Notes: Directed by Mark Anthony, Edited by Bradley Josiah and Produced by Calvin Harris.
Review:
Obviously produced by Calvin Harris as these are his beats/melody, which is great, but the lyrics are a bit corny, but then again, it's a club track. A little bit of cheese in his "Stand Up Tall" video worked well, but this is just too mainstream. It also doesn't match at all the Calvin Harris' chorus. Also somewhat disappointing video as it looks like it was filmed on a shoestring budget and for the first minute you think you're watching a Lemar video.
I wish Dizzee would stick to his underground stuff that he is best for. He's trying to go mainstream to suit more people's tastes and trying to be like Timberland with the way he makes songs with everyone under the sun.
Lyrics:
What's up darling? I've been keeping my eyes on your movements I can't see no room for improvement And why you're all alone over there on your jack jones You need to let me get behind your backbones Cus I'm the man for the job let me work it I won't waste no time I'll make it worth it 100 percent, i'll make it perfect you got a body to die for, let me merc it Now it's murder on the dance floor I want to take this further than the dance floor I aint forcefield but I'm still hardcore You're going to give me everything I ask for It's not a long ting, you're a boomting Maybe more than a hotel room ting I'll never know if I just walk past I really want to dance so I guess I'll just ask
She aint no oh Look at those thighs, it's in her eyes she's good to go She can satisfy my mind body and soul
Come and dance with me Come and dance with me Come and dance with me Come dance with me I see you glance at me That's why I'm asking B So let's party B Come and dance with me
If I'm out on my own Then I can look at you, looking at me If I'm out on a date Then I just shut my eyes, then I can't see Get away from the bar Tell your boyfriend to hold your jar And dance with me
Come dance with me That's why I'm asking B So let's party B Come and dance with me
Yo! It goes on and on I see you get excited like, this is my song You think I want to get involved, you're not wrong Cus I've been waiting for this moment all night long So I creep creep creep like TLC I've got my left eye checking out your scenery I've got my right eye right where it needs to be No matter how I look at it, you look good to me Still, I'm looking for the perfect view The way I see it that's right next to you I know you've probably heard it before but I still I love the way you flex like that for real So don't stop doing what you do when you do it I just wanna be a part of it when you do it I feel like a wolly if I don't pursue it And I can't go through it so let's go to it
She aint no oh Look at those thighs, it's in her eyes she's good to go She can satisfy my mind body and soul
Come and dance with me Come and dance with me Come and dance with me Come dance with me I see you glance at me That's why I'm asking B So let's party B Come and dance with me
I know you didn't come out to stand and stare You bought new shoes and you did up your hair You made a real effort tonight and it shows I can tell by your face you don't wanna be alone Cus the mood is right and the time is now And if you can't do it I'll show you how All you gotta do is get loose, let go Just spark up your shades, put your skills on show
Oh If I'm out on my own Then I can look at you, looking at me If I'm out on a date Then I just shut my eyes, then I can't see Get away from the bar Tell your boyfriend to hold your jar And dance with me
Come dance with me That's why I'm asking B So let's party B Come and dance with me
If I'm out on my own Then I can look at you, looking at me If I'm out on a date Then I just shut my eyes, then I can't see Get away from the bar Tell your boyfriend to hold your jar And dance with me
Featuring a cameo appearance from Mike Skinner (from The Streets, complete with his famous 3 day beard) at 1:27. This was one of the first songs where Dizzee decided to go mainstream as the lyrics have no relevence and no point to anything. Good tune, though whenever I see this on tv, it's always on MTV Dance. And this ain't a dance song really, but, as I said great tune and nice bassline. Plus the video is pretty funny too as they totally rip the hell out of X-Factor.
Lyrics:

I wasn't aware they made a video for this song. Definitely one of his best solo attempts. The song has a cool beat with some nice lyrics and it proves just why Dizzee was the God of the UK Grime scene. I forgot how talented the guy was in his early days. The rest of them are 5 years behind this guy. So basically, in terms of technological progression, He's China... N-Dubz are Kazakhstan. Despite the song being good, the version from his album is a lot better. Jeanine Jacques is annoying as it's obvious she's putting on a accent and showing how fake she is.
The song from 2:30 is called "Vexed" from the same album. "Vexed" was a bonus track from the American release, so if you haven't heard of the song, that's probably why. IMO, I think Vexed's beat is a little better, but both songs are pretty tight. This sort of tune is what Dizzee should still be doing, I mean the stuff he's done more recently has been good, but it's nothing compared to these classics. Anyways, despite Dizzee being amazing, his music videos are really sub par, as he really needs to have a creative director that matches him.
Fun Fact: "I Luv U" is actually the first song Dizzee wrote and produced, when as a 15 year old, his teacher noticed how into music he was and gave him permission to use the school computer labs to work.
I Luv You Lyrics:
I luv u III...I..I..I Luv u I luv I Luv I Luv U III...I..I..I Luv u III...I..I..I Luv u

[CHORUS]
Vexed Lyrics:
[Dizzee Rascal] Hey, listen, take nothing I don't want to hear anymore talk, you get me, no more talk Ive heard their talk, that Dizzee Rascal's so rude People talking don't even know me I do what I want, you get me (and ask no one for nothing) I ain't everyone's friend Ok, I don't wanna get vexed That's why I'm just trying to keep my cool, you get me I don't want to lose it, I can't believe I got people chattin' shit I'll never watch what I say I say what the fuck I want, I don't care who you are I don't care who I offend or nothing I won't be silenced!
I'm showing you my life's more deep than you think (uh huh) At nights, I get a little less sleep than you think (really) Something keeps me up, I can't even get a wink And there's no point in trying, so I lay there and blink
I'm showing you, I feel more stressed than you see But my business is my business and I keep it all to me I've done a lot of work for you to see me where I be But lately I sense you don't want to set me free
And lately, there's been controversy seen around my name (ok) But fuck you cause I ain't playing your game (naw) I ain't chewed my language, they ain't used to it (ok) But I ain't, you can't get me so (get me) get used to it
Cause I was raised an only child, not a brother, not a sis And raised around hate, not a hug, not a kiss (naw) Before this I was just a failure in the mist And I made it through the front, I cant let you take a piss, so...
[Chorus] I don't wanna get vexed And I don't wanna lose my cool But I ain't gonna let that boy come around, try take me for no fool I ain't gonna let that boy come around, I'm reaching for my tool I ain't gonna let that boy get flash, I'll smash his head on the wall
So, I don't wanna get vexed And I don't wanna lose my rag But I aint gonna let that boy come around try to take me for no slag I ain't gonna let that boy come around and run his gums you're mad I'll probably have him thinking I'm fake, I'll make his family sad
[Dizzee Rascal] I do the fuck what I want, that's how I got here And I'll be damned if I let you fussies interfere And if I had my way, you wouldn't even get near I don't need your help, do I make myself clear?!?
I know it sounds rude, that's because it's meant to be (ok) I plan to be the rudest boy in this industry (ok) Ain't two-faced, and I ain't known to gloat (ok) If I don't like you, then I'll tell you to your throat
I don't know what you want, I don't know what you expect But if I don't know you, don't ask me for respect I don't give it easily, I don't give it much And I ain't got a heart, so don't ever try and touch
All these pigs runnin' ?round like I owe them (ok) Before I got big, I didn't even know them (ok) I'll be doing this for a whole lot a' years (ok) And I'll be standing tall and straight when the smoke clears So...
[Chorus]
[Dizzee Rascal] Yo I'm the type of boy that takes the bump with the grind (ok) And I'm the type of boy to take your girl from behind (ok) I'm the type of boy your girl wants me to be (she told me) So don't act a prick, cause it don't suit me (ok)
You could boil me up and you can even shoot me (ok) But if your girl's lettin' up, then it's my duty (ok) I ain't trying to keep your wifey, truthfully (ok) But it ain't my fault your girlfriend's a groupie
Be careful what you ask for, you could change your mind (ok) And what you're looking for, you won't like what you find (ok) If you're looking for the pussy, if you're looking for the chat I'll remind you that curiosity killed the cat (ok)
Plus Girls are telling lies, and they spreading like the plague (ok) What else can I do except keep myself made (ok) I don't know why these girls are trying to attack me, (ok) But I'm a rude boy, I won't let nobody trap me, so...
Say what you want about Dizzee going mainstream, but at least he has great taste in cars. The music is so original, it's a shame the video is not, which is surprising because this looks like the first Dizzee video where he had a big budget to play with. You can probably say that no 3 minute 10 second song has had more words in it. Just how the hell can that boy rap rap so fast? Some good beats in this one and also love the electronica. Oh, and LOL @ "I'll stretch your arsehole without straining" That's quite an unpleasant sentiment. I don't think I'd like to hang out with Mr. Rascal. Now I understand why those girls were dancing like that... poor things!
I like the British spin he put on an American staple in the video, since American rappers make videos showing girls gettin out of cars with spinning rims and since Dizzee is proud to be British, he's takin it off by putting spinnin rims on a really British looking car and having 'London' put on the sign. It's so fugly that its actually cool.
Fun Fact: This song was heard in 40 Year Old Virgin before that drunk chick pukes in his mouth.
