Ke$ha in the music video for her #1 hit "TiK ToK"
The song: “TiK ToK” by Ke$ha
And yet it has nothing to do with time…..
The song, “Tik Tok” (stylized as TiK ToK) is the late 2009-early 2010 party anthem of the moment was penned by Kesha, Benny Blanco and pop writer extraordinaire Dr. Luke (who wrote Since U Been Gone, Girlfriend and I Kissed A Girl among others).
The upbeat pop/dance tune was written after an experience of Kesha waking up one morning in a foreign house surrounded by plenty of women who no ordinary man could ever possibly hope to be surrounded with.
Therefore, she wakes up feeling “like P. Diddy.”
And who is that strange voice who says “what’s up girl?” Well that is of course the one and only P. Diddy.
Kesha has said:
“I woke up one day after we went to a party, and I was surrounded by ten of the most beautiful women you’ve ever seen. And I was like, I’m like P. Diddy — there’s no man like this in the entire world. So that became the first line of the new single, and we just went from there. It’s a daily process in my life.”
The song continues on talking about Kesha’s experiences of the morning, evening and night follow the past night of partying. Its a harmless song, but has recieved some criticism for the glorification of extreme partying, but no worries for Kesha, the song has risen to the top of the charts in multiple countries, and has rested at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the last eight weeks, a record for a female debut.
No doubt the song has a catchy beat to it, and the lyrics about everything from P. Diddy to Mick Jagger, have captured the ears of the country.
And now, the video and lyrics.
Feel free to play the video while reading the lyrics.
LYRICS:
Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy
(Hey, what up girl?)
Grab my glasses, I’m out the door, I’m gonna hit this city
(Lets go)
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
‘Cause when I leave for the night, I ain’t coming back
I’m talking pedicure on our toes, toes
Trying on all our clothes, clothes
Boys blowing up our phones, phones
Drop-topping, playing our favorite CDs
Pulling up to the parties
Trying to get a little bit tipsy
Don’t stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I’mma fight
‘Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock
But the party don’t stop, no
Don’t stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I’mma fight
‘Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock, on the clock
But the party don’t stop, no
Ain’t got a care in world, but got plenty of beer
Ain’t got no money in my pocket, but I’m already here
And now, the dudes are lining up cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger
I’m talking about everybody getting crunk, crunk
Boys tryin’ to touch my junk, junk
Gonna smack him if he getting too drunk, drunk
Now, now, we go until they kick us out, out
Or the police shut us down, down
Police shut us down, down
Po-po shut us
Don’t stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I’mma fight
‘Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock
But the party don’t stop, no
Don’t stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I’mma fight
‘Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock
But the party don’t stop, no
DJ, you build me up
You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me
With my hands up
You got me now
You got that sound
Yeah, you got me
DJ, you build me up
You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me
With my hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Now, the party don’t start ’til I walk in
Don’t stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I’mma fight
‘Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock
But the party don’t stop, no
Don’t stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I’mma fight
‘Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock
But the party don’t stop, no
Thanks for the song Ke$ha!
-AAA
