I need to let me make them dance when it come on. Everybody looking for a dance. I need to let everybody know that. Justino just got all the way to the other end of the castle dungeon and walked it back with that scream just to get the full theatric and the effect going. But I was levitating, baby. It is. DJs that like to spin it, mix it, throw it back, and dissect it.

Dissect DJs. Okay. So we doing Duolipa who is Levitating And she's a new to the world She's been around for a couple years now But still pretty new to the game She's not like nude to the game

But like he's not new to the household name game And apparently she's levitating Which I have after listening to the lyrics right now I don't know what she means by that She's just high on life basically Because she's met a guy It's a kind of statement It can mean a lot of things

And I think this is where dissecting the lyrics And the in between level Is necessary So let's figure out why do Aleppo be levitating? Because I'm levitating all the time. You know me? He stays, you know what I'm saying? I got that little...

He is six inches above the floor right now. It's weird. Yeah. Magic carpet levels. If you want to run away with me, I know a galaxy. And I can take you for a ride. So she's kind of talking about that same magic carpet levels that maybe you're on right now. Like Aladdin?

Yeah. Well, like I like to think that, like, she doesn't have an actual magic carpet that she can exactly so she's got something though that can make him yep at this point in the

telecast I would like just to point out that Justin's ability to whistle is probably the most jealous thing I have about any person I want to be able to speak in whistles the way he does so like me and him have gotten to a point now in our friendship over the years where like

I can explain what he's saying I just point I point to him and he knows his whistle. He's really good. At that point, like, whew. He's cool, picking up shit. What? Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, so she's talking to somebody, and she's letting him know, like, hey, I got a little magic ride that you can come with, and it's probably not actually a carpet, and maybe comes in something more of the pill variety form, you know? Now, this next word you're about to say, I'm dumbfounded. I had a premonition. Yeah, stop. what a word premonition it's a good word

yeah I guess I don't know is that like a word that you haven't come across before about it it has pro it's not pro you already started it off wrong it's prim prim yeah very good word okay yeah premonition which means that like you kind of had foresight

of like what is about to happen and what you see based on like the feeling that you have given off of what the situation is. So she has that. They fill into a rhythm where the music doesn't stop for life. Okay? It's just going to keep powering through.

It doesn't give a fuck what life has to alter its variables and that's movements, okay? This song is going through. I thought it was before you have a monition. All right, your lyrics suck. Always, you always go to the worst. No, I'm saying you have premonition. Isn't that

prior to having a monition? That's not a word. There's no way. That's a word. pre? Are you going to derail the episode with your bullshit this early? Like, we haven't even got to the fifth line yet. And this is a good song. It deserves better, okay?

Where the music don't stop for life, okay? Let's take it up from there. Are you good with that? All right. Glitter in the sky. Glitter in my eyes. Shining just the way I like. If you're feeling like you need a little bit of company,

you met the perfect time. Hey, all right. You bought me. I want you, baby. I'm levitating. The Milky Way. We're in getting, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right. I got to be honest, the song is uplifting. I get giddy listening to it. As much as I want to hate on it, I'm like, it's fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So much fun. And that's what I love about it. Remember when we did way back an episode, oh shit.

24. Right around there, yeah. when we did Deon, the old school, yeah? Deon is actually number 20. Run away, run around Sue. Run around Sue. I hit it.

And we talked about how. By the way, fuck you, Sue. Oh, fuck you, Dion, I thought. Oh, yeah, fuck you, Dion. Because Sue was just, hang, that's right. Okay, go ahead. What I remember talking about is like how much, they had that little recharge.

They had that ability to kind of like build up to something and they'd be like, So yeah, that song, the way that song actually builds up to the part that, like, gets you excited is that aspect that I feel like to Alepa brings in here because of the way she just kind of goes from. You barme, I'm gonna'alli. I'm gonna'alli. I'm gonna'am. Yeah, I'm gonna be. Yeah, yeah. Get your bread up.

They always leave when you, Bob, but you run together. Way to the world on my shoulders. I kept my head up. Now, baby, stand up. Because, girl, you. Come on. Okay. This man came in and raping some shit that I don't even know what he said, but it sounded cool.

So that is the baby, and he comes in. And that, honestly, this is where the song actually grabbed me. How old is the baby? I don't know. Is this a 20, 30-year-old man calling himself a baby? Yeah, but once you're a baby, you're a baby for life. We talked about the baby in a baby. episode 25, I believe, and when we did The Rockstar.

So we've talked about him before. I'm just mad that he keeps calling himself the baby. That's going to be history. And I said, as I said in that episode, if you're actually going to go with the baby as your name, like, you've got to have some legit street credit. Like, you've got to have some, like, backup. Like, there's a reason that you call that. And like, nobody's going to question. Nobody.

Honestly, the adolescent is a cool name. Like, that would be a cool, like, crap. I can see that. Yeah. All right. So the baby comes in. And this is where the song really, I feel like, hits a peak. And this is the reason that I like this song so much.

This kid, the baby's verse just, like, just crushes it off the bench here. I'm one of the greatest, saying, no debating on it. I'm still levitated. I'm heavily medicated. And he's heavily medicated. Ironic, I gave him love and they hating on me. And she told me she loved me and she'd been waiting. What the fuck?

Yeah, I don't know. It's a lot. They're going on there. But he's one of the greatest and he's levitated. The point is he's happy. He's heavily medicated. He's happy. He's been smoking.

He's happy. He's happy. He's been fighting hard for your love and on run with him. I'm patient. Needed someone to hug. He even took it back to the basics. So wait. So this song is actually about her wanting to get high.

It's a combination of wanting to levitate but also like being love. I feel like that's what it is. It's like you want to be on a good level. But you're also like, I want my sugar boo. my Milky Way my sugar bear my sugar boo yeah yeah yeah yeah

exactly and the baby puts out a rap for him but he finally hits it to me this is when he always gets me left foot right foot levitating pop stars

do a leaper with a baby and then she hits them with the lyric you can fly away with me tonight you can fly away with me tonight.

Let me take you on a ride. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm levitating. I'm going to go ahead and say that this woman is stoner. There's a lot of stunning going on in this. She likes to smoke. She's trying to, you want to smoke with me? Let's smoke.

I'm going to get you hot. Levitating. She's trying to smoke. She has a bong, a three-footer sitting at home, fresh ice cubes. He literally refers to lacing up his shoes for the blessings. as he was chasing. And if he ever slips, he's going to fall into a better situation.

Confidence. I'm going to live my life the way I do, and it's just going to work out the way it does. I'll still come out of the top. That's crazy. So ketchup, go put some cheese on it, get out, and get your bread up, you know? I'll put cheese on anything.

Yeah, exactly. I mean, like, honestly. Is there anything you wouldn't put cheese on? Canalop. You could put provolone on. Honey-dew melon. Any of the melons, you could put. put provolone.

Watermelon? Watermelon needs more of like a feta. Kind of going for a grape thing. I mean, I agree with you. I put cheese on what thing. Like, if I ever microwave something, I'm going to, like, I guess, you know, cereal?

Maybe cereal you don't want? There's a few. I put, actually, I put shredded cheese on cereal. The point I actually really love, now that I'm looking at it. By the way, I've been levitating. That's the reason I'm talking about.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually really appreciate. appreciate the baby's verse here now that I look at it closer because it's a combination of levitating. He's clearly on a good one, but he's wanted to combine that levitating with like, you know, what he's looking for in life and what he wants. And he's all about positivity in it. So it's like if he slips and he falls, you know, just like put some cheese on it, put some laces. Blue.

Yeah. No, no. Parmesan. No, no. Fuck parmesan. Maybe a little guita. Cheddar, bro. No, we go simple cheddar.

monster. But a slice of monster, microwave that shit for 30 seconds, let it melts on the motherfucker. You go cream cheese. Cottage. No, you're saying all the worst cheeses, bro. I'm honestly just naming every possible cheese. I know, but you're saying all the cheeses that I want to melt. I'm saying if I got a situation that I'm like, I'm not exactly sure what I want to do with this.

But I feel like there's positives here. And I want to explore. I'm going to lace them up. I'm going to throw on the tortilla. and I'll be like, so get on and get up. Let's throw some mats on it. Mots are real? I forgot about Wats.

Yeah, some mats on it. Put some heat on it, get up. And let's go, for something way of them better. And you go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got you. Lovitating, Justin. I know Justin is because I've seen his pregame activity to this episode. Oh, I've been.

Again, I need Justin to speak for me and whistle. Honestly, I feel like if Justin come up with the social media, identity and you can be like an at something and it would just be like at at yep that would be perfect that would read like so basically yeah this I gotta be honest man going through the song and like just actually go through the lyrics as we listen to the sign of it just dope positivity all around and I love the actual vibe of it there's a little bridge there of dual leapa that we got to discuss just before we close it out where she says my love is like a rocket, watch it blast off.

I'm feeling so electric. Dance my ass off. And even I want to, I can't stop. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And... How much do you love the yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I love it. I don't know why.

I usually would hate it. It just works. It sounds kind of lame, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But then I every time it got, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's what I'm saying. It works in the same vein that Dion's song does with a... Ah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's just a little recharge. It just gets you getting hyped right for that part. And the fact that the whole song is about having good energy, kind of being on a good one, but being cool with that. Like, it's not judging for being on a good one. It's like, hey, get on a good level, okay? Appreciate that. Let's yourself blast off.

Like a rock out. Dance your ass off. Stay electric, you know? What if Dua Lepa had a baby with the baby? It would probably be called. The infant? Why would Duelipa? You're saying?

She would have a baby with the baby. Yeah. So she's having a baby with the baby. Okay. Do a baby? Do a baby. Do a baby? I don't know.

I had that thought. It made me. It made me fonder. Fonder? Fonder? Fonder? You know that word? It's definitely not a word.

And check it out. All right. You're going to look it up right now. Look it up on it. Give us our slaps and snaps. I'm levitating. Give it to us. All right, I'm a levitate. Oh, I almost said it.

Oh, I almost got. Thank you. So I levitate it. Is that four? Is that three? Yeah, there's only three. Six? No, no, no.

I'm just going like three slaps and a bunch of snaps. This song falls in this weird category where it's like, I really like it, but I'm not trying to like overrate it. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? I don't you, baby I hear you I want to give it three slaps

I wanted to go four but I don't want to like put it over like some of the classics that I've given for so I wanted to give it a bunch of snaps so like there it is yeah three slaps and a bunch of snaps

Real quick before I give mine I have looked up the word Fonder which I forgot the reason why we even talked about Fonda because you fucking said it for no reason don't act like you don't know No I forgot why I said it back up Fonder

but like No, I brought it up, and I forgot the reason why I used it, but I know I used it in the correct sentence because the word fonder, the word is from a base called fond, comparative adjective, fonder. Oh, yeah, if something is more fond than something else, then it makes sense. It means an affection or liking for. Okay, but you said it makes me fonder, and that definitely is not why that was a word. Okay, it doesn't matter.

Everybody, go listen back. I said it correctly, and he's trying to hate on me. Get out of here. I'm levitate. Oh, my turn, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How do you do my whole one? Yeah, it's bring it home. I'm gonna redo it home. Ready? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There it is. All right. Yeah. I'm brought it home. That was good.

I feel good about that. I feel like I had everything included. And here's why. Because like there's something about the song that just makes you feel good. Like, I've never heard this song. It makes you feel like, and not feel like this make me and a thing. happy mood especially when the baby starts like calling out left foot right foot levitating that just always starts getting me move it starts making me move my left foot and right foot makes
