The Starlite Singers Lyrics

Play that funky music
Encouragement to continue playing funky music

Play that funky music, white boy
Encouragement to a white boy to continue playing funky music

I'm back and I'm ringin' the bell
The singer is back and ready to perform

A rockin' on the mike while the fly girls yell
The singer is performing while being cheered on by enthusiastic female audience members

In ecstasy in the back of me
The singer is aware that the audience behind him is in a state of great excitement

Well that's my DJ Deshay cuttin' all them Z's
The DJ is cutting and scratching records with precision and skill

Hittin' hard and the girlies goin' crazy
The DJ's music is energizing the female audience members

Vanilla's on the mike, man I'm not lazy.
The singer Vanilla Ice is on the microphone and he is not being lazy

I'm lettin' my drug kick in
The singer is letting the rhythm of the music take over

It controls my mouth and I begin
The singer's love for the music is overpowering his natural inhibitions

To just let it flow, let my concepts go
The singer is allowing his creative ideas to flow out freely

My posse's to the side yellin', Go Vanilla Go!
The singer's team members are encouraging him to keep performing

Smooth 'cause that's the way I will be
The singer will perform in a smooth and effortless manner

And if you don't give a damn, then
The singer does not care if the audience is indifferent to him

Why you starin' at me
The singer is questioning why someone would continue to look at him if they don't care about his performance

So get off 'cause I control the stage
The singer is asserting his dominance of the performance area

There's no dissin' allowed
The singer will not tolerate any negative remarks or disrespect

I'm in my own phase
The singer is in a unique and confident state

The girlies say they love me and that is ok
Female audience members are expressing their admiration for the singer and that is acceptable

And I can dance better than any kid n' play
The singer is a skilled dancer and can outperform popular dancing duo Kid n' Play

Stage 2 -- Yea the one ya' wanna listen to
The second phase of the performance is going to be worth listening to

It's off my head so let the beat play through
The lyrics are improvised and the beat will continue to play uninterrupted

So I can funk it up and make it sound good
The singer is confident that he can add his own touch to the music and improve its sound

1-2-3 Yo -- Knock on some wood
The singer is saying a quick prayer for good luck before continuing the performance

For good luck, I like my rhymes atrocious
The singer believes that his unconventional lyrics will bring him good luck

Supercalafragilisticexpialidocious
The singer uses a nonsensical and long word to impress the audience

I'm an effect and that you can bet
The singer is confident that his style and effect will be successful

I can take a fly girl and make her wet.
The singer is confident in his ability to attract and seduce female audience members

I'm like Samson -- Samson to Delilah
The singer is comparing himself to the Biblical figure Samson, who was weakened by Delilah's actions

There's no denyin', You can try to hang
The singer is acknowledging that some people will try to bring him down but he cannot be denied

But you'll keep tryin' to get my style
Others will continue to imitate the singer's unique style and persona

Over and over, practice makes perfect
The singer is acknowledging that repetition and practice leads to perfection

But not if you're a loafer.
Without effort and hard work, the person will not succeed

You'll get nowhere, no place, no time, no girls
If the person is lazy and unwilling to work hard, they will not achieve success or be attractive to the opposite sex

Soon -- Oh my God, homebody, you probably eat
The singer is making fun of a person who is unappealing and socially unattractive

Spaghetti with a spoon! Come on and say it!
The singer is challenging others to ridicule and insult the person as well

VIP. Vanilla Ice yep, yep, I'm comin' hard like a rhino
The singer is labeling himself as a VIP and enters the song with a powerful and energetic delivery

Intoxicating so you stagger like a wino
The singer's performance is mesmerizing and overwhelming for the audience

So punks stop trying and girl stop cryin'
Others should stop trying to compete with the singer's unique style and female audience member reactions are unnecessary

Vanilla Ice is sellin' and you people are buyin'
The audience members are fully invested and endorsing the singer's performance

'Cause why the freaks are jockin' like Crazy Glue
The audience members are intensely fascinated and glued to the singer's performance

Movin' and groovin' trying to sing along
The audience members are finding it hard to resist the urge to move and dance and are singing along

All through the ghetto groovin' this here song
The singer's song is being enjoyed by a diverse audience, including people from less affluent areas

Now you're amazed by the VIP posse.
The audience is impressed by the singer's entourage and his status as a VIP

Steppin' so hard like a German Nazi
The singer is stepping and dancing with great force and intensity

Startled by the bases hittin' ground
The audience is excited by the heavy and low sound of the bass

There's no trippin' on mine, I'm just gettin' down
The singer is staying focused and dancing with abandon

Sparkamatic, I'm hangin' tight like a fanatic
The singer is a huge fan of the music and is hanging on tight to the experience

You trapped me once and I thought that
The singer was fooled or trapped before but won't be again

You might have it
Others may try to imitate the singer's unique style

So step down and lend me your ear
The singer is asking others to listen to him and respect his talents

'89 in my time! You, '90 is my year.
The singer is stating that he was successful in the past year and has more success expected in the upcoming year

You're weakenin' fast, YO! and I can tell it
The singer can tell that the audience is becoming increasingly excited and overwhelmed

Your body's gettin' hot, so, so I can smell it

'Cause the lyrics belong to ICE, You can call me Dad
The lyrics and music belong to the singer, who the audience can look up to as a father figure

You're pitchin' a fit, so step back and endure
Someone in the audience is becoming overly excited and needs to calm down

Let the witch doctor, Ice, do the dance to cure
The singer will use his performance to help calm down the overly excited audience member

So come up close and don't be square
The singer is inviting the audience to get closer and not be overly shy or hesitant

You wanna battle me -- Anytime, anywhere
The singer is confident that he can win any battle or competition and is challenging others to face him

You thought that I was weak, Boy, you're dead wrong
