This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Do you feel that? Oh, shit.
Wah-ah-ah-ah
Wah-ah-ah-ah
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother, get up, come on get down with the sickness
You fucker, get up, come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift that has been given to me
I can see inside you the sickness is rising
It seems that all that was good has died
Oh no, the world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me, in me
Wah-ah-ah
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother, get up, come on get down with the sickness
You fucker, get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate and let it flow into me
Why can't you just buck up and die?
Get down with the sickness
Fuck you, I don't need this shit
Get down with the sickness
You stupid, sadistic, abusive fucking whore
Get down with the sickness
Here it comes
Get ready to die
Get ready to, die
Wah-ah-ah-ah
Wah-ah-ah-ah
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother, get up, come on get down with the sickness
You fucker, get up, come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift that has been given to me
I can see inside you the sickness is rising
It seems that all that was good has died
Oh no, the world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me, in me
Wah-ah-ah
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother, get up, come on get down with the sickness
You fucker, get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate and let it flow into me
Why can't you just buck up and die?
Get down with the sickness
Fuck you, I don't need this shit
Get down with the sickness
You stupid, sadistic, abusive fucking whore
Get down with the sickness
Here it comes
Get ready to die
Get ready to, die

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
"get ready to die" is the funniest part b/c of the way its sung.
I believe it is on par with it, Richard Cheese is a good musician to listen to because he obviously doesn't take what he does that seriously, you know; He does it for the fun of it.
puppet_master_72, it's awesome if you forget about how the original sounds and just focus on what Richard's singing. I mean, imagine your mom singing along to this!
MOM: "You fucker, get up, come on get down with the sickness..."
It makes me laugh every time...
Richard Cheese takes music to the next level. His satire and parodies of music is really quite hilarious and quite unique. I prefer Richard over Weird Al just because he takes the song and creates an entire new genre to it and pokes fun at the reality of the original song.
wow this song actually sounds better than the original, this song makes a great lounge tune, the lyrics and the beat all seem to flow to make this one of the best adaptations of a song to a different genre i've ever heard
i agree, this version is much better than the original. Its so funny, the words do not match the beat and the way the song is sung. Richard cheese is the funniest thing since weird al
okay you two guys suck because although it may be a cool version there is no way its better than the original
The song is funny because it is just so obscure with Cheese singing this.
i love it when this song is in the dawn of the dead remake, it makes me laugh..so good..
i love it because it waaay takes the piss out of all of those gay songs. when you put the lyrics to a different style of music you realise how stupid and meaningless the lyrics actually are. anyhoo i love this song so much
