The lyrics of Girl Talk's song "Hands in the Air" are a mashup of various famous hip-hop and pop songs from the past few decades. The song opens with a sample from Tag Team's hit song "Whoomp! There It Is!" which invites the party people to make some noise and jump around. The familiar lyrics of "Whoomp! There It Is!" add to the festive and energetic mood of the song. The line "These three words mean you're gettin' busy" is a direct reference to Tag Team's song since it can be heard in the chorus of "Whoomp! There It Is!".
The song then goes on to sample other well-known songs such as Bambaataa's "Planet Rock," Sean Kingston's "Love Me," Flo-Rida's "Low," and even Michael Jackson's famous chant from "Wanna Be Starting Something" - "Ma Ma Se, Ma Ma Sa, Ma Ma Coo Sa." The lyrics are interspersed with calls to put one's hands up and jump around, ensuring that the song has an infectious beat that encourages people to dance and party all night.
Overall, "Hands in the Air" is a high-energy, dance-pop track that seamlessly blends together different musical styles and genres. The lyrics are intentionally simplistic and repetitive, making them easy to remember and sing along to.
