LIZZO CHANGES LYRIC IN BEASTIE BOYS-SAMPLING SINGLE 'GRRLS' AFTER BACKLASH OVER THE WORD 'SPAZ'
Lizzo dropped “GRRRLS” last week, which uses a sample of the 1986 Beastie Boys’ single “Girls” from the trio’s debut Licensed To Ill. Had those offended by “spaz” been more familiar with the song’s origins, they’d probably be more outraged by the lyrics Ad-Rock, MCA and Mike D were spitting at a time when misogyny, offensive language and sexism was basically celebrated. Live shows of that era featured women in cages dancing onstage and a giant hydraulic penis.
“Girls, to do the dishes,” they rapped. “Girls, to clean up my room/Girls, to do the laundry/Girls, and in the bathroom/Girls, that’s all I really want is girls/Two at a time, I want girls/With new wave hairdos, I want girls/I ought to whip out my...”
As for “GRRRLS,” Lizzo originally sings,
Bitches, uh
Bitches, uh, uh-huh
Hold my bag, bitch (girls)
