Keep Up (x4)

Wait girl not so fast
Slow it down now make it last
I've been chasin you all night
Dancin to the song like
Move, your body to the beat
Shes a freak like
Imma Imma freak Imma Imma freak freak feak
Yup girl why you teasing me
Just peep the scenery
Im so ill at movin my feet
That i dont even need a beat

Can you keep up
With my body movin back and forth like speakers
When im dancin you can barely see my sneakers
Can you spin me like a record
Spin me like a record
Record, record (x2)

Can you keep up
Go, go, go, go (x2)

Okay, keep coming around my way
Boy you like how my nails are painted
Grab me by the waist and move
If you see me flyin past ya
Its just because im faster
Im waiting so come capture me
If you got those speakers blastin
Got moves like michael jackson
Then show me your a dancin machine ma-chine

Can you keep up
With my body movin back and forth like speakers
When im dancin you can barely see my sneakers
Can you spin me like a record
Spin me like a record
Record, record

Can you keep up
Go, go, go, go (x2)

Stop chick not so quick
The Donny pull out, look at my oh!
It's true, I'm a maniac and I'm bringin' the 80s back
And all these ladies attack me when I bring 'em to the sack
My style, my sway, the way that I walk and keep up with my pave, come play
As I bend over and tighten my shoelace
See you do a double take, see you do a double take, take, take, take take

Can you keep up
With my body movin back and forth like speakers
When im dancin you can barely see my sneakers
Can you spin me like a record




Spin me like a record
Record, record (x2)

Overall Meaning

"Keep Up" by Hyper Crush is a fast-paced, high-energy dance song that's all about being able to keep up with each other's moves on the dance floor. The song starts off with the rapper telling the girl to slow down and make the night last longer. He's been chasing her all night, dancing to the beat, and he wants her to keep up with him because he's a freak who can dance without even needing a beat. He challenges her to keep up with his body moving back and forth like speakers and to spin him like a record on the turntable.


Then the girl takes the lead and challenges the rapper to keep up with her because she's faster than him. She asks him to grab her by the waist and move, telling him that if he can keep up with her moves, he can capture her. She's got moves like Michael Jackson and wants to see if he can keep up with her dancing machine skills. The two playfully challenge each other on the dance floor, seeing who can spin the other like a record and move their bodies to the beat.


In the last verse, the rapper talks about his style and how he's bringing the 80s back with his maniac dance moves that attract all the ladies. He tells the girl to come play with him and watch as he bends over to tighten his shoelace, causing her to do a double take. The song ends on a high note, with the two dancing together and challenging each other to keep up with their moves.

I wish Hyper Crush would make another album like The Arcade!  This era was the perfect blend of eighties new wave with modern dance/electronic music.

ElectricYoshiHD

Me too !!!!

Higher Standards

I wonder what amount of money is to get them to do another album? Or what connection they need to get it accomplished. I work at the top of the entrainment industry and would die to help with anything.

I continue to be amazed at their high production value despite their not being known to the greater public. I don't know how they do it but they are amazing.
