Wham! - Wham Rap

hiwhatsup

Review by Carlos Zuniga

Wham Rap, the debut album by the British pop duo Wham!, is a fun and energetic collection of songs that perfectly captures the spirit of the early 1980s. Released in 1982, the album features the hit single "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)", which quickly became a dance floor favorite and helped launch the band's career.

The album is a mix of catchy pop tunes, funky beats, and socially conscious lyrics. "Club Tropicana" is a tropical-flavored party anthem that celebrates the joys of summer, while "Young Guns (Go for It!)" is an upbeat call to action for the youth of Britain. "Bad Boys" is a reggae-infused track that touches on the issue of youth unemployment, and "Nothing Looks the Same in the Light" is a poignant ballad that showcases George Michael's impressive vocal range.

You got soul on the dole?
You're gonna have a good time
Down on the line
You got soul on the dole?
You're gonna have a good time
Down on the line

I said get
Get
Get on down
I said get
Get
Get on down
I said get
Get get on down
I said get
Get
Get on down

Hey everybody take a look at me,
I've got street credibility,
I may not have a job,
But I have a good time,
With the boys that I meet "down on the line"

I said D. H. S. S.
Man the rhythm that they're givin'
Is the very best

I said b one b two
Make the claims
On your name
All you have to do

Well...
Folks can be a drag
If work ain't your bag
And when you let them know
You're more dead then alive
In a nine to five
Then they say you'd got to go

And...
Get yourselves a job
Or get out of this house
Get yourself a job
Are you a man or a mouse
A finger in each ear
You pretend not to hear
Gotta get some space
Get out of this place

[Chorus:]
Wham!
Bam!
I am!
A man!
Job or no job
You can't tell me that I'm not
Do!
You!
Enjoy what you do?
If not
Just stop!
Don't stay there and rot!

In the streets
In the cars
On the underground
If you listen real hard
You can hear the sound
Of a million people
Switching off for work
Well listen Mr. Average
You're a jerk

Not me
You can't hold me down
Not me
I'm gonna fool around
Gonna have some fun
Look out for number one
You can dig your grave
I'm staying young!

[Chorus]

If you're a pub man
Or a club man
Maybe a jet black guy
With a hip hi-fi
A white cool cat
With a trilby hat
Maybe leather and studs
Is where you're at
Make the most of everyday
Don't let hard times
Stand in your way
Give a wham
Give a bam
But don't give a damn
'Cos the benefit gang
Are gonna pay

Now reach up high and touch your soul
The boys from Wham! will help you reach that goal
It's gonna break your mama's heart (so sad)
It's gonna break your daddy's heart (too bad)
Just throw the dice and take my advice
'Cos I know that you're smart
Can you dig this thing? (Yeah!)
Are you gonna get down? (Yeah!)
Say Wham! WHAM!
Say Bam! BAM
