This summer jam was my #59 song on my Spotify Wrapped this year. It was only the fifth song I had not written a post about - and three of them were by Charlotte Cardin and I'm debating the other one right now.
Anyway, this song started off as a Saturday Night Live skit, a parody of the over-the-top hip hop videos and matching angry-sounding lyrics about flippy-floppies. The song ended up charting on the Billboard Hot 100 - and in other places, too! - and got a Grammy nomination!
It's also a great jam to crank when you're on a boat.
If you prefer your songs without curse words - you don't know how hard it was to post this without saying "motherfucker!" repeatedly - check out this performance featuring classroom instruments, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots.
To be fair, they were NOT afraid to curse when they performed the song on The Tonight Show with the Roots.
