Give it to me baby! (Uh huh, uh huh!)
Give it to me baby! (Uh huh, uh huh!)
Give it to me baby! (Uh huh, uh huh!)
And all the girls say I'm pretty fly or a white guy
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis
You know it's kind of hard, just to get along today
Our subject isn't cool, but he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue and he may not have style
But everything he lacks, well, he makes up in denial
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabe's, ah
Hey! Hey! Do that brand new thing
Give it to me baby! (Uh huh, uh huh!)
Give it to me baby! (Uh huh, uh huh!)
Give it to me baby! (Uh huh, uh huh!)
And all the girls say I'm pretty fly (For a white guy)
He needs some cool tunes, not just any will suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube, so he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruising in his Pinto, he sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice, they're gonna kick his lily ass
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world loves wannabe's, ah
Hey! Hey! Do that brand new thing
Now he's getting a tattoo, yeah he's gettin' ink done
He asked for a '13', but they drew a '31'
Friends say he's trying too hard and he's not quite hip
But in his own mind, he's the dopest trip
Give it to me baby! (Uh huh, uh huh!)
Give it to me baby! (Uh huh, uh huh!)
Give it to me baby! (Uh huh, uh huh!)
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis
So don't debate, a player straight

The world loves wannabe's
So let's get some more wannabe's, ah

...interesting how William seems to be suddenly very nostalgic for The Offspring and Green Day this month, hmm??
please do not encourage the playing of any Green Day 😀
Do the younger generations even remember Vanilla Ice and Ricky Lake? I certainly hope not...
lol
Hearing this song come on RP made me laugh out loud! I love that there's always a curve ball lurking with this station.
I really appreciate all the experimentation that William and the team are doing recently. I NEVER would have expected Pretty Fly For A White Guy on RP, but here we are! I personally am a fan of having bonkers stuff like this on the playlist from time to time.
There are better Offsping tracks but this is fun. I've not heard it in ages.

I really wasn't expecting this today.
Some things get better with age but I'm not sure this song is one of them.

This is so bad! Like not even a fun nostalgia, just a painful one.

I will rate this song an 8 only if I get to cover the DJ with Cheez-Wiz while it's playing.
Sometimes you have to respond sternly to brazen displays of foolishness.
