You know the music make me jump and prance
The B-E-Peas we keep you rocking on the dance
You know my music make 'em jump and prance
Dum diddly dum dum diddly dum dum diddly dum dum diddly diddly
You know the music make me jump and prance
The B-E-Peas we keep you rocking on the dance
Uh-us uh-us jump and prance
Dum diddly dum dum diddley dum dum diddly dum dum diddly diddly

Bring on the rhythm; bring on the drums
The rim shot sound like someone gunned
(Pop! Pop!) There go your ear drums
So raise the volume to the maximum
Base booming bout to make your body feel numb
Pulsations probably penetrate your skeleton
This little diddley definitely demonstrates some
Dum diddley dum - so dance to the drum

Don't hurt yourself, take it easy
There's no better time than right now
So let yourself go, o-eh-o
Watch yourself now, here comes the sound
Don't hurt yourself, take it easy
There's no better time than right now
So let yourself go, o-eh-o
Watch yourself now, here comes the sound

You know the music make me jump and prance
The B-E-Peas we keep you rocking on the dance
You know my music make 'em jump and prance
Dum diddly dum dum diddly dum dum diddly dum dum diddly diddly
You know the music make me jump and prance
The B-E-Peas we keep you rocking on the dance
Uh-us uh-us jump and prance
Dum diddly dum dum diddly dum dum diddly dum dum diddly diddly

Freeze
Music please
Apparently we the true MC's
B-E Boys no decoys you know the sting
B-E-Peas till infinity
And we officially also fresh in the scene
So tell me if you see a crew that officially
Hit the whole globe simultaneously
Hit after hit, check out my melody

Don't hurt yourself, take it easy
There's no better time than right now
So let yourself go, o-eh-o
Watch yourself now, here comes the sound
Don't hurt yourself, take it easy
There's no better time than right now
So let yourself go, o-eh-o
Watch yourself now, here comes the sound

You know the music make me jump and prance
The B-E-Peas we keep you rocking on the dance
You know my music make 'em jump and prance
Dum diddly dum dum diddly dum dum diddly dum dum diddly diddly
You know the music make me jump and prance
The B-E-Peas we keep you rocking on the dance
Uh-us uh-us jump and prance
Dum diddly dum dum diddly dum dum diddly dum dum diddly diddly

Bum dum bum diddly diddly
Dum dum diddly diddly
Bang bang bang diddly diddly
Dum bum diddly diddly
Bum bum dum dim hing ding
Dum diddly diddly
Bong bong bum diddly diddly
Dong dong diddly diddly
Come on diddly diddly

Come on diddly diddly
Come on ding ding ding ding diddly diddly
Come on diddly, come on diddly
Come on diddly, come on diddly
Ooo bing, they be back ayo!

Sim sim sim, blum blum blum
The Black Eyed Peas begun with action
Repeating rhy-rhythm in satisfaction
No need for asking, that's what's happening
The blip blip blip, the blah blah blau
You didn't know me then and you'll never know me now
I'm the Apl.De.Ap, the Filipino Ap
If you need to know my style, yeah let me show you how

Don't hurt yourself, take it easy
There's no better time than right now
So let yourself go, o-eh-o
Watch yourself now, here comes the sound
Don't hurt yourself, take it easy
There's no better time than right now
So let yourself go, o-eh-o
Watch yourself now, here comes the sound

You know the music make me jump and prance
The B-E-Peas we keep you rocking on the dance
You know my music make 'em jump and prance
Dum diddly dum dum diddly dum dum diddly dum dum diddly diddly
You know the music make me jump and prance
The B-E-Peas we keep you rocking on the dance
Uh-us uh-us jump and prance
Dum diddly dum dum diddly dum dum diddly dum dum diddly diddly

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
