Lirik Lagu Brand New Dance

[Intro]
Get up
Everybody on the dance floor, come on
That means you too, Chris
Haha

[Verse 1]
Well, it’s Friday night, no date for the prom
Just got caught jackin’ off by your mom
Suspended from school for settin’ off the alarm
Kim Jong keep screamin’ he gon’ drop the bomb
But anyway, every day is the same old shiddit
Room lookin’ like a tornado hit it
Try to explain, your parents, they don’t get it
Time to hit you with a funky dope rhythm
Let it roll, if you ready, we gon’ start the show
Everybody in the world, all across the globe
You can feel it in your head down to your toes
Dance until you’re wheelchair bound, here we go
Yеah, horseback, little do-si-do
Little bit of soul mixеd with some rodeo
Everybody in the world’s gonna laugh to this
Sh-t, I’ll probably end up crippled after this, come on

[Chorus]
Clap your hands and stomp your feet
Everybody join together
Can you feel the funky beat?
Everywhere you see people laughing and
Dancing in the street
On the count of three, everybody do
The Christopher Reeves
One, two, three, follow me

[Verse 2]
Superman, Batman, Spider-Man
Slipped, fell, landed in a garbage can
Sh-t, hell, damn it, I can hardly stand
But I get it crackin’ like no one in the party can
Give me a beat, I’ll show you all a brand new dance
All I need is a stretcher and an ambulance
Now stand back, kids, don’t try this at home
Chi-boom, kick-boom, ooh, ah-oh
It’s a brand new craze and it’s sweepin’ the nation
Anything else is a cheap imitation
Just make sure that you videotape it
You can only do it once ‘fore the people go apesh-t
It’s a crowd favorite, a party pleaser
It’s better than shake of a grand mal seizure
So next time that you see grandma, tease her
And roll up with a fresh set of wheels all greased up

[Chorus]
Clap your hands and stomp your feet
Everybody join together
Can you feel the funky beat?
Everywhere you see people laughing and
Dancing in the street
On the count of three, everybody do
The Christopher Reeves
One, two, three, follow me

[Bridge]
If your arms, legs, feet, and your hands are numb
You’ve fallen and you can’t get up
It’s a brand new dance, this is my Chris anthem, I’m
Givin’ Chris Reeves his chrysanthemums

[Verse 3]
I’ma have everybody jumpin’ to this
Caitlyn Jenner in the front row pumpin’ her fists
With a simple little twist and a flick of the wrist
A little snap of the neck and a slip of the disc
You just pull up a chair and grab a seat
And clap your hands and stomp your feet
Or stomp your hands and clap your feet
Flop around ’til you lookin’ like a slab of meat
You put your left foot back, your right in front
Tip your head back, let it touch your butt
‘Til you feel a lil’ pop, like what the f-ck?
Motherf-ck, f-ck a duck, what the f-ck? I’m stuck
So, party people, are you with me? What’s the deal?
If you real, grab your chair up by the wheel
If you wanna feel just like the Man of Steel
Windmillin’ on a million banana peels, come on

[Chorus]
Clap your hands and stomp your feet
Everybody join together
Can you feel the funky beat?
Everywhere you see people laughing and
Dancing in the street
On the count of three, everybody do
The Christopher Reeves
One, two, three, follow me

[Outro]
Woo
Good morning, Eminem
Or Marshall, as others have informed me
Christopher Reeves here
You had better not talk behind my back
Or I will kick your as- the minute I’m out of this chair
Watch yourself, Marshall
I’m watching you
Ah! Holy sh-t

Deskripsi

“Brand New Dance” dimulai dengan intro yang memanggil semua orang untuk bergabung di lantai dansa. Dalam verse pertama, Eminem menggambarkan situasi-situasi konyol dan kasar yang sering kali mencerminkan gaya humor gelapnya. Lirik ini penuh dengan sindiran dan ironi yang ditujukan pada berbagai isu sosial dan budaya.

Chorus lagu ini mengajak pendengar untuk bertepuk tangan dan menginjakkan kaki mereka, serta mengajak semua orang untuk melakukan “The Christopher Reeves,” sebuah tarian yang dirancang untuk mencederai diri sendiri. Verse kedua melanjutkan dengan gaya humor yang sama, di mana Eminem menampilkan lirik yang memprovokasi dan menantang.

Pada bridge, Eminem menciptakan himne untuk Christopher Reeve, dan verse ketiga menutup lagu dengan mengajak semua orang untuk berpartisipasi dalam tarian ini, yang pada akhirnya akan membuat mereka terluka dan tidak dapat menari lagi. Lagu ini diproduksi oleh Eminem dan Luis Resto, dengan tambahan gitar dari Steve King dan keyboard dari Luis Resto.
