Get On Down
Kenny Dope Gonzalez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I ask myself why
I'm walking in rhythm to a new beat
Must be the look in your eye
Get down
You are my music fill me up
Here I am
Ooh ooh yeah yeah
This is unusual
It's not like me
To be acting this way
I'm talking in riddles and poetry
No one understands what I say
Get down
You are my music fill me up
Here I am
Keep it spinning till we drop
I don't know why I gotta boogie
Could it be your standing by me
Everything I see so shiny now
Get down
You are my music fill me up
Here I am
Keep it spinning till we drop
Ooh ooh yeah yeah
The lyrics to Kenny Dope's "Get on Down" describe how the singer is feeling elated and in sync with the rhythm of the world around them. They attribute this newfound energy to the presence of someone special in their life, whose look and presence fill them with joy and music.

The chorus invites listeners to join in and "get down" with the singer, who sees their companion as the source of their musical and spiritual inspiration. The repetition of the phrase "fill me up" suggests that these feelings are all-consuming and transformative. The song ends on an upbeat note, with the singer acknowledging their own happiness and declaring their intention to keep dancing until they "drop."
Overall, "Get on Down" is an ode to the power of love and human connection to transcend the mundane and elevate us to a new level of experience. The lyrics capture the heady rush of falling for someone and the sense of wonder that can come with being truly present in the moment.

Lately I'm skipping along the street
Recently, I am walking with a spring in my step
And I ask myself why
Wondering why I feel this way
I'm walking in rhythm to a new beat
I am moving in time to a different kind of music
Must be the look in your eye
It seems like the reason for this joy is because of you
Get down
Let's have some fun and dance
You are my music fill me up
You are the one that makes me happy and complete
Here I am
I am ready to dance
Keep it spinning till we drop
Let's dance until we can no longer do it
This is unusual
This is not typical behavior for me
It's not like me
This is different from my usual self
To be acting this way
I am surprised that I am feeling like this
I'm talking in riddles and poetry
I am speaking in a mysterious and artistic way
No one understands what I say
People around me are not able to comprehend my words
I don't know why I gotta boogie
I am not sure why I want to dance
Could it be your standing by me
Maybe it's because of you being here with me
Everything I see so shiny now
I perceive things around me as perfect and bright
Ooh ooh yeah yeah
Expressing joy and happiness

Come on people - if there's no Minnie Riperton (R.I.P.), this track doesn't exist. Give the lady some love!
