Zombie Slide Lyrics

(x2)
Wake the dead
Wake the dead
Wake the dead up
Wake the dead

Get up!
Rest in peace!?
WHAT!? (Zombie Slide)
Fuck that!
Jump with the boom! (Zombie)
Rest in pandemonium bitch! (Slide)
Get up!
In fact, don't even rest! (Zombie Slide)
Get the fuck up and bust something sweet!
Jump with the bang!
Wake them dead ass feet!

[Verse 1: Violent J]
When I die, it's time to celebrate
All love, escape the hella hate
First thing Imma do is start rocking
In the casket, pop locking
Dirt, dust, chipping away the rust
With these freaky moves that I bust
Imma pop out, rock out with my cock out
Monster Mash all across the grass
Fandango on the top of tombstones
Wake up them pile of bones
Foot Float right up out the graveyard
In the street, Crab Walking, way hard
Cars stop, what the fuck is going on!?
Dead bodies dancing on the lawn
Do the Sprinkler, do the Superman
Get stoopid, that's the plan
[Hook]
Get up!
Jump with the boom!
Zombie Slide up out your tomb
Can you fuck it up like us? (Zombie)
Can you freak the moves that we bust? (Slide)
Get up!
Jump with the bang!
Zombie Slide and do your thang!
Can you fuck it up like us? (Zombie)
Can you freak the moves that we bust? (Slide)

[Verse 2: Shaggy 2 Dope]
When I die (What?), please don't cry any (Why?)
Cuz I'm popping up and doing the Shimmy
Fuck heaven and hell, they can both wait
I'm getting live, freaking the snake
My left eyeball hangs outta my face
When I'm Krumping at a murderous pace
Police shooting at me, I bust the Hitchhike
I break it down any way you like
You don't even know what the fuck is going on
(What they call that?) I'm mowing the lawn
Ya wanna pop me, try to drop me
Backspin into a kickstand, they can't stop me
Look at me fucking up Air Guitar
Death ain't shit, so there you are
We live forever, so there you go
J-U-Double-G-A-L-O
[Hook]

Wake the dead
Wake the dead
Wake the dead up
Wake the dead

Come on!

[Hook]

In a post on ICP’s website, Violent J wrote:

The beat Mike E. Clark made for this song, ordered us to make this a funky dead body dance song. While this song might be similar to Headless Boogie, when you’ve got 15 albums out like we do, that shit’s just gonna happen. Some songs are gonna touch on firmilar subjects. I could say this song was also inspired by Michael Jackson’s thriller video, and I probably should, but honestly we didn’t make the comparison until after the song was done. Mike’s beat told us what this song was about and that’s how it came to be. Hopefully the song sheds some light on death if that’s even possible. Something just feels good about saying “fuck dying, when I die I’m gonna bust a fuckin dance”. I cant explain it, but it even feels good to type that. That’s what the music said and we wrote it as such. “Fuck heaven and hell, they can both wait, when I die, I’m freakin the snake”. I think my favorite Shaggy 2 Dope line in the song is “My left eyeball hangs outta my face, when I’m crumpin’ at a murderous pace”. I heard stories about a Juggalo that passed from a car crash on the way home from the Gathering a couple years back. I hope in some crazy way this song makes his people feel better. If even for a brief second of stupidity, we just wanted to take some of the grim out of death and leave you with the possibility that maybe while we’re grieving over a lost loved one, he or she is up there bustin a foot float waitin for us.

Also, in an interview with The A.V. club, he said:

Just like “Headless Boogie.” When I’m writing, sometimes I go to this place where the dead are partying it up. Where the dead are, I don’t know, I can’t explain it. The dead are there, and I guess there’s so much fear around being dead… I have a lot of fear of dying, you know? I think I get joy out of making music painting that picture where there is no fear of death, where it goes on after death. I got a lot of songs like that, songs about dying, and you’re still alive, but your body’s falling apart. Your limbs are falling off, and you’re still alive though. You could probably put a whole album together of songs that we made touching on this topic, on what happens when you die. “I Found A Body” and things like that. Songs that touch on death. Death is, fuck, man, how can people not…? Death is it. I mean, every song should be about death. I don’t know, it’s the ending, or it’s the beginning, or whatever the fuck it is, but it’s a powerful, powerful thing, man.
