The text reads "Drop it like it's hot"
I'm perplexed.

Name of a Snoop Dogg song.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 23 June 2005 13:48 (twenty years ago)

I know that, I just fail to see the correlation between Snoop and Ralph Wiggum.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 23 June 2005 13:49 (twenty years ago)

I think this might in fact be the point.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 23 June 2005 13:49 (twenty years ago)

Is Ralph wearing a unitard and leg warmers?

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 23 June 2005 13:54 (twenty years ago)

MUST. HAVE. THIS. NOW.
I don't care if it's for women, it's the coolest shirt EVAR.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Thursday, 23 June 2005 13:58 (twenty years ago)

I don't know, but I've had this song stuck in my head all morning, before I even opened the thread. Nick and I were singing it at the breakfast table, but we don't know most of the words, so it was mostly gibberish.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 23 June 2005 14:10 (twenty years ago)

"Blah bluh blah blah, drop it like it's hot, drop it like it's hot, drop it like it's hot, I'm rollin' in the phom and the phom is shom jom and the jam jam lam cuz I got it goin' on."

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 23 June 2005 14:13 (twenty years ago)

I would pay up to TWO DOLLARS to go to that concert.

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 23 June 2005 14:21 (twenty years ago)

Target was selling a special Valentine's Day series of t-shirts, mostly with cutesy sardonic text, but there was one that said merely "I bring nothing to the table" with no pictures or anything. I bought it.

― Aaron A., Thursday, 23 June 2005 14:26 (twenty years ago)

target has some good t shirts, i picked up a hendrix one the other week. real minimal design. but i hate getting compliments on my clothing from complete strangers so i havent worn it again. there was also a 'jamaican me crazy green' one that i almost got. seeing how i used to wear all sorts of vintage dime store tshirts until that whole look got all played out, these tshirts are sort of nice (and new and clean!) and i havent listend to snoop since i heard dilih. what a boring song

― kephm (kephm), Thursday, 23 June 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

When you see it, you hear the voice, and that is why it is good.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 23 June 2005 14:39 (twenty years ago)

The phom is shom jom

I'm dying here.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Thursday, 23 June 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

I saw some of Snoop Dogg's show last night. Is he really married with 3 kids? Or was that just a joke?

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 23 June 2005 15:38 (twenty years ago)

He coaches his son's football team!

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Thursday, 23 June 2005 15:54 (twenty years ago)

Now I'm imagining Ralph Wiggum saying "When the pimp's in the crib ma!" I want this t-shirt.

Also n/a's version totally just made me snarf!

― sgs (sgs), Thursday, 23 June 2005 16:21 (twenty years ago)

I don't understand what's so funny about it! I'm too lazy to learn the lyrics, so that's how I sing it!

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 23 June 2005 16:22 (twenty years ago)

I have never understood the "phom is shom jom" part either! After "I got the rollies on my arm," it makes about as much sense as what lyrics probably there.

― sgs (sgs), Thursday, 23 June 2005 16:29 (twenty years ago)

lyrics ARE probably

― sgs (sgs), Thursday, 23 June 2005 16:30 (twenty years ago)

"pourin Chandon" i believe

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 23 June 2005 16:38 (twenty years ago)

Nick and Sarah make up the best nonsense to sing EVER.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Thursday, 23 June 2005 16:40 (twenty years ago)

Rollies = Rolex, I assume.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Thursday, 23 June 2005 16:54 (twenty years ago)

I had assumed Rolex too... now I also infer that Chandon is a fancy champagne.

― sgs (sgs), Thursday, 23 June 2005 17:06 (twenty years ago)

Educational!

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 23 June 2005 17:16 (twenty years ago)

Actually, I always thought "shom jom" = Sean John.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 23 June 2005 17:16 (twenty years ago)

I believe Ralph Wiggum has donned his sweatbands and unitard for the purpose of dancing / dropping it like it's hot.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 23 June 2005 17:27 (twenty years ago)

(Also TAPPA TAPPA TAPPA just doesn't have the same cultural resonance as Snoop does.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 23 June 2005 17:28 (twenty years ago)

DAMN THIS THREAD I HAVE NOW HAD THIS SONG IN MY HEAD THE ENTIRE DAY AND I DON'T KNOW THE LYRICS

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 23 June 2005 17:29 (twenty years ago)

I'm so glad I've never heard it. Whew!

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 23 June 2005 17:32 (twenty years ago)

It's an awesome song. It just sucks to have the 30 seconds of it I can remember on a constant loop in my brain.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 23 June 2005 17:36 (twenty years ago)

now I also infer that Chandon is a fancy champagne

A la Moet & Chandon

― Candicissima (candicissima), Thursday, 23 June 2005 17:39 (twenty years ago)

the vintage homer t shirt at target is awsome. good deals there.

― AaronK (AaronK), Thursday, 23 June 2005 19:17 (twenty years ago)

Oh I can't wait for the new Target to open.

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Thursday, 23 June 2005 19:27 (twenty years ago)

I wondered if that line was "wearing sean john"!

― sgs (sgs), Thursday, 23 June 2005 19:37 (twenty years ago)

When the pimp's in the crib, ma (drop it like it's hot)
When the pigs try to get at you (park it like it's hot)
And if a nigga catch an attitude (pop it like it's hot)
Got the Rollie on my arm
And I'm pourin' Chandon
And I roll the best weed
'Cuz I got it goin' on

It kind of boggles me that people can't actually make this out.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 June 2005 19:47 (twenty years ago)

I didn't put much effort into it.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 23 June 2005 19:48 (twenty years ago)

I got it after one listen and I never pay attention to lyrics!

MISTER MAN.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 23 June 2005 19:52 (twenty years ago)

What if I have no idea what "got the rollie on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon" means? (Seriously, there's a whole class of liquors that I only know via rap lyrics.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 23 June 2005 19:52 (twenty years ago)

Moet & Chandon has great ads.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 23 June 2005 19:54 (twenty years ago)

Speaking of which, what is being said during the psuedo-Swahili part of "Somebody Told Me"?

Somebody told me
That you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
A semme me nuh pay now (???)

(xpost: I thought "Rollie" as slang for "Rolex" was common slang but a good 75% of my friends were also baffled as to what a Rollie was, including my wife.)

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 June 2005 19:54 (twenty years ago)

What if I have no idea what "got the rollie on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon" means
=Snoop has money.
Dan, I think that line is "that I had in Feb-eyoo-ary oflastyear"

― sgs (sgs), Thursday, 23 June 2005 19:56 (twenty years ago)

Liquor-wise there was this brief period where I kind of enjoyed Alize -- you know, that sweet cognac and fruit juice mess -- and then suddenly it was all over B96 and I felt confused. I thought I was just buying random weird crap at the liquor store, but it turned out I was totally balling big-style.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 23 June 2005 19:56 (twenty years ago)

Haha! I had just looked up the lyrics and really, there's no fucking way he's mumbling what is claimed.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 June 2005 19:57 (twenty years ago)

XPOST:

I was totally balling big-style.
I was totally balling big-style.
I was totally balling big-style.
I was totally balling big-style.
I was totally balling big-style.
I was totally balling big-style.

I was totally balling big-style.

― The Ghost of HIDE YR DAUGHTERS (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 June 2005 19:58 (twenty years ago)

zposts though usually I scat along until the part that goes "But I just don't KNOW NOW..." just cuz he slurs.

― sgs (sgs), Thursday, 23 June 2005 19:58 (twenty years ago)

Ah Alize...and Hypnotiq...and all that crap. Anyone had Everglo? That stuff is like neon green liquid crack.

― Candicissima (candicissima), Thursday, 23 June 2005 20:00 (twenty years ago)

=Snoop has money.

Oh, I get that. But in order to draw that conclusion, I would first have to know what the words "rollie" and "chandon" meant.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 23 June 2005 20:01 (twenty years ago)

Somebody told me
That you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
We're falling from ecstacy
And you deserve us Leviathan
You deserve us Leviathan

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Thursday, 23 June 2005 20:04 (twenty years ago)

I'd like to hear n/a's rendition of Snoop feat. Justin Timberlake, "Signs," since I've had it in my head since I woke up today, and I know far fewer of the lyrics in it.

― sgs (sgs), Thursday, 23 June 2005 20:06 (twenty years ago)

I adore Alize! I was unaware til now that I was balling big-style.

xpost I've had that in my head all day too. She's looking in my eyes/Nah-see-oh-A-highs/Are you telling me this is a sign/don't think about it boy leave her alone/AHoooo/Who A to Z

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 23 June 2005 20:08 (twenty years ago)

(I've only heard part of it, once.)

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 23 June 2005 20:09 (twenty years ago)

Actually, you can get there without knowing:

1) A "rollie" is something you wear on your arm.
2) "Chandon" is liquid, probably a beverage.
3) He rolls the best weed! If he's mentioning the best weed on the same level as the undefined "rollie" and "chandon", those must be the best of their class, too.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 June 2005 20:09 (twenty years ago)

I don't believe I have actually heard that song, sorry. I understand from my friends that it is "hot" though. I pretty much stopped listening to the radio once our car stereo got stolen, and that was more than a year ago. The only reason I heard "Drop It Like It's Hot" is because it was on a mix jaymc gave me.

― Rollie Chandon (Nick A.), Thursday, 23 June 2005 20:10 (twenty years ago)

(oh my god, I am Steve.n's boss.)

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 23 June 2005 20:10 (twenty years ago)

haha! time for an alannah myles/snoop dogg medley.

― sgs (sgs), Thursday, 23 June 2005 20:15 (twenty years ago)

What if I have no idea what "got the rollie on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon" means? (Seriously, there's a whole class of liquors that I only know via rap lyrics.)

Not a Queen fan then? I wonder if Snoop keeps his Moet & Chandon in a pretty cabinet.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 24 June 2005 08:38 (twenty years ago)

How come no-one has said that Moet et Chandon is pretty pissy champagne?

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 24 June 2005 08:54 (twenty years ago)

Mark, do you have some kind of alarm system that goes off whenever anyone mentions Queen?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 24 June 2005 08:55 (twenty years ago)

How come no-one has said that Moet et Chandon is pretty pissy champagne?

No-one wants to let on that they're that au fait with champagne. Any champagne is better than none in my book, but I agree. If I had Snoop's money I'd probably splash out on some vintage Krug.

When my girlfriend first heard Drop It Like It's Hot (out of someone's car in a Wal-mart parking lot), she thought Snoop was saying "park it like a clown, park it like a clown" for some reason. I can never not think of this when I hear the tune.

― Jordan (Jordan), Sunday, 14 August 2005 20:53 (twenty years ago)

I never understood what "park it like it's hot" or "pop it like it's hot," mean. Why would you want to park if the cops were following you? I guess the other one could be like pop (the bitch ass nigga or whatever) in the face, but I don't understand why "like it's hot).

― Hurting (Hurting), Sunday, 14 August 2005 21:09 (twenty years ago)

There was this cute little "What It Feels Like" thing in Esquire about smoking weed with Willie Nelson, and then with Snoop, and comparing. Willie's weed made him feel happy and relaxed. Snoop's weed layed him out in the back seat of his car, tripping and numb and unable to move for about nine hours. The lesson: Willie's your man.

Seriously thanks to that post I probably said "I'm rollin' in the phom and the phom is shom jom" 2005 times in 2005.

wait--what could possibly be bad about that?

i'm not convinced that the lyrics n/a quoted are not, in fact, the actual lyrics.
