Flash Light Lyrics
Flash Light
Now, I lay me down to sleep
Ooh, I just can't find a beat
Flash light (ohh, I will never dance!)
Flash light [x3]
Ha da da dee da hada hada da da
Oh, it's no use!
Flash light
Red light
Neon light
Ooh, stop light
Now I lay me down to sleep
I guess I'll go count the sheep
Oh, but I will never dance
(oh, don't make me do it)
(Dance, sucker! ooh ha ha!)
(oww! Get him!)
Most of all he needs the funk (shine it)
Help him find the funk (ha, funk it!)
Most of all he needs the funk
Help him find the funk (get him)
Most of all he needs the funk (I know we can get him)
Help him find the funk (ho!)
Most of all he needs the funk (ha, don't!)
Help him find the funk (I know you will! Dance, sucker!)
Most of all he needs the funk (Shine the spotlight on him!)
Help him find the funk (Oh funk me!)
Ha da da dee da hada hada da da
(Dance, Nose! You know you on my funk street??)
Oh, funk me!
Ha da da dee da hada hada da da (get on down,
Nose! I like it! Dance,

Flash light (oh ho ho!)
Spot light
Neon light (neon light)
Street light (street light)

Everybody's got a little light under the sun

Shake your funk (Ha da da dee da hada hada da da)
Shake your funk (Ha da da dee da hada hada da da)

its a song about getting happy bro , analytically he says most of all he needs the funk.. help him find the funk. the flashlight is metaphor for finally seeing something out of total darkness i think.
Wrong.
Wrong.
The comic book inside the album cover tells the whole thing explicitly.

Super-villain Sir Nose D'voidofunk (devoid of funk) terrorizes the ghetto. He might be a pimp. He carries a sawed-off shotgun and hides behind a mask. Starchild comes down from space to change people like him and make them happy instead of being tough during the day and crying alone all night.

Flashlight plays after starchild shoots 2 cool 4 u Sir Nose with the bop gun. It transforms him into experiencing his primary feelings instead of strutting around intimidating people.
Earlier in the album, Nose says "I will never dance." Well, he's a dancing mutha fuckah NOW, and the whole room is looking at him make a spectacle of himself.
Of course, that's why they shot him with the bop gun: to make him happy, like they are. To make him feel and dance and remember who he is so he can have fun in this life.
Flashlights, spot lights, neon lights, they're all aimed at Nose. No more hiding his feelings behind his long-nose mask now! "Ho-ho, look at him go!"
It's like Pink Floyd: "since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fears, I sentence you to be exposed before your peers." And like in the Wall album, what he feared most is what liberated him.
At clinton's concerts, every single person in the audience holds up a lit flashlight, and the entire place is suddenly full of light.
And we all danced, bathed in the lights that surrounded us.

@FayeKane How is it wrong when superlou stated that it might be about getting happy? You stated Starchild comes down from space to make them \'happy\'.... ????♂️

FayeKane apparently thinks this entry is about the meaning of "Bop Gun" -- they did a pretty good job of describing that song! . But the song in question is actually "Flash Light".
It's not a difficult song; the song is about finding the Funk, as superlou correctly pointed out.
[Edit: i had misspelled the word "this".]
"Publisher block"? LOL what is it, 1998... yeah I remember when they tried to stop people from typing lyrics on the internet... you can imagine how ridiculous that was...
