Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ah hey yo Tim drop the beat for me
Ah yeah
Do it really sexy for me yeah
Y'all see that girl over there
Hey girl check this out right here
Say baby what's your story
The type that a keep a brother on his knees
And I'm so curious
After the club hang out with me
Valentino is sure to please
For now let's have an apple martini
And get to know each other
[Chorus]
Oh ma tell me
How did you get that in those jeans
The way you popping it is killing me
Look over here come follow me
Tell me
How did you get that in those jeans
The way you dropping it is killing me
I'll meet you in the V.I.P
When you sizzling want to lay you on the floor
I'm a bad boy just thought I'd let you know
These are the thoughts running through my mind
Cause I'm so curious yeah
Couple more shots and we out the door
Speed off in the coupe cause there's more in store
Can't wait till I pull in my driveway girl
Can tell by now I want you
[Bridge]
You's a sexy thing
Boo what's your name
Cause you're the finest thing that's walked in the club
Your girls they don't compare
To you can't help but stare
At you, lets make a toast to the good life
[Chorus: x2]
Oh boy tell me
Out of all the girls, your staring at me
Is it the way I'm rocking mi jeans
Looking at my bubble is making you freeze
Oh boy I see
Your sexy too come follow me
Let's go up to the V.I.P
Hold our glasses
Toast to the good life
[Bridge]
[Chorus: x3]
The song "Don't Tell Me" by Bobby Valentino is a flirtatious and sensual track that speaks of the singer's interest in a particular woman who catches his eye. In the opening lines, Valentino requests Tim to drop a sexy beat while eyeing an attractive woman at the club. He then proceeds to introduce himself to her and gets her to relax over a drink. The chorus of the song focuses on how stunning the woman's body is, complementing her curves and style. The song builds tension, with Valentino's thoughts constantly racing in his mind about how much he wants this woman. He plans his moves, offers another drink, and finally suggests they move to the VIP section where they can be alone.
The lyrics of "Don't Tell Me" come off as smooth and confident, with Valentino portraying himself as a slick operator. There are no questions in his mind about what he wants, and he isn't afraid to make a move. The lyrics are simple, and the melody is catchy and upbeat. The audience can easily get sucked in by the flirtatious nature of the song, and Valentino's delivery adds to the charm. Overall, "Don't Tell Me" gives the listener a peek into the world of late-night clubbing, where people come to party, have a good time, and maybe even meet someone special.

Out of all the girls, your staring at me
I've noticed you're looking at me more than any other women in the club
Is it the way I'm rocking mi jeans
Are you impressed by the way I'm wearing my jeans?
Looking at my bubble is making you freeze
You're fixated on my butt and can't stop staring
Oh boy I see
Hey there, I noticed you looking at me
Your sexy too come follow me
I find you attractive too, come follow me to a different spot
Let's go up to the V.I.P

The following is some notes on each of the recordings used in this video:
-The Necros (From Maumee, OH) tracks are taken from some demos recorded around 1982. I feel like these probably would've been the recordings used.
-The Autistic Behavior (From Philly) tracks are taken from their Shattered Cattle album, recorded in 1982 and never officially released until 2014.
-GI tracks are taken from their Make An Effort EP, released in 1983 but recorded in Feb 1982.
-Skewbald (Also known as Grand Union) track is taken from the "2 Songs" 7", recorded in 1982 but not released until 1990. The track is titled "Skewbald" on the tracklisting and I'm not sure which Skewbald track that was intended to be. Here I decided to use "You're Not Fooling Me".
-Void tracks taken from the recording sessions for the Faith/Void split LP. "Black, Jewish and Poor" is a session outtake, presumably intended to be used on this comp.
-Faith tracks are taken from the Faith/Void split LP.
-The first chunk of Double-O tracks are taken from their 2nd demo session in 1981 and the second chunk are taken from their 4th demo session also in 1981. Double-O is the only band on the comp with two different sets of tracks - I'm not sure why that is but I'm not complaining.
-Misguided tracks are taken from their 2nd demo session.
-Kraut tracks are taken from the sessions for their An Adjustment To Society LP.
-After the Kraut tracks there were supposed to be three tracks by Peer Pressure, a short-lived and obscure DC Hardcore band with Tom Berrard and Danny Ingram. These tracks unfortunately never seem to have made it to the internet age.
-The Scream tracks were recorded at the 171A studio in 1982.
-The Crucial Truth (Also knows as Crucial T.) were also recorded at the 171A studio in 1982 and were taken from American Hardcore author Steven Blush's "24 Hours of Hardcore" playlist.
-The tracks by The Mob were also recorded at the 171A studio in 1982. Included here is "F.A.S.T.", taken from the 24 Hours of Hardcore playlist. Another song called "Overthrow" was also to be included on the comp but I couldn't find it to include here - c'est la vie.
-The Influence tracks were presumably also recorded at 171A. These tracks are taken from uploads by "SBTC" on YouTube - thanks!
-Bad Brains tracks are session outtakes from their self-titled debut album, recorded at 171A in 1981.
-Even Worse tracks recorded at 171A in Feb 1982 during the sessions for an LP, eventually released in 1996 as part of the You've Ruined Everything CD (With the session issued on vinyl in 2016). Three tracks were intended for use on the comp, two of which appear here. The missing track is titled "Distance".
-Bloodclot! tracks were recorded at 171A for use on the comp. The first song here was taken from the 24 Hours of Hardcore playlist. The other three songs in this video were taken from a live set recorded at CBGBs. I'm unsure of the title of the last song used but the name of the last Bloodclot! song on the comp is "Mechanical Evolution"; I'm unsure whether this is the name of the song used here or not.
-After this, there are supposed to be two tracks by UXA (from LA) taken from a live performance at 171A, as are the tracks by Angry Samoans (LA), DOA (Vancouver) and The Subhumans (Vancouver). I once had the sets by UXA and Angry Samoans downloaded but I can no longer seem to find them. The UXA tracks are not included in this video. The Angry Samoans tracks in this video come from a live performance at Mabuhuy Gardens in San Francisco in 1983. The DOA tracks included in this video come from their Hardcore '81 and Something Better Change LPs respectively. The first and third Subhumans tracks included in this video come from their Incorrect Thoughts LP and the second comes from their No Wishes, No Prayers LP.
-The final set of tracks were supposed to come from a band called The New Standard. I know nothing about this band and their tracks never made it to the internet age so they aren't included in this video.
