Mr. Vain
Katzmann Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Call him Mr.Raider call him Mr.Wrong
Call him Mr.Vain
Call him Mr.Raider call him Mr.wrong
Call him Mr.vain
He'd say: I know what I want
And I want it now
I want you cause I'm Mr.Vain
I know what I want and I want it now
I want you cause I'm Mr.Vain

Call me Mr.Raider call me Mr.Wrong
Call me insance call me Mr.Vain
Call me what ya like
As long as you call me time and again

Fell the prensence of the aura
Of the man none to compare
Loveless dying
For a just to touch a hand

Or a moment to share
Can't deny the urge thet makes them
Want to lose themselves to the debonair one
Hold me back the simple fact is

That I'm all that and I'm always near
One sexy can't perplex me now
You know who'raw
As if you didn't know before
I know what I want and I want it now
I want you then I want a little more

Call him Mr.Raider call him Mr.Wrong
Call him Mr.Vain
Call him Mr.Raider call him Mr.wrong
Call him Mr.vain
He'd say, I know what I want
And I want it now
I want you cause I'm Mr.Vain
I know what I want and I want it now
I want you cause I'm Mr.Vain

Girls are all over the world
They hope and pray and die for men
Like me cause I'm the one
Begotten son that breaks the mold

Get a look at male epitome
Style has never seen
That makes you want to grab and hold
And squeeze real tight

Whose gonna be the one to save
You from yourself
When you want to take a bite
Please oh baby please

You beg you want to stay
You got to get some caught
Up in the charm that I laid on thick
And now there's nowhere

To run on the hook of my line
Yeah I keep many females




Longing for a chance to win my heart
Whit sex and plenty

Overall Meaning

The song "Mr. Vain" by German project Culture Beat featuring singer Tania Evans was released in 1993 and quickly became an international hit. The upbeat dance track is a blend of Eurodance and techno music, with catchy lyrics that celebrate the singer's self-confidence and sexual allure. The song's repetition of the phrases "Call him Mr. Raider call him Mr.Wrong, Call him Mr.Vain" is an insistent demand for attention and recognition, while the chorus declares "I know what I want and I want it now, I want you cause I'm Mr.Vain".


The verses of the song suggest that the singer has a magnetic charisma that attracts women from all over the world, who are willing to do anything to be with him. He is described as an "epitome" of male style and charm, with an aura that is "loveless dying" to touch. The lyrics play up a sense of danger and unpredictability, with the singer comparing himself to a raider and claiming that he is "insane" and "sexually perplexing". The message of the song is that the singer is so alluring and irresistible that he can make any woman fall for him.


The song's popularity was due in part to its memorable chorus and catchy beat, but it also tapped into a cultural moment when confidence and swagger were seen as desirable traits in pop culture. The 90s was a time when hip hop and R&B were dominated by artists like Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and TLC, who projected a sense of sexual confidence and coolness that resonated with a new generation of fans. "Mr. Vain" was able to tap into that same energy in the Eurodance and techno scene, making it a classic of the era.

Guys, he wrote the song. That kind of gives him the right to cover it in any way he pleases.

@Michal Very well, that's true.
(as a sidenote, shocked to find a 13 year old comment of mine that's not a complete embarrassment)

I found this and thought "wow, here's some guy covering Mr. Vain as a country song and actually making it sound great". Then I hit the comments and discover he's not just "some guy", he's the guy who wrote the song, for Culture Beat. Which I guess kinda makes it not really a cover. Mind = blown.
