Wasabi
Lee Harding Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's just like wasabi
Looks like a barbie
She's just too hot for me
She's like a sunami

Can wipe out an army
With a blink of an eye, she can part the red sea
Drives a yellow ferrari
Wears Nike & Amarni

Her jewellery's all Tiffany's
She hangs out with Arni
Sipps champagne in Pari
But all she ever wants, Is to do it with me

[Chorus]
Wasabi
So damn hot Yeah my head's gonna blow
Wasabi
She's on eleven She can go go go
Whao whao whao

She's organic, Vegan
Eats tofu, no bacon
Every creature's so cute you see
Won't tolerate hate &

No furs and no pagans
Quotes every God, every guru schwarmi
She's wise as Kenobi
Listens to Moby

Every day on her plas TV
Speaks french and malaysian
Scores 100's and a's 'n
All she ever wants Is to do it with me

[Chorus]
Wasabi
So damn hot Yeah my head's gonna blow
Wasabi
She's on eleven She can go go
Wasabi
So damn hot Yeah my head's gonna blow
Wasabi
She's on eleven She can go go go
Whao whao whao

She's just like wasabi
Looks like a barbie
She's just too hot for me
She's like a sunami

Can wipe out an army
With a blink of an eye, she can part the red sea
Flys jets cross the canyon
Sky dives with the band ain't

Your average adrenaline freak
She tightropes niagra
Don't need no viagra
'Cause all she really wants is to do it with me

[Chorus]
Wasabi
So damn hot Yeah my head's gonna blow
Wasabi
She's on eleven She can go
Wasabi
So damn hot Yeah my head's gonna blow
Wasabi




She's on eleven She can go go go
Whao whao whao

Overall Meaning

In Lee Harding's "Wasabi," the singer characterizes the woman he's singing about with the metaphor of a spicy condiment. He compares her to wasabi, saying she's just like it- hot and overwhelming. He also compares her to a Barbie doll, highlighting her looks and her unobtainable status. Harding sings about her appearance, her car (a yellow Ferrari), her designer clothes (Nike and Armani) and her jewelry (all Tiffany's). She's also portrayed as being intelligent, quoting gurus and Gods and getting the highest marks in her academic pursuits. But despite her seemingly perfect life, she's only interested in being with the singer.


This song can be interpreted as either pure admiration or satire. By comparing the woman to wasabi and Barbie, Harding could be making a point about the objectification of women and how women are often reduced to their looks and their ability to please men. At the same time, he could also be expressing his genuine infatuation with this woman and how she's unattainable to him. Either way, the song is an interesting look at how men view and describe women.

If there is an archetype for punk being "just a phase" then Lee Harding is it.

@shanicehedger

It’s 2020 and this song still pops into my head randomly.

@ESPSJ

Whenever I see the word wasabi I think of this song. It's always when I buy sushi and they give me those wasabi satchels I end up singing this song.

@UltraVibeProductions

Let's file this under "Something I completely forgot about yet now remember all too clearly".

@AliceEvelyn93

@Bennyboy1985

This is the most 2006 thing I have ever seen.

2006 was truly a terrible year. It was also the year that Electro House became massive out of nowhere, if there is ever an era I never want to go back to it's then.
