Thong Song
"Thong Song" is a song recorded by American R&B singer Sisqó. It was released on February 15, 2000, as the second single from his solo debut studio album, Unleash the Dragon (1999). "Thong Song" garnered four Grammy nominations and numerous other awards. The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Rhythmic top 40 chart and number three on the Billboard Hot 100, Sisqó's second highest-peaking hit behind "Incomplete". It was a major success worldwide as well, reaching the top ten throughout European charts and reaching number three in the United Kingdom, Netherlands, and Denmark. The song also topped the charts in New Zealand.
Female rapper Strings aka Tateeze did a response track titled "Tongue Song" which was released on DJ Clue?'s mixtape The Great Ones Pt.1 and then on her album The Black Widow
The instrumental was originally produced with Michael Jackson in mind (Jackson later worked with the producers after hearing "Thong Song"). The song was written and produced by Sisqó, and Tim & Bob, the duo of Tim Kelley and Bob Robinson. Songwriters Desmond Child and Draco Rosa receive songwriting credit because of the interpolation of part of their composition, "Livin' la Vida Loca" (originally recorded by Ricky Martin), in the song's lyrics. The obbligato strings that are heard throughout the song, performed for the record by violinist Bruce Dukov, are inspired by Wes Montgomery's cover of The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" which Tim originally sampled in its origin.
The impetus for the song came from when the then 19-year-old singer Sisqó joked that his hair turned white the first time he saw a thong, similar to Charlton Heston in the film The Ten Commandments.
Rapper Lil' Kim was originally supposed to be included on the album version but declined. However, Kim and Sisqó collaborated on her second album The Notorious K.I.M. a year later.
The alternate version, the official remix to the original version, "Thong Song Uncensored", features a guest rap from Foxy Brown in the spot where Sisqó whispers the main verse for the third time, and is included on the soundtrack for Nutty Professor II: The Klumps. A second, more urban-themed[clarification needed] video was shot for the remix by Little X.
The song was composed in a key of C-sharp minor, and has a tempo of 130 beats per minute. The final chorus is set in D minor.
Sisqó has said that the lyrics of "Thong Song" were inspired by a woman he went on a date with, who stripped to reveal a thong underneath her dress. They consist of a verse, a pre-chorus, and a chorus, which are repeated with variations in style and perspective. In the first repetition, Sisqó sings the verse, which paints a picture of a sexy woman in a "scandalous" dress with a penchant for dancing. The pre-chorus hones in on her body, particularly her legs, with "dumps like a truck" and "thighs like what." The chorus is in two main parts: pulsing backing vocals which describe a love for certain beats and the dances that come with them accompany Sisqó's plea to see "That thong-th-thong-thong-thong." In the second repetition, the melody of the verse is layered in octaves, and the perspective shifts from second to third person. In the third, it is rapped rather than sung. A short, swelling instrumental section punctuated by Sisqó chanting "come on" leads into the climactic key change. Sisqó repeats the chorus once more, riffing dramatically over the backing vocals.
