Scooter's guide to songwriting
We asked Jay, HP and Rick where they got some of they're mind boggling techno lyrics from. So, if you've always wanted to know what 'chillybow!' means, read on...
TOTP:What and who does: 'Chicks-terminator' mean and refer to?
Rick: That's him [points to HP]
HP: Yeah, it's kind of a joke. A friend of mine once called me the Chicks-checker when we went on holiday to Majorca.
All: [Lots of deep laughs]
HP: Ya, last year I became the Chicks-terminator! We thought it was really funny so we put it into our lyrics!
Jay: You'll have to wait and see what he's called next year.
TOTP: Can you explain this line: "We're not the monkeys, but we've got the key"?
HP: Ah, ya! [He seems positive on this meaning]. This means that, er, we are not the monkeys, but we have the key! [laughs]
TOTP: What does it mean when you shout out to the people in the crowd: 'Chillybow!'?
HP: Oh... This means... nothing! [laughs]
Rick:We don't know, but loads of English MC's shout it out. We thought we'd use it.
TOTP: What does: "What is essential? It's invisible to the eye" refer to?
HP: This is a sentence taken from a French writer called Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. I thought it fitted in quite nicely to 'Weekend!'
TOTP: Where does: "Respect to the man in the ice cream van" come from?
HP: This is a shout out to the KLF. They once had a lyric: "They're justified and they're ancient and they drive an icecream van." We're just saying hello to them!
