Bobby Brown Goes Down Lyrics

Hey there, people, I'm Bobby Brown
They say I'm the cutest boy in town
My car is fast, my teeth is shiney
I tell all the girls they can kiss my heinie

Here I am at a famous school
I'm dressin' sharp'n' I'm acting cool
I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper
Let her do all the work'n' maybe later I'll rape her

Oh God I am the American dream
I do not think I'm too extreme
An' I'm a handsome sonofa[G]bitch
I'm gonna get a good job'n' be real rich
(get a good, get a good ...)

Women's liberation
Came creepin' all across the nation
I tell you people, I was not ready
When I fucked this dyke by the name of Freddie

She made a little speech then
Aw, she tried to make me say when
She had my balls in a vice, but she left the dick
I guess it's still hooked on, but now it shoots too quick

Oh God I am the American dream
But now I smell like Vaseline
An' I'm a [Dm7]miserable sonofa bitch
Am I a boy or a lady ...? I don't know which
(I wonder, wonder ...)

So I went out'n' bought me a leisure suit
I jingle my change, but I'm still kinda' cute
Got a job doin' radio promo
An' none of the jocks can even tell I'm a homo

Eventually me'n' a friend
Sorta drifted along into S&M
I can take about an hour on the tower of power
Long as I gets a little golden shower

Oh God I am the American dream
With a spindle up my butt till it makes me scream
An' I'll do anything to get ahead
I lay awake nights sayin', "Thank you, Fred"

Oh God, Oh God, I'm so fantastic !
Thanks to Freddie, I'm a sexual spastic
And my name is Bobby Brown
Watch me now; I'm goin' down
And my name is Bobby Brown
Watch me now; I'm goin' down
And my name is Bobby Brown
Watch me now; I'm goin' down

It might be because I'm a chick, but I LOVE this song. I hated jocks in high school. Whoever says that this is tasteless is just being waaay too sensitive. This song's just sticking it to the popularity contest that is life.

It's about the "perfect" guy at high school. The man's man. The one every guy wants to be. And it turns out he's gay. Oh the delicious irony. :}

frank has described the story of this song onstage. three radio dudes came to interview him and they brought their women with them and had a smug air to them and were trying to show off for the ladies by being douches and i guess frank just didn't like the guys at all.

so it's about a dude who's the shit, and who meets a feminist who pussy whips him. then he gets a job doing radio, and is a gay mess at the end of his life.

Song Meaning

This song is an obvious parody of the american dream and lifestyle, its basically taking the piss out of the popularity contest that is life in America. its a good song though

Frank is my god. I think more jocks and rich pricks could benefit from having their balls cut off. Find out that deep down they really like S&M and being peed on.

I'd love to hate this song, but I've got to suck it up and admit that it kicks ass. Frank Zappa will never fail to keep the public entertained.

ANTI-FEMINIST? Are you retarded? It's a caricature of some jock ass that thinks about raping women. It's a FEMINIST song if anything because it's making you laugh at what a horrible loser a guy like that is.

One should never look to deep into frank zappa's music, i think. who the hell knows what was going through his mind when the song was written? there was so much controversy about he and his badn taking nothing seriously, so theres a good chance that its just a bunch of bullshit that sounds good and is funny. i love frank zappa's music very much though...a fan-fuckin-tastic composer, he was. and beautiful too :)
