In the early 1970s, there were two basketball leagues in America — while the NBA ruled the sport, the ABA was defined by its outlaw flair and sensational showmanship. In the comedy Semi-Pro, Will Ferrell plays Jackie Moon, the one-hit singing sensation behind “Love Me Sexy,” who relishes his role as owner, coach and power forward for the fictional Flint, Michigan Tropics of the ABA.
But when the NBA announces a plan to merge with the ABA and only take with them the four teams with the best records, disbanding the rest of the ABA squads forever, Moon, assisted by former NBA benchwarmer Monix (Woody Harrelson) and flamboyant Clarence “Downtown” Withers (André Benjamin), decides to rally his motley team for an unlikely eleventh-hour pursuit of acceptance and glory.
New Line Cinema presents a Mosaic Media Group Production — Semi-Pro. The film stars Will Ferrell, who leads an outstanding ensemble cast that also includes Woody Harrelson, André Benjamin, Maura Tierney, Will Arnett, Andy Richter, David Koechner and Rob Corddry, as well as DeRay Davis, Josh Braaten, Jay Phillips, Andrew Daly, Peter Cornell, Matt Walsh, Pat Kilbane and Academy Award®-nominee Jackie Earle Haley.
The songs instrumental track is punctuated with the prominent live horn section Hornz Unlimited of Atlanta, and the chorus and bridge feature Sleepy Brown singing in style inspired by the work of Motown star Marvin Gaye.
Its just something you have got to have if you want to be safe.
it’s 2:23am on a Saturday night in San Diego. The bars are closed and Destro the dancing middle eastern hot dog stand man is gone. He packed up his weenies and split. Across the street is Andre 3000 kickin it with his buddy. This is video of a hoochie mama that kinda looks like Alexis Arquette trying to put moves on Andre (count the hair flips). Got a little video of me in there and poking fun at the situation after Andre tells me I look like Morrissey, my demigod. What a compliment!
The song features OutKast mentor Sleepy Brown on guest vocals.
Already having visualized most of the song, he recorded the introduction, the first verse, and the hook.
So, I typed a text to a girl I used to see
Sayin that I chose this cutie pie with whom I wanna be
And I apologize if this message gets you down
Then I CC’d every girl that I’d see see round town and
Hate to see y’all frown but I’d rather see her smiling
Wetness all around me, true, but I’m no island
Peninsula maybe, makes no sense I know, crazy
Give up all this pussy cat thats in my lap no lookin back
Spaceships dont come equipped with rearview mirrors
They dip as quick as they can
The atmosphere is now ripped
Im so like a Pip, Im glad its night (Gladys Knight)
So the light from the sun would not burn me on my bum
When I shoot the moon high, jump the broom
Like a premie out the womb
My partner yellin “Too soon! Dont do it! Reconsider!
Read some litera – ture on the subject
You sure? Fuck it
You know we got your back like chiroprac – tic
If that bitch do you dirty
we’ll wipe her ass out as in detergent
Now hurry hurry, go on to the altar
I know you aint a pimp but pimp remember what I taught ya
Keep your heart 3 stacks, keep your heart
Aye, keep your heart 3 stacks, keep your heart
Man, these girls is smart, 3 stacks, these girls is smart
Play your part
Play your part”
Hey Ya! also topped the Canadian Singles Chart.
