The Barenaked Ladies had a song with some of the lyrics of all time such as
"Chickity China the Chinese chicken/
Have a drumstick and your brain starts clickin'"^1
"Like Harrison Ford, I'm getting frantic/
Like Sting, I'm tantric/
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy/
Like Kurosawa, I make mad films, 'kay, I don't make films/
But if I did they'd have a Samurai"^2
^1 a reference to A Tribe Called Quest
^2 a bunch more references
The song has an "Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" style reference humour thrown at the listener in a rapid fire fashion. References ranging from Japanese cinema to classic hip hop to the Kāmasūtra to DC comics.
Can you explain it? Is it lyrics or something?
