Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gracious K's "Migraine Skank" deals with the 'migraine skank' dance, a simple dance that the artist encourages people to try out. The song is asking individuals to showcase their dance moves, as they skank with two hands on their heads, and moves their hands and feet rhythmically. The singer wants to witness the dance moves, and the lyrics provide an explanation of how to do the migrain skank. The song encourages people to be active, get down, and enjoy the music.


The migrain skank is a simple dance that can be done by anyone, and the song tries to emphasize that anyone can do it. The migrain skank dance style is an example of the Jamaica dancehall or reggae dance style that has, over time, become popular in the UK. The song is an excellent example of an 'infamous' London grime scene from the late 2000s that utilized Jamaican-influenced music and dance, which became famous for its fun, uncomplicated, and undemanding dance routines. The dance is characterized by the four beats in each bar. The gravitational movements are rhythmic and often associated with the two hands held up to the head that can signify a headache (hence the term "migraine").
