If I were gonna figure out how to have a hit song, I think I would probably buy a giant white fur hat and leave the tag on it, and then get some Groucho Marx Glasses that were for a black guy. I would also become a black guy. Then I could make up a dance that isn’t really a dance and then write a song that only consists of me talking about myself and the dance. If I did ALL those things in the exact right order then I would be Humpty Hump and I would be so fucking cool that I can get some chick to hold my microphone while I rap. Or maybe my name would be Shock G. I can’t decide which is cooler.
I don’t know where he is now and I could not care less. He could be the CEO of BP for all I care. I just know that he once got busy in a Burger King bathroom. This week’s Friday 90’s has taught me three things.
- I count 1990 as part of the nineties (it was actually up for debate).
- I take requests (this one was from cornmeal)
- If you don’t like this song you are a racist and you love oil spills.
Digital Underground – The Humpty Dance
All right!
Stop whatcha doin’
’cause I’m about to ruin
the image and the style that ya used to.
I look funny
but yo I’m makin’ money see
so yo world I hope you’re ready for me.
Now gather round
I’m the new fool in town
and my sound’s laid down by the Underground.
I drink up all the Hennessey ya got on ya shelf
so just let me introduce myself
My name is Humpty, pronounced with a Umpty.
Yo ladies, oh how I like to hump thee.
And all the rappers in the top ten–please allow me to bump thee.
I’m steppin’ tall, y’all,
and just like Humpty Dumpty
you’re gonna fall when the stereos pump me.
I like to rhyme,
I like my beats funky,
I’m spunky. I like my oatmeal lumpy.
I’m sick wit dis, straight gangsta mack
but sometimes I get ridiculous
I’ll eat up all your crackers and your licorice
hey yo fat girl, c’mere–are ya ticklish?
Yeah, I called ya fat.
Look at me, I’m skinny
It never stopped me from gettin’ busy
I’m a freak
I like the girls with the boom
I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom
I’m crazy.
Allow me to amaze thee.
They say I’m ugly but it just don’t faze me.
I’m still gettin’ in the girls’ pants
and I even got my own dance
{Chorus:}
The Humpty Dance is your chance to do the hump
Do the Humpty Hump, come on and do the Humpty Hump
Do the Humpty Hump, just watch me do the Humpty Hump
Do ya know what I’m doin’, doin’ the Humpty Hump
Do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump
Verse Two:
People say “Yo, Humpty, you’re really funny lookin'”
that’s all right ’cause I get things cookin’
Ya stare, ya glare, ya constantly try to compare me
but ya can’t get near me
I give ’em more, see, and on the floor, B,
all the girls they adore me
Oh yes, ladies, I’m really bein’ sincere
’cause in a 69 my humpty nose will tickle ya rear.
My nose is big, uh-uh I’m not ashamed
Big like a pickle, I’m still gettin’ paid
I get laid by the ladies, ya know I’m in charge,
both how I’m livin’ and my nose is large
I get stoopid, I shoot an arrow like Cupid,
I use a word that don’t mean nothin’, like looptid
I sang on Doowhutchalike, and if ya missed it,
I’m the one who said just grab ’em in the biscuits
Also told ya that I like to bite
Well, yeah, I guess it’s obvious, I also like to write.
All ya had to do was give Humpty a chance
and now I’m gonna do my dance.
{Chorus}
Breakdown:
Oh, yeah, that’s the break, y’all
Let me hear a little bit of that bass groove right here
Oh, yeah!
Now that I told ya a little bit about myself
let me tell ya a little bit about this dance
It’s real easy to do–check it out
Verse Three:
First I limp to the side like my leg was broken
Shakin’ and twitchin’ kinda like I was smokin’
Crazy wack funky
People say ya look like M.C. Hammer on crack, Humpty
That’s all right ’cause my body’s in motion
It’s supposed to look like a fit or a convulsion
Anyone can play this game
This is my dance, y’all, Humpty Hump’s my name
No two people will do it the same
Ya got it down when ya appear to be in pain
Humpin’, funkin’, jumpin’,
jig around, shakin’ ya rump,
and when the dude a chump pump points a finger like a stump
tell him step off, I’m doin’ the Hump.
{Chorus}
Black people, do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump
White people, do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump
Puerto Ricans, do the Humpty Hump, just keep on doin’ the hump
Samoans, do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump
Let’s get stoopid!
{Chorus}
Oh, yeah, come on and break it down
Outro:
Once again, the Underground is in the house
I’d like to send a shout out to the whole world,
keep on doin’ the Humpty Dance,
and to the ladies,
peace and humptiness forever
{Music and fade}
Thank you for making every Friday an occasion to bleach my ears. This week, I also splashed bleach in my eyes, then I went to Burger King and got busy in the bathroom. Thank you. 🙂 You rule.

I count myself lucky that Humpty didn’t decide to start a religion, as he would probably enslave us all within weeks if he set his mind to it.
Man, that is come charisma.

Some charisma. Jeebus I should just get off the Internet.

’cause in a 69 my humpty nose will tickle ya rear’
When my son was in college he told what a popular dance this was. When he came home he tried to teach it to me. It was fun! BTW – thanks for visiting my blog!
Jesus! I thought I was the only one who knew about this song. Way to go Cornmeal!
OMG, I will LOVE this song for eternity!!
