Super skank
Sir Oliver Skardy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pace fatta tra jazzisti e funk, super skank
Metter d'accordo rappers e punk, super skank
Rockettari, salseri, frutti misti
Senatori, deputati e ministri
Tutto rigorosamente sotto banc, super skank
Superstar, supertop, Sandokan, super skank
Speedy Gonzales, Paperoga, Tarzan, super skank
Gorilla e immacolati cherubini
Tutto rigorosamente sotto banc, super skank
Supermercato globale
A chi fa tanto bene, a chi fa tanto male
Quelli malati quelli, con le tasche piene
Sotto banco tutto quel che fa più bene
Refrain: Super skank, super skank, super skank,
Tutto rigorosamente sotto banc, super skank
Galileo, Menelik, Jengis Kan, super skank
Leonardo, Freud, Einstain, super skank
Cineasti, piloti, surfisti
Bill Clinto, Monica Le Whisky
Tutto rigorosamente sotto banc, super skank
Dei reality show siamo stank, super stank
Di chi maltratta entreneuse, frick e trans, super stank
Super stanki del ghetto morale
Del così, o ti faccio tanto male
Dei prepotenti che la fanno sempre frank, super stank
Supermercato globale
A chi fa tanto bene, a chi fa tanto male
Quelli malati quelli, con le tasche piene
Sotto banco tutto quel che fa più bene
Non posso fare il sentimentale
Se il ladro vive bene e l'onesto vive male
Artisti, scienziati, pacifisti
Per loro è questa la lista dei teppisti?
Refrain:
The lyrics of Sir Oliver Skardy's song "Super Skank" celebrate the fusion of different music styles and cultures through an imaginary setting where everyone is united by the groove. The song mentions jazz and funk musicians, rappers, punks, rockers, salsa dancers, politicians, diplomats, businessmen, and even cartoon characters, showing how music can transcend social and cultural boundaries. The phrase "tutto rigorosamente sotto banc" (everything strictly under the counter) suggests that this eclectic mix of people and influences is not necessarily sanctioned by official institutions or mainstream culture, but rather exists in the margins, in the underground, where creativity and rebellion thrive.
However, the song also acknowledges that not everything under the counter is positive or ethical. The "supermercato globale" (global supermarket) alludes to the idea of a world where everything is commodified and traded, from goods to ideas, from feelings to bodies. The lyrics mention "chi fa tanto bene, a chi fa tanto male" (those who do good and those who do harm), implying that the same underground channels that enable artistic and cultural exchange can also perpetuate injustice and exploitation. The phrase "dei prepotenti che la fanno sempre frank" (of the bullies who always get away with it) highlights the contrast between those who enjoy privilege and power and those who are marginalized and oppressed.
