Pretty Fly
The Offspring Lyrics


Gunter glieben glauten globen

Give it to me, baby (uh huh, uh huh)
Give it to me, baby (uh huh, uh huh)
Give it to me, baby (uh huh, uh huh)
And all the girlies say, I'm pretty fly for a white guy

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis

You know it's kind of hard just to get along today
Our subject isn't cool but he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue and he may not have style
But everything he lacks, well, he makes up in denial

So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes, ah
Hey, hey, do that brand new thing

Give it to me, baby (uh huh, uh huh)
Give it to me, baby (uh huh, uh huh)
Give it to me, baby (uh huh, uh huh)
And all the girlies say, I'm pretty fly (for a white guy)

He needs some cool tunes, not just any will suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube so he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruising in his Pinto, he sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice they're gonna kick his lily ass

So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world loves wannabes, ah
Hey, hey, do that brand new thing

Now he's gettin' a tattoo
Yeah, he's gettin' ink done
He asked for a "13", but they drew a "31"
Friends say he's trying too hard
And he's not quite hip
But in his own mind
He's the, he's the dopest trip

Give it to me, baby (uh huh, uh huh)
Give it to me, baby (uh huh, uh huh)
Give it to me, baby (uh huh, uh huh)
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis

So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes, ah
The world loves wannabes, ah
Let's get some more wannabees, ah
Hey, hey, do that brand new thing

Fourteen years ago, at university, I met a fellow student who looked just like that guy. The style, the attitude, the clothes, the sly smirk, the facial features, the cluelessness when it came to his own cheesiness...the resemblance was uncanny. To this day, he's still one of my best friends, and although his current style is nothing like it was back then, deep down, he'll always be pretty fly for a white guy. And he's going to become a dad, too ! Flo, if you're reading this, I love you, man.

Got drunk and accidentally married one of these white, gangsta-wannabe guys, when I was young. He got me to buy him sneakers, then disappeared. I had to get an annulment.

From the over-exposed lightning to the fish-eye lenses, everything about this video clip just screams early 00s/late 90s. Love it.

@Yvory6 You should have exploited a dictionary.

I'm pretty sure it's the remastering that makes it look like shit. Tom Scott has a video about it with All Star as the example, it's called "Why some "remastered" music videos look awful". All Star looks exactly like this video lol, overexposed and badly sharpened. The other approach for a remaster that doesn't have the original tape is to leave it kinda blurry, like Smells Like Teen Spirit or Buddy Holly, looks nicer imo. And then there are videos that actually have the original film and were rescanned in 4k, like Cranberries' Zombie
