The lyrics to Prodigy's song "Charly" might initially seem nonsensical or abstract, but upon closer examination, they reveal a playful representation of a repetitive and simple musical experience. The repeated phrases "little bit of base" and "little bit of raas" serve as rhythmic elements that create a catchy and infectious beat. These lines convey the essence of the music itself, highlighting the importance of a strong bassline and energetic rhythm in creating an enjoyable listening experience.
The inclusion of "Mummy says: raas" and "Mummy says: base" adds a whimsical and childlike touch to the lyrics. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the influence that parental figures or caretakers have on shaping one's taste in music and introducing them to different genres or styles. The repetition of these lines suggests the idea that these musical elements are inherent and fundamental, like a mother's guidance.
The use of "miaow" adds a playful and lively element to the lyrics. The sound of a meowing cat serves as an unconventional and unexpected insertion, possibly representing the unpredictable and spontaneous nature of music itself. It could also be seen as an embodiment of the joy and excitement that can be experienced while listening to music.
Overall, the lyrics to "Charly" by Prodigy can be seen as a reflection of the pure and immediate pleasure one can find in music. The repetition of simple phrases, the inclusion of maternal guidance, and the unexpected "miaow" all contribute to the energetic and vibrant atmosphere of the song, highlighting the joyous essence of the musical experience.

@Prelude_Si
STILL blasting this in 2023! I started listening to Prodigy during the Bosnian war in 1992 as a teenager, and here is a little Prodigy related anecdote from the war later on, in 1993... During the siege of Sarajevo I lived right at the front lines, and late at night, Serbian soldiers would sing their old folk and "Chetnik" songs driving us nuts, so we went around for days collecting car batteries from damaged cars, speakers and sound systems from destroyed cars and apartments, and we put together a loud system with multiple speakers in 4 different apartments in a destroyed building (in the part of Sarajevo we called "Little Hiroshima" due to the scale of destruction). The only albums we had were Prodigy's Experience, Metallica by Metallica, Guns N Roses' Use Your Illusion, and a couple of Yugo rock albums. So when they start singing that caveman stuff, we would blast Prodigy's Experience as loud as possible, shutting them up. 😊 Unfortunately, car batteries get drained quickly, so we had a badly damaged Opel hatchback with a solid little engine that we started whenever we had some fuel to burn (we used oil from old machines too) just to charge the batteries.
Been blasting it ever since! 💪
RIP Keith
