Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm turnin' on that tunnel vision
Yeah the radio's on but I ain't even listenin'
'Cause baby I've got tunnel vision
All your girls are at home gettin' all dolled up
Callin', wonderin' if you're gonna roll
All my boys are like "there's a party goin' on"
Blowin' up my phone
Pop a top, raise a little hell
Drink another drop of liquor on the shelf
But it's all yada yada yada
Baby 'cause I got ya
Take that purse, drop it on the floor
'Cause you and me ain't got nowhere to go
All I need you got a lot of
Yada yada yada
Don't need the bright lights, no Jack, no Coke
Just give me you and the way you move, baby that's all she wrote
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Nah you didn't get dressed up for nothin'
I'm pretty sure we can think of somethin', somethin'
A little time with you is all I've been wantin'
Nah you didn't get dressed up for nothin'
Pop a top, raise a little hell
Drink another drop of liquor on the shelf
But it's all yada yada yada
Baby 'cause I got ya
Take that purse, drop it on the floor
'Cause you and me ain't got nowhere to go
All I need you got a lot of
Yada yada yada
Don't need the bright lights, no Jack, no Coke
Just give me you and the way you move, baby that's all she wrote
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
All your girls are at home gettin' all dolled up
Callin', wonderin' if you're gonna roll
All my boys are like "there's a party goin' on"
Blowin' up my phone
Pop a top, raise a little hell
Drink another drop of liquor on the shelf
But it's all yada yada yada
Baby 'cause I got ya
Take that purse, drop it on the floor
'Cause you and me ain't got nowhere to go
All I need you got a lot of
Yada yada yada
Don't need the bright lights, no Jack, no Coke
Just give me you and the way you move, baby that's all she wrote
Oh oh

The song "Yada Yada Yada" by Brandon Lay is a party anthem, perfect for a Friday night. The song describes driving to the girl's house, who has been getting ready all night with her friends for a party, but the singer doesn't care about any of that because he's only interested in spending time with her. He's not bothered about the radio, the party, the alcohol, or anything else, it's just about her. The singer emphasizes this sentiment by repeating the phrase “yada yada yada” which means “so on and so forth” or something that bores you.
The chorus puts an emphasis on the carefree attitude of the singer towards the party: he enjoys the party, but only as a means of being close to the girl. Interestingly, the music video for the song (directed by Shaun Silva), features the artist playing at a big house party, surrounded by his friends, and the girl in question of the lyrics also appears in the video, suggesting that partying with her is all that’s important to him.
The repetition of the phrase “yada yada yada” shows how unimportant everything else is to the singer; he just wants to spend time with his girl, regardless of what is going on around him. The song’s insistent, energetic music helps to convey the excitement and joy of the party atmosphere. The song is a perfect weekend anthem, urging the listener to have a good time while reminding them what’s truly important.

This song is incredible. I first heard it this morning on Go Country 105.1 in Los Angeles. While I love the original with female backup vox, the stripped version is also amazing. Congrats! ❤️

Can’t help but say that I love every song of yours so far! You have great potential in your music and I bet you will go far. Is there a video that shows the guitar tutorials for all your songs? I’d love to learn them all on acoustic.

I love this song, and I wish I could've seen you when you played here in Chattanooga, but I didn't have a ride to the venue. Keep doing what you do, because it's awesome.
