Do the Bartman

Do The Bartman (Jackson,Loren) - 4:01
 
  Présentation  :
Do the Bartman est un single de rap sorti en 1990. Nancy Cartwright, la voix originale de Bart Simpson en est l'interprète.Le titre eu un grand succès dans de nombreux pays (Australie, Irlande,Royaume-Uni, Norvège...).Le son est proche d'un mix entre "She Got It" et "Work That Body".La chanson est mélange de rap,de funk et de R&B. Le son peut rappeler "Syperflu Sister". 
Le clip, réalisé par Brad Bird et chorégraphié par Michael Chambers, se déroule lors d'un spectacle de l'école élémentaire de Springfield où Bart, une nouvelle fois rebelle, fait irruption en rappant et dansant. Le clip, la musique et les pas de danse sont très inspirés de Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson, grand fan de la série Les Simpson, aurait appelé Matt Groening afin de lui offrir un tube pour Bart, son personnage préféré. La chanson est co-écrite et co-produite avec Bryan Loren, un ami, mais le nom de Jackson reste caché : il est en contrat sous un autre label.
Lors de la saison 3, en 1991, Jackson est encore là (sous le pseudonyme de John Jay Smith) pour prêter sa voix à Leon Kompowsky dans Mon pote Michael Jackson et écrire la chanson "Happy birthday Lisa"

  Les Paroles  :

Bart:
Yo! Hey what's hap
pening dude?
I'm a guy
with a rep for bein' rude.
Terroriz
in' people wherever I go,
It
's not intentional, just keepin' the flow.
Fixin' te
st scores to get the best scores,
Droppin' ban
ana peels all over the floor,
I'm the
kid that made delinquency an art,
Last name, Simpson;
first name, Bart.
I'm h
ere today to introduce the next phase,
The next
step in the big Bart craze.
I got a dan
ce, real easy to do,
I learn
ed it with no rhythm and so can you!
So move yo
ur body, if you got the notion,
Fro
nt to back in a rock-like motion.
Now that you got it, if you think you can,
Do
it to the music, that's the Bartman

Back-up S
ingers:
Ev
erybody if you can, do the Bartman!
Shake you body, turn it out, if you can, man!
Move you butt to the side, yes you can, can!
Ev
erybody in the house, do the Bartman

Bar
t:
It wasn't long
ago, just a couple of weeks,
I got in tr
ouble, yeah, pretty deep.
Homer wa
s yellin', mom was, too,
Because I
put mothballs in the beef stew.
Pu
nishment time, in the air lurks gloom,
Sittin'
by myself, confined to my room.
When all else
fails, nothin' else left to do,
I tu
rn on the music, so I can feel the groove!

Back-up Si
ngers:
Move your body, if
you got the notion,
Fr
ont to back in a rock-like motion.
Move your h
ips from side to side now,
Don't ya slip, l
et your feet glide now.
If
you've got the groove, you gotta use it.
Rock
rhythm in time with the music.
You j
ust might start a chain reaction...

Bart: If you can d

Bart:
Oh my ear

You can't touch this!
I didn't do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can't prove anything.
Now
, I'm in the house feelin' good to be home,
'
Til Lisa starts blowin' her damn saxophone.
And if it was mine, you know they'd take it away,
But still I'm feelin' good, so that's okay.
I'm up
in my room, just a-singin' a song,
Listenin' to the kicks while I'm kickin' along.
Yeah
, Lisa likes jazz, she's her number one fan,
But I know I'm bad, 'cause I do the Bartman!
