This hit, that ice cold

Overall Meaning

The song "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars is a catchy, danceable track with a retro feel that harkens back to the funk and soul music of the 70s and 80s. The opening lines declare "This hit, that ice cold, Michelle Pfeiffer, that white gold," which may be a reference to Pfeiffer's role as Elvira Hancock in the 1983 film Scarface, in which she wore a white outfit and played a glamorous, wealthy woman. The lines that follow praise "hood girls" and "good girls" alike, celebrating their style and confidence as "masterpieces" and declaring that they're "stylin', wilin', livin' it up in the city." The chorus repeatedly urges listeners to "hit your hallelujah" and dance, as "uptown funk gon' give it to you."


The song's verses contain a series of vivid and somewhat nonsensical images that add to the party atmosphere: the singer is "too hot" and calls for the police and fire department, while also making dragons want to retire. There's a reference to Julio (perhaps a bartender or friend who's riding with the singer in a stretch limo) and a shout-out to different cities, from Harlem to Jackson, Mississippi, that will get "smoothed out" by the singer's arrival. The song ends with a repeated chant of "Uptown funk you up" that further cements the track's dance and party-ready mood.

Michael Jackson would be proud of that boy

@ren2070

Alan Freeman mark or bruno?

@writingforfun6849

Saulo Verdezoto Bruno. The one that obviously tries to dance/act in a Michael Jackson way. I like the way he dances. But I just don't feel like he is nearly as good. He's a fake.

@ren2070

Alan Freeman well only thing we can do is enjoy him while we still have him
