Hip Hip & Honky Tonk
Cledus T. Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I was born a country boy
Raised on Haggard and Strait
She was born in da hood
The sure looks good
And she thinks rap is great
So we meet in the middle
Together were bad to the bone
Now I'm clogging to Snoop Doggy Dogg
And she's break dancing to Jones
Its hip hop and honky tonk
We can bust a move to a funky groove
Or a hardcore country song
Come on let's throw down
Gonna have a hoedown
Party all night long
Its hip hop and honky tonk
From outlaw country to gangsta rap
Together we's riding home
From Soul Train to Shania Twain
Wes got it going on
Yippie yi yo look at her go
Mama really knocks me out
From Jo Dee Messina to funky cold medina
That's what its all about
It's hip hop and honky tonk
We can bust a move to a funky groove
Or a hardcore country song
Come on lets throw down
Gonna have a hoedown
Party all night long
Its hip hop and honky tonk
Oh we loves the man attraction
any ole dance will do
We like all the Jacksons
Janet, Michael, Tito, Stonewall, Jessie, Reggie, Alan too
Its hip hop and honky tonk
We can bust a move to a funky groove
Or a hardcore country song
Come on lets throw down
Gonna have a hoe down
Party all night long
Its hip hop and honky tonk
It's hip hop and honky tonk
Yeah I want to send out a holler out
To my home boys down there at the
Scully Mully clean up shop
Ya know nails, and crumbling, and woo bow hair
Ya know I love you
Work it Cledus
The lyrics of Cledus T. Judd's song "Hip Hop & Honky Tonk" explore the idea of bringing two seemingly different genres of music together: hip hop and country. The verses describe how the singer, a country boy raised on the likes of Merle Haggard and George Strait, meets a girl from the hood who loves rap. Despite their disparate backgrounds, they find common ground in their shared love of music, and begin dancing together to a hybrid beat of "beat box and a fiddle." The chorus of the song celebrates their unique fusion of styles, and encourages others to join in the fun, whether they prefer "hardcore country" or "funky groove" music.
The song can be seen as a commentary on the power of music to unite people from different cultures and traditions, and the importance of finding commonalities in our differences. It also serves as a celebration of the diverse musical influences that have shaped American culture, from outlaw country to gangsta rap.
