THE SEAN PAUL-OFF

Yes, it is true. Pregnant Jo-Jo and I have challenged each other to a Sean Paul off to be judged by our work makes in the office of Katharine Hamnett. The rules are basic:

1] Pick a Sean Paul song
2] Learn it off by heart
3] Karoke it over one lunch break while interpreting "being Sean Paul".
4] The one most like Sean Paul wins

At first Jo-Jo chose "Punky" because she learnt the Spanish parts once when she was learning Spanish. I already heard her sing it. I decided that I was going to learn "Like Glue" cause it had the most stupid stuff in it. And it was going to double as my romantic wedding anniversary show to my ex-husband. I'm glad I was so excited I blurted it out, cause he said "I think I would feel weird that you sang Like Glue to me considering our circumstances." Regardless of my loser ex's lack of enthusiasm the Sean Paul-Off goes ahead.

Something that I can agree on with my ex is the awesomeness of this song:



I love it when it comes on my iPod in the morning on the bus. If you want to learn the words and sing along, here they are:

Que bueno que rico que lindo
Paris Latino
Que bueno que rico que lindo
Paris Latino
Bandolero rock
Bandolero shock
Bandolero rock
Bandolero shock
Que bueno que rico que lindo
Paris Latino
Que bueno que rico que lindo
Paris Latino

Joséphine blanche, robe rouge et noire
Danse avec le reflet du miroir
Arrivé direct from Mexico, Don Diego de La Vega
Z comme Zorro
Ça se bouscule dans les couloirs
Les poseurs, les voyeurs
Tous ceux qui aiment s'faire voir
Tout le monde est là
Même ceux qu'on n'attend pas, la playmate du mois
Miss Cha Cha Cha

Oh Miss Cha Cha Cha
Miss Cha Cha Cha
Miss Cha Cha Cha
Que linda esta
Au milieu de tout ça, il y a nous, il y a moi
Et (don't forget me, I'm doctor B)
Verre sur verre de Cuba Libre
(Don't forget me, I'm doctor B)
Verre sur verre de Cuba Libre
(Doctor B… that's me)

Yes, yes show
You don't stop
Come on come on
Let's see rock rock
Yo lady don't you see
You better watch yourself with Doctor B

Que bueno que rico que lindo
Paris Latino
Que bueno que rico que lindo
Paris Latino
Bandolero rock
Bandolero shock
Bandolero rock
Bandolero shock
Que bueno que rico que lindo
Paris Latino
Que bueno que rico que lindo
Paris Latino

Joséphine blanche, robe rouge et noire
Amoureuse folle du reflet dans le miroir
Reparti direct to Mexico, Don Diego de La Vega
Sa cape son bandeau
Plus personne dans les couloirs
Les poseurs, les voyeurs sont allés se faire voir
Odeur de tabac, de cendriers froids
Les parfums sucrés de Miss Cha Cha Cha

Oh Miss Cha Cha Cha
Miss Cha Cha Cha
Miss Cha Cha Cha
Que linda esta
Au milieu de tout ça, il y a nous, il y a moi
Et (don't forget me, I'm doctor B)
Verre brisé de Cuba Libre
(Don't forget me, I'm doctor B)
Verre brisé de Cuba Libre
(Doctor B… that's me)

Yes, yes show
You don't stop
Come on come on
Let's see rock rock
Yo lady can't you see
You better watch yourself with Doctor B

(Party!)
I'm gonna make you move, (get down)
I'm do the let us groove, (don't stop)
Just kick off the shoes (hit the top)

And begin to groove (party!)

I don't waste no time (get down)
I get drunk on wine (don't stop)

It's time to score (hit the top)
So what you're waiting for

Now it's my time to rap for you
So let's go to the show shack room
It won't take much time
But have in mind
That we're a brand new band
And we're so divine
No time for rock n' roll
Cause roll don't rock
And rock don't roll
We got some hot that'll hit the spot
Something brand new but not made of rock
We're gonna rock the East, we're gonna rock the West
We're gonna rock the girls and put them to the test
And we'll rock you, but don't forget
That what we make is designed to be best
Get down!


This song is nearly better than "Poupee Flash" by 1ere Classe that Paul and I covered in our band The Fonts. But not quite.

I'm off to Australia tomorrow so more from Down Under laterz.

P.S. I promise that you will have "Don't forget me I'm Doctor B!" stuck in your head for days!
