Impossibly, Downtown makes us want to go listen to Uptown Funk again. You haven't lived until you've heard a Bon Jovi dupe sing, with unwavering sincerity, "You don't want no beef, boy."Īnd then Macklemore comes back, and then the Meatloaf part comes back, and it goes on, and on, and on, and on. It goes full Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Until all of a sudden, halfway through the song, it turns into a heavy-metal anthem. We're really doing this right now.ĭowntown was already the corniest squad anthem ever made, and then it rhymed "alley" with "mayonnaise" and followed that with the actual line, "dope, my crew is ill / and all we need is two good wheels." Also, it takes guts to invite Melle Mel and a bunch of old-school hip hop legends on a track that sounds straight outta a very confident middle schooler's class presentation on Grandmaster Flash. This song is about Macklemore going into a moped store and having a routine interaction with a moped salesman, and describing it in the plainest possible terms. I went to the Moped store, said fuck it Salesman's like what up, what's your budget And I'm like honestly, I don't know nothing about Mopeds He said I got the one for you, follow me Ooh, it's too real Chromed out mirror, I don't need a windshield Banana seat, a canopy on two wheels Eight hundred cash, that's a hell of a deal I'm headed downtown, cruising through the alley Tip-toeing in the.
