Feed you with a spood
Wrap you in toilet paper
And kick you to the moon
Roll call (x4)
If you're a jock inflict some pain
If you're a nerd then use you brain
If you're a prep go buy some clothes
If you're a loser go pick your nose
The D to the A to the P
To the H to the N to the E
To the see to the E
To the L to the E




To the S to the T
To the E Roll call!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Daphne & Celeste's Roll Call are a tongue-in-cheek call to attention and assertion of their own superiority. The chorus introduces the roll call with the repetitive use of "Shhh Boom" which suggests that listeners should pay attention to what is about to be said. Following this, the two singers introduce themselves, with Celeste declaring herself to be the best and Daphne calling herself the bomb. Both assert their dominance and warn against any attempts to "dis" them.


The middle section of the song contains a string of nonsense phrases followed by a series of conditional statements that suggest that if the listener were something else (e.g. feet or mocking), they would be below Daphne and Celeste. The final section reinforces the duo's confidence and superiority, using the letters of their name to spell out various words associated with success and power ("big," "bad," "boss"). The Shimmy Shimmy dance is then introduced, followed by a section where they insult the listener's band and issue threats. The song concludes with a final roll call and another declaration of supremacy.

actual fact: the entire album was recorded and reddy to go (sans vocals) before D&C"won the audition" were hired on. back in the myspace days i once was contacted by the woman (a woman!) who produced and wrote the entire album...wow. most of the album was brilliant pop music and i have no idea why anyone outside of heavy metal mooks would diss it.

RachelMarie18

i <3 this song

Tiberius Rewritten

I miss the early 2000s.

Alona Palos

They got a lot of discrimination because people thought they were promoting bullying with UGLY and got bottled at a concert for being too "pop", so they disbanded and their record label fell apart. It's sad. :( But I read that they're both acting on television and off-Broadway now, somewhat successfully, too.

Chelsea

yeah its cheesy and shocking, but it brings back good memories :)

sato

I cant believe I actually like this music XD

Kiggidisvawgegawgin

@squarebubblex well one of the easier things to do is to go to google and type in youtube to mp3 converter and then just copy and paste the youtube song into the converter and it will be an mp3. I've gotten lots of songs this way. P.S. for some reason any mp3 made in this way only last about an hour or so but if you sync it to whatever device your using it will last forever. Have a good day :)

Kaceylee Johnston

Yasmin Solomon

I love the ending to this song when it says California oranges Texas cactus we think your band needs alot of practise we will sit you in a high chair feed you with a spoon wrap you in toilet paper and kick you to the Moon.
