Shaping Sound: Uncovering the I Work Out Lyrics

Have you ever found yourself breaking a sweat to the upbeat and catchy tune of “I Work Out”? Trust us, we’ve been there too! The problem is, whenever we try to sing along, our tongues always trip over some of the words. So naturally, we decided to roll up our sleeves and uncover all those elusive lyrics once and for all (and share them with you). Get ready for a fun-filled journey where we will be dissecting every line from LMFAO’s hit song.

What is “I Work Out”, Anyway?

Before diving into deciphering the lyrics, let’s start by defining what this iconic song is about. Released in 2011 as part of LMFAO’s second album “Sorry for Party Rocking,” “I Work Out” was an instant success that dominated dance floors across America. A parody on fitness culture, boasting uplifting messages about staying active while still managing to have fun through vigorous workouts- everything shared in jest you understand- however it goes without saying fitness shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Let’s Start With The Intro!

You know how sometimes when listening to a song on repeat, parts like intros can slip right past unnoticed? Well not today amigos! This time around, let’s examine it carefully:

“I’m sexy and I know it”

We‘ve just kicked off so strong didn’t we?. Undeniably one of the most memorable choruses from any pop song -possibly forevermore-. Seven short years later that statement still never wears out.

This phrase has become synonymous with this track itself –even if probably at times people only remember those few lines leaving ‘Shuffling’ and shimmying onto their respective journeys straight after. Nonetheless take note; Right before diving into the verse holding these profound lyrics “When I walk on by girls be looking like damn he fly” suddenly bursting in through an electronic sound effect. This type of move ensures we don’t forget what LMFAO stands for, and there’s still plenty more to come.

What Do the Verses Say?

Now that we’ve covered the introduction let’s look at some of our favorite verses:

“When I walk in the spot, (yeah), this is what I see
Everybody stops and they staring at me
I got passion in my pants and I ain’t afraid to show it
(show it, show it, show it)”

Ahem Ahemm

These five lines together are the reason why gym goers around the world start sweating…not because they’re working out but rather from their heightened microaggressions. But seriously who writes a song about having ‘passion’ down there? Does anyone remember back when subtlety was actually valued?

In reality though; Whether you’re working on your upper body or lower half -whilst attaining said ‘Passion. surely whatever exercise regime can wait until after your finished laughing/shaking head in disbelief.

The second verse is just as catchy:

“I’m sexy and I know it”

OKAY Guuuuys here we go again with this ™ catch phrase! Supposedly bolstering one’s confidence although if you shout that line over and over enough times wouldn’t people find us all obnoxious muppets no matter how great our six-packs may be?.

“This is how I roll, animal print pants outta control,
It’s RedFoo with The big ‘fro’,
And like Bruce Leroy Fo sho

Ohhhh people might not have caught on yet; but within those few short sentences lies an implicit call-to-action that inspired countless individuals across America to adopt Roller moves whilst sporting AFRO’ed haircuts all summer long”. There seems little wrong with explaining who RedFoo is. And who doesn’t love a good dance paired with funky visuals.

“I’m sexy and I know it”

There we go again! Seems “I’m great” – or something along those lines- will forever end up engraved in our brains; fortunately there’s still one more verse to decipher:

“This is how I do, Carlton Banks, never making no plans,
Dance ´off´ see the tan, my heartbeat runs out of gas
Shimmy-shimmy-shimmy, yay, shimmy-yay,

Oh boy what’s happening here? ‘The Carlton’ (even if technically outdated), just another reason why LMFAO should actually be thanked for letting people think they have too much rhythm on occasion. This catchy chorus comes up yet again right after…big surprise there

Ending strong as expected:

A song about working out wouldn’t feel complete without mentioning at least some of the key excercises that elevate fitness levels beyond belief…cheers to squats

“Just doing my squat
My mama tried to get me to stop (refrain)
But when I push that button everything drops (low)”
Can anyone else relate?

Exercise name Benefits
Squat Builds leg muscles
Bench press Develops chest
Miami beach run Cardio workout

Whether you’re into lifting weights or running miles away over sunsets hopefully we’ve found some common ground within at least one of these workouts.

Conclusion

All in all “I Work Out” may not seem like the most profound songs ever written but certainly completes its role in matinence routine background noise brilliantly while simultaneously reminding us never take ourselves or others around us too seriously . Whether trying to get Pecs like Arnie Schwarzenegger in his prime or proudly waddling bouncing extra lumps of fat, something can just as easily inspire us to reach towards our own physical peaks. Ultimately in LMFAO’s witty way sayings that remind people of this- are worthy having playing on repeat.
