What does/translation 'fremme neppa venette' mean? It is a line used in her new song, "Work It"

For fuck's sake. You know, it's fun and all to tease these googlers with joke answers, but I gotta put my foot down:

SHE DOES NOT SAY "FREMME NEPPA VENETTE". Some retard transcribed that as a lyric, but it is, in fact, "I put my game down flip it and reverse it" played BACKWARDS.

Except, except, except... on Top of the Pops ("the world's longest running/most watched/whatever chart TV show") the official BBC subtitles had that lyric as "FREMME NEPPA VENETTE"! Explain that...

it's a scizzam, people! these are members of missy's "net team" trying to generate popular interest thru a process of spamulation!

TOTP Explained:

On record it _is_ "Put my thang down flip it and reverse it" backwards.

Live, Missy and co have learned to say something that sounds like that backwards noise, which is what TOTP put up as a subtitle. How did they come up with the transcription's exact spelling?

The internet!!!

but wasn't she great on TOTP last night.

It's the intro to "Layla" played backwards.

Missy and that other MC most certainly did say 'fremme neppa venette' on TOTP. i guess they've reasoned "if you can't beat 'em...."

If they had made a fremme neppa venette reference in the Missy Workout Video skit on SNL last saturday I would've surely LOST IT.

I WANT TO BELIEVE!!!!!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 16 November 2002 22:15 (twenty-three years ago)

urge to correct vs knowledge that they will never return for answer

― boxcubed (boxcubed), Saturday, 16 November 2002 22:21 (twenty-three years ago)

no i mean that "fremme neppa venette" are actually the words now!!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 16 November 2002 22:26 (twenty-three years ago)

why doesnt someone download "flip it and reverse it" play it backwards then post the download? just for kicks

― brian armstrong, Sunday, 17 November 2002 23:47 (twenty-three years ago)

you can hear the track with the reversed parts reversed (at least the first instances of them) on a new mix by DJ Spec - http://www.base58.com/spec_yellowmix_part2_hi.mp3
