When I was in third grade I took a gymnastics class, and as part of our exhibition or showcase or whatever you want to call an obligatory performance for parents, we performed a routine to the song "Booty Call", by Fast Eddie and DJ Sneak.  I loved that song.  I just got the biggest kick out of getting to do cartwheels and mime talking on an imaginary phone while a song that repeatedly used the word "booty" played.  After I was done with that gymnastics class I didn't think about "Booty Call" until I caught the chorus of it being played as part of a promo on a local station.  A wave of warm affection for the song rushed over me, and I made a point of downloading it the next time I was online.

Uh...I suppose it's obvious from the title, but the song is filthy! I've been unable to find the complete lyrics online, but in summary, it tells the tale of a young man's frustration when he's looking to call a lady friend for some sex but he is unable to locate her number.  He later locates the number, but when he calls her for some early morning loving she does not answer, leaving him frustrated again.  ::SPOILER ALERT:: At the end of the song she calls him, fulfiling all of his lusty needs. 

What kind of decent-minded adult lets a bunch of eight year old girls do a gymnastics routine to this song??? Especially one where the choreography has them miming booty calls of their own! Granted, it's sometimes hard to make sense of fast lyrics, especially at a time when you couldn't verify the lyrics online, but the title of the song alone should let you know that this song isn't appropriate for children to be dancing to in front of their parents.  You could also very distinctively make out one line of lyrics, that reads, "I'm the booty man taking a booty stand for all the booty fiends across the land."  I think it's safe to say that any song that uses the phrase "booty fiend" does not belong in a family friendly gymnastics exhibition.

These individuals are on a quest to assemble the complete lyrics to this song.  Perhaps so no other eight year olds ever are subjected to dance to it.
