"Why you gotta be so rude? Don't you know I'm human too?" Are these lines familiar to you? They're lines from the song entitled "Rude" by the Canadian reggae fusion band Magic! It is the band's debut single on their studio album Don't Kill the Magic.
What is so special with this song that I made a fuss about it? Well, blame the song’s total creativity. This song was indeed magically made by the band as if it was created to be adored by everyone (maybe not everyone but a LOT of people). Since this single was released by the group, it has become one of the chart-topping songs and has dominated some of the world’s top music charts including the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Denmark and of course, Canada where the band originated.
The song is so simple yet so remarkable. With its catchy lyrics and groovy reggae-pop tune, you can’t help but listen to it over and over again. In fact, 4Music, a popular music and entertainment channel in the United Kingdom, applauded Rude saying, “One listen and you will be hooked.” So we indeed got hooked, right? With a huge number of plays it has on various radio stations worldwide plus its surprising number of views in YouTube (which is approximately 117M as of the time this was written), this song is definitely some kind of a big hit. Oh, did I mention that it has also become the most downloaded music in iTunes?
The Magic of Rude
So the song is about some guy who wants to propose to his girlfriend. He put on his best suit and went to his girlfriend’s father to ask for her hand but the girlfriend’s father is a jerk and said “No”. That’s why he called him Rude. Here’s the lyrics of the song:
Saturday morning jumped out of bed and
put on my best suit
Got in my car and raced like a jet, all the way to you
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
To ask you a question
'Cause I know that you're an old fashioned man yeah yeah
Can I have your daughter for the rest
of my life? (Say yes, say yes)
'Cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing till the day I die
Tough luck my friend but the answer is no!
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too
Why you gotta be so rude
I'm gonna marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) Marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) Yeah no matter what you say
(Marry that girl) And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
I hate to do this, you leave no choice
I can't live without her
Love me or hate me we will be boys
Standing at that alter
Or we will run away
To another galaxy you know
You know she's in love with me
She will go anywhere I go
Can I have your daughter for the rest
of my life? (Say yes, say yes)
'Cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing till the day I die
Tough luck my friend cause the answer's still no!
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too
Why you gotta be so rude
I'm gonna marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) Marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) Yeah no matter what you say
(Marry that girl) And we'll be a family
Why
you gotta be so rude?
Of course, this will not be complete if you won’t hear this magical song and
watch its equally adorable music video.
Enjoy! :-)
