At the 1999 Melodifestivalen, the Swedish qualification for Eurovision Song Contest, Drömhus competed with the song "Stjärna på himmelen" ("Star in the sky"). It finished second, thus not qualifying for the European finals. In 2000, Therese announced that she will leave Drömhus to perform under her own name Therese instead. The year 2004 launched Therese overseas, with her remarkable success with Swedish DJ Stonebridge. They teamed up to release the worldwide dance hit ("Put 'Em High"). In late 2004 she produced her club hit Time. In 2007, she, together with The Attic, competed with the song "The Arrival" at Melodifestivalen for the opportunity to represent Sweden in Eurovision song contest in Helsinki, Finland. On the 17 February 2007, Therese, featuring The Attic, ended up in 7th place in Melodifestivalens semifinal, but did not qualify any further in the contest. Therese is releasing a new single, "Feelin' Me", in the UK in May 2007, on Positva Records.
Monkey
Therese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You needed me, gonna show you how.
Gonna show you boy, show you how to dance, ohhhh.
Let the monkey,
Start getting funky.
Hey you monkey,
You're kinda funky.
Gotta show you how to dance now, gonna show you how.
I ain't got time, time to rewind.
Count me in, if you're ready to roll.
Wanna roll with me? I wanna roll with you.
Gonna show you how, gonna show you how to dance.
Let the monkey,
Start getting funky.
Hey you monkey,
You're kinda funky.
You're kinda funky yeah.
Let the monkey,
Start getting funky.
Hey you monkey,
You're kinda funky.
You're kinda funky yeah.
Let the monkey
Start getting funky.
You're kinda funky yeah.
Hey you monkey,
You're kinda funky.
The lyrics to Therese's song "Monkey" are all about dancing and letting loose. The first line, "Come call on me, feel my space," sets the stage for a dance floor or party vibe where the singer is inviting someone to come dance with her. The next line, "You needed me, gonna show you how," suggests that maybe the dance partner is hesitant or unsure of their moves and the singer is going to help them out.
The chorus of the song, "Let the monkey, start getting funky. Hey you monkey, you're kinda funky. Gotta show you how to dance now, gonna show you how," seems to be urging the dance partner to let loose and have fun. The repeated use of the word "monkey" in the chorus is interesting, as it suggests a playful, carefree attitude that the singer wants to inspire in her dance partner.
The line "I ain't got time, time to rewind," suggests that the singer doesn't want to waste any time or hold back, she just wants to dance and have fun. The last two lines of the song, "You're kinda funky yeah. Hey you monkey, you're kinda funky," seem to express admiration for the dance partner's moves and encourage them to keep going.
Overall, the song is a fun, upbeat dance track that encourages listeners to let go and have fun on the dance floor.
