Shut Up and Dance
JME Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listening to Plasticman
'Cause this is the Plasticman j-m-e
And Plasticman it's Plasticman
Spinning the Plasticman plasticman
Spinning the Plasticman plasticman
Spinning the Plasticman yo
Dance
It's not about shanks all the time
Grab a girl and skank from behind
Everybody thinks to MC good
Your lyrics must be about livin' in the 'hood
Causin a racket, causin a noise
Not enough females, too many boys
Just dance on your heel and toe
Dance 'till you get an A-S-B-O
Put your hands at eye level
Elbows out, but be careful
Move 'em up and down with your knees
And lean forward 20 degrees and dance
And move to the beat and dance
And move to the beat and dance
And move to the beat and dance
And move to the beat and dance
I don't care what you think
If you can't dance, go have a drink
Plasticman's giving you the chance
Everybody please, shutup and dance
I don't care what you think
If you can't dance, go have a drink
Plasticman's giving you the chance
Everybody please, shutup and dance and dance
And move and dance
And move and dance
And move and dance
And move and dance
And move and dance
And move and dance
And move and dance
And move and dance
Take a rest
Cause sweats coming through your dress
Gather all your friends and find
Your way to the bar, it's beverage time
Get drunk on Stellas, Red Stripes or the ones
With umbrellas
Don't worry if you can't drink more
Find your way back to the dancefloor
Put your hands at eye level
Elbows out, but be careful
Move 'em up and down with your knees
And lean forward 20 degrees and dance
And move to the beat and dance
And move to the beat and dance
And move to the beat and dance
And move to the beat and dance
I don't care what you think
If you can't dance, go have a drink
Plasticman's giving you the chance
Everybody please, shutup and dance
I don't care what you think
If you can't dance, go have a drink
Plasticman's giving you the chance
Everybody please, shutup and dance and dance
And move and dance
And move and dance
And move and dance
And move and dance
And move and dance
And move and dance
And move and dance
And move and dance
Be careful who you chat to on the e mail
It's a picture of a girl, but it's a shemale
I don't care if you're Samantha mumba
I still won't give out my number
Only if I see her chest and bumper live
Or on the web camera
If I want to, I'll give out my O2
If she's older, I'll give out my Voda
See I got bare phones, I take the mick
I still don't know what Facebook is
I'm messing about, talk to me
I'll be on MSN, about quarter to 3
It's Jamie, add my Hotmail
Girls on MSN think I'm a hot male
What, you think I can't get girls?
Haha, very funny, L-O-L
I don't care what you think
If you can't dance, go have a drink
Plasticman's giving you the chance
Everybody please, shutup and dance
I don't care what you think
If you can't dance, go have a drink
Plasticman's giving you the chance
Everybody please, shutup and dance
Put your hands at eye level
Elbows out, but be careful
Move 'em up and down with your knees
And lean forward 20 degrees and dance
And move to the beat and dance
And move to the beat and dance
And move to the beat and dance
And move to the beat and dance
The lyrics to JME's song "Shut Up and Dance" seem to be a playful and light-hearted call to action for listeners to let loose and enjoy themselves on the dance floor. The repeated mention of "Plasticman" refers to JME himself, using it as a nickname or alter ego. The song encourages people to put aside their worries and inhibitions, and simply dance to the beat.
The lyrics also touch on the idea that being a skilled MC or rapper doesn't necessarily mean only focusing on harsh or tough topics. JME suggests that it's not necessary to always rap about violence or aggression, but instead encourages MCs to have fun and create lyrics that reflect the joy and freedom of dancing. He mentions that there may be a disproportionate number of boys to girls at the dance, indicating a desire for more inclusivity and a diverse crowd.
Throughout the song, JME details specific dance instructions, emphasizing the importance of putting your hands at eye level, moving your elbows out, and using your knees to create a specific dance move. The repetition of "and move to the beat and dance" reinforces the message that dancing is the main focus.
Overall, "Shut Up and Dance" appears to be a fun and energetic anthem, urging listeners to let go of their inhibitions and enjoy the experience of dancing freely.
