characterized as hot-headed and short-tempered, with a tendency to make things melt when he is too excited or upset. He too boasts about his powers and refers to himself as "Mr. Heat Blister" and "Mr. One Hundred and One."


What's particularly interesting about these lyrics is how they reveal the different emotions and attitudes that people may associate with different seasons or types of weather. The Snow Miser embodies a sense of calm, confidence, and elegance, much like how people might perceive a snowy winter landscape. In contrast, the Heat Miser is fiery and temperamental, much like how people might perceive hot summer days. The song ultimately plays on these stereotypes and the power dynamics between the two characters, utilizing catchy rhythms and witty lyrics to create a fun and lighthearted tune.
