The British Version

"My whipped ice dairy drink brings the attention of many males to my place of residence and/ or employment,
and they declare that its quality far surpasses that of yours.
Absolutely, it far surpasses yours.
I could convey to you the recipe,
but I would have to demand compensation."

It's a British version of Kelis' "Milkshake" song.

I have never heard of Kelis, but here in the US Missy Elliott did a wonderful version of it!

According to Australia's The Age: "Heard that absurdly catchy, slyly raunchy pop song on the radio recently? You know, the one about the milkshake that's better than yours?

Or about being a "slave 4 U"? The song about getting so hot you want to take your clothes off? Or perhaps the one that promises to have you naked by the end?

You're probably listening to a song by Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, the US music producers collectively known as the Neptunes."

I was going to oblige with "Candy Shop", but I wasn't sure whether to give a translation of the actual lyrics or the sexual subtext.

lol Apparently he wrote it that way on purpose, so that little kids could listen to it and not know it was about sex. *eyeroll*
