King Kong
Bow Wow Wow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
His heart's still pumping, his blood's still running
King Kong, the king is here
With King Kong I'm bored with King Kong's fear, he's driving a hard bargain
King Kong, he's like your caveman, he eats money for you
King Kong throughout the day, on Monday, on Tuesday, on Wednesday, on Thursday
His eyes are still hungry, he's jumping, shouting
Tell everyone King Kong is here
King Kong king, the king is strong
He won't stop killing until you're willing, King Kong, the king is strong
I understand King Kong, he's outrageous
He's frightening, he starts some lightning, he likes machinery and refineries
Always on Fridays and then, he loves them to live in, to eat in, to kill in
His eyes are now bulging, indulging, love making
Tell everyone King Kong is here
Somedays on Saturdays when, we buy him some towers, not flowers or trousers
His eyes are now showers, his groping got power
Tell everyone King Kong is here
King Kong's around again, on Monday, on Tuesday, on Wednesday, on Thursday
His eyes are still hungry, he's jumping, he's shouting
Tell everyone King Kong is here
The lyrics to Bow Wow Wow's song "King Kong" are about the titular fictional giant ape that is a cultural icon. The song starts with the repeated line "King Kong, King Kong, I don't think clear," which suggests a sense of confusion or disorientation surrounding the creature. The next line is "His heart's still pumping, his blood's still running," which hints at his vitality despite his larger-than-life existence.
The song then goes on to describe King Kong as being boring and driven by fear, while also possessing strange and powerful appetites, such as devouring money and loving machinery and refineries. The repeated refrain of "Tell everyone King Kong is here" gives a sense of urgency and excitement around the creature's presence. The final verse likens the singer to King Kong, suggesting a sense of shared strength and defiance.
Overall, the lyrics to "King Kong" can be interpreted as a fun and playful tribute to the iconic creature, playing on his various attributes and cultural significance.
