La Di Da
The Internet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I move like the silent g in designer
Real talk, something to say
My groove right, I might snatch up your wife
Smooth like it's nothin' to me
Get out my way, talk if you wanna
Me, I'mma gonna peace
I'm a hard act to follow, keep up your aura
Move your feet, enjoy my sweet soirée
Look at me, I'm so suave
Dancing like your name shawty
Hey, why you so worried 'bout me?
No, no, no sir, not today

I just came to dance
Wanna move
I can't with you
Sayin' la di da, la di da
Said, I'm try'na dance
Catch your groove
But not with you
We go la di da, la di da

I'm draped in designer, wage with the lineup
Face it, I'm out of your league
No, I'm right beside you, talk, I ain't try'na
Get back, I'm rollin' away
All in my face, chat with you later
Go find your posse, please
I'ma smooth operator, no, I'm your favorite
But let me enjoy my sweet soirée
Sorry that I'm so blasé
Why are you dancin' like your name Sade?
Hey, why you so worried 'bout me?
I said no sir, not today

I just came to dance
Wanna move
I can't with you
Sayin' la di da, la di da
Said, I'm try'na dance
Catch your groove
But not with you
We go la di da, la di da
I just came to dance
I Wanna move
I can't with you
Sayin' la di da, la di da
Said, I'm try'na dance
Catch your groove
Not with you
We go la di da, la di da

Wait
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies
Please
There's enough me to go around
I don't bite
Oh me? You already know what it is
To be honest, all I really wanna do is take you to the bridge

Dance

Overall Meaning

In The Internet's "La Di Da," the singer exudes confidence and self-assurance on the dance floor. He moves like the silent "g" in "designer," suggesting a certain grace and elegance to his movements. He has something to say and a groove that can snatch up anyone's wife. The singer is a hard act to follow and expects those around him to keep up their aura. He invites others to move their feet and enjoy his sweet soirée.


However, the singer is not interested in dancing with just anyone. He is draped in designer and out of everyone's league. He is a smooth operator and enjoys his sweet soirée, but he is also blasé and uninterested in those chatting in his face or worrying about him. The singer wants to dance and catch his groove, but not with just anyone saying "La Di Da." He makes it clear that he is not interested in dancing with someone who does not catch his eye.

Anyone else noticed how Syd yelled "BRIDGE!!" like Pharrell usually does? Gotta love that Neptunes inspiration.

@vegadeth

It is like Pharrell but that was done a ton by James Brown too and even before him. James really made it his thing though. All good

@kiDsk8101

@vegadeth facts

@simaosantos4111

@simaosantos4111
