What is she saying?
[permalink]

2oceansvibe has become addicted to Nelly Furtado's song, Maneater. We are nostalgic and excited at the same time. We think back to the original 'Maneater', sung by Hall and Oates. Yes, you heard me correctly. They were called 'Hall & Oates'. Let me show you a little picture of our boys.

Seriously, we're on the guest list

I know. Don't say anything. Just enjoy it with me.

Anyway, you might remember that tune went something like, "Ooooh here she comes, watch out boy, she'll chew you up. Oooooh here she comes..... she's a man eater". Don't remember? Skip to the next paragraph.

But now we have a new version that makes me breakdance on the spot. If there isn't room to breakdance then I simply bounce on the spot with my right arm extended straight up with my index finger pointing to the sky.

Nelly eats men for breakfast

I know you all want to know what she is saying in the new chorus. So here it is:

Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all, of her love
She's a maneater
make you buy cars
make you cut cards
make you fall real hard in love
She's a Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all, of her love
She's a maneater
make you buy cars
make you cut cards
Wish you never ever met her at all!

In a recent interview, Nelly Furtado admitted to taking a secret trip to Cape Town where she wrote the song. She would like to thank the private school Constantia mothers and daughters for their input.
