Mixed Bizness
Cornelius Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm mixing business with leather
Christmas with Heather
Freaks flock together
And make all the be-boys scream

All right
Turn it up now
All right
Turn it up now

Word up to the man thing
She's always cold lamping
Visine at the canteen
I just want to watch you dance

Do you want to ride on the Baltic Sea
I'll be your mistress C.O.D.
I'll comb your hair
Re-write your diary
Pour champagne on a honey bee

She can really do me
She can look right through me
And make all the be-boys scream

I'm mixing fitness with leather
Homework with Heather
Freaks flock together
And make all the lesbians scream

All right
Turn it up now




All right
Turn it up now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Mixed Bizness" by Cornelius / Beck showcases the mixing of opposing elements such as business and leather, Christmas and Heather, fitness and leather and homework and Heather. The lyrics go on to mention "freaks" who "flock together" and do things that make "all the be-boys" and "lesbians" scream. These lyrics seem to be promoting unconventional behavior and mixing of ideas while also showing love for the subversive and non-conformist.


One interpretation of these lyrics could be that the song is about breaking free from societal expectations and norms, and embracing one's own unique identity. The mix of contrasting elements could represent a rejection of binary thinking and the idea that we have to choose one thing over another. Additionally, the emphasis on "freaks" coming together and making people scream may suggest a celebration of the strange, the weird, and the unconventional.


Interestingly, the lyrics also reference specific things like Visine eye drops, the Baltic Sea, and pouring champagne on a honey bee. These quirky details could be interpreted as further evidence of the singer's love for the strange and unusual.
