Bling Bling!) Paid thirty dollars to get into this place Can't even see your hand in front of your face Shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of sweaty guys Push on through them when we catch her eye You say I like you (What?) You say I want you (What?) But she can't hear you (What?) So she ignores you (What?) And the the bass drops out because the chorus is near Oh we don't need no rhymes and we don't write no words So we say Yo, Yo And you say Yo, Yo And then the build up starts to the same bit from before But with the bass back in so you can dance some more And it gets higher and louder, and higher and louder, and higher and louder Till the chorus comes in.... But this bit always tricks you Yo, Yo Yo, Yo See it's easy to remember and it's easy to learn That's why people call it catchy when they mean that it's terrible The chorus has no words, we only singing Yo It's not even English, sing along, here we go So we sing Yo, Yo And you sing Yo, Yo Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Took half an hour just to get to the bar That fifty dollars didn't go very far Some drunken douche-bag knocks your drink to the ground You spent an hour trying to buy this round Your roommate texts you, he's not here anymore He needs the place tonight, he's gone home to score Trapped in this sauna and there's smoke in your eyes Try to convince yourself that you've had a good time So you sing Yo, Yo And we sing Yo, Yo We sing it over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over And now they're playing Dubstep! Yo, Yo Yo, Yo Everybody in club come on and let me hear you say Whoa (Whoa) All the ladies in club whose feet really hurt say Oww (Oww!) If you're sitting in the corner cos you drank too much say Blurgh (Blurgh!) If you snuck into the club cuz you're 17 say nothing (...) You know the word Yo, Yo Yeah dancing Yo, Yo Whoa it's nearly midnight Yo, Yo All right that's it the club's closed. Everybody out! Written & Performed by The Axis of Awesome Directed and Edited by Bryan Moses Produced by Laura Hughes Camera by Bryan Moses, Daniel Townes & Daniel Miller Special thanks to our fans who came and danced to this tune over and over and over and over...

Got To Rip It Off | Music Videos | The Axis Of Awesome

Y'know how Marvin Gaye's family sued Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams because "Blurred Lines" sounded kinda similar to "Got to Give It Up". Well they can't sue us for making a song that sounds exactly like "Got to Give It Up" because parody is fair use! This song is on our 2016 album "Viva La Vida Loca Las Vegas", available on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/viv... Lyrics If you write your own music That has a similar sound To something somebody else had written It might get around And then the lawyers Will sue you for a huge fee It could be up to $7,000,000 baby So take it from me Make sure you always remember this one thing above all Parody is fair use baby so just copy it all As long as it's original, there's always a chance It'll sound like something already written And they'll sue the pants - off - you Used your music! Ooh! Marvin! And that's alright It's perfectly legal, fuck your copyright Why do you think that this genre belongs to you?! There's so many Blurred Lines, but this is fair use You live in a glass house, you shouldn't throw bricks Just read Title 17 Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976 We didn't even sample, I made this music myself No I won't be accused of being thick, unlike somebody else I think it's ironic they paid homage to you And they're the ones you took to court, But it's us you can't sue Used your music! Ooh! Marvin! And that's okay It comes under fair use baby, so we'll never pay Credits Director: Alex Gabbott (cosmicrebel.net) Producer: Kara Schlegl DOP: Jack Crombie Marvin Gaye as himself Lawyer: Ben Jenkins Backup Dancers: Rubee Sookee, Fran Middleton Dance Party: Charlotte Goodsir, Sebastian Hernage, Bish Marzook, Atlas Adams, Lucy Hiley, Ellen Robson, Joe Knights, Ally Canas Special thanks to Edan Lacey

You work 5 days a week, two off, that’s it Well our lifestyle, it’s the opposite We work weekends and nights that’s the life we chose How else could you come see our shows? We can only perform when you are free Our jobs work symbiotically I don’t know why we sing about the weekend tho It’s a disingenuous appeal to the public Waiting for the Weekend Gonna get a sleep in But that’s something I do every day We’re tryna be relatable But it’s unbelievable The weekend is when we work traditionally Waiting for the weekend If it is the weekend Days just blur into one for me Gonna paint the town red Party til we’re braindead After we finish work at 3 Waiting for the weekend (But not like you) Waiting for the weekend (We got work to do) Waiting for the weekend (That’s when our concert's on) Waiting for the weekend (hope you can get along) When you’re at work we just laze about You pay the money that you earn for us to sing about it Doesn’t make much sense when you think about it So try not to It’s a very different lifestyle as you can see I haven’t had a real job since I was 19 What I can’t wait for is the week to come Yo 5 day weekend gonna have some fun Waiting for the week That’s when I’m at my peak I get so much done when you’re busy Save so much time Cause there’s never a line At the bank, post office or grocery But it’s 2017 If you know what I mean Millions work in the service industry If they didn’t work on Saturday There wouldn’t be a cafe For your brunch, nothin’ open for your shopping spree Waiting for the week (So make sure you tip) Waiting for the week (And your business pays over time) Waiting for the week (Cause if you value your weekend) Waiting for the week (Then you should value mine) I got the rollie on my arm And I'm pourin chandon And for some reason waiting for the weekend to come I sing about my success And my life of excess And how I need to get a break from it all That's dumb.

Well, life has an answer He faints out of the blue and when he comes to He finds out he has lung cancer His brother-in-law Hank at the DEA Shows him a drug bust video, turns out crime does pay Making crystal meth? Sheeet, I can do that All I need is a partner and a cool new hat Has a ride-along with the enforcement team Sees a former student fleeing the scene Approaches Jesse Pinkman with a business pitch "Let's deal drugs together" he's like "Hell YEAH, bitch!" HIs family none the wiser (what's for breakfast, y'all?) You better keep this under wraps (Walt you better call Saul) He's the struggling science teacher turned neighbourhood drug-dealing dad He's the killer cook with cancer Now he's Breaking Bad
