Rock the House (Radio Edit) is the edited and shorter version of the Gorillaz single Rock the House, made for the radio, and the 3rd track of Gorillaz' compilation album G-Sides. Like the original version, the vocals for the track are provided by Del The Funky Homosapien as Del The Ghost Rapper. This is also the version of the song used for the Rock The House Music Video.

Lyrics[]

[Del]
I know you like that
You wanna try that
It's like a flashback
So shake your (...)
I got the balls to
Rock the salsa
Funk the blues-a
Any groove to
Make you move 'cause
Taking you to
Another landscape
Is my mandate
I'm highly animated even though I'm decomposing
So if your feet is frozen, I'mma die to see you ropin'

And when the MC rhyme and the DJ spin
I want y'all to just get down
Now while the MC rhymin' and the DJ cuttin'
I want y'all to just get down
And when the MC rhyme and the DJ spin
I want y'all to just get down
Now while the MC rhymin' and the DJ cuttin'
I want y'all to just get down

Tap your toes and clap your hands
(How many people ready to rock the house?)
Come on, trace the globe and shake your pants
(How many people ready to rock the house?)
Just twist your hip and do the dip
(How many people ready to rock the house?)
Come on, shake and bake, do whatever it takes
(How many people ready to rock the house?)

Gravitational pull
I'll have you making a fool out of yourself on the dance floor
Doing back spins, running man, and more
Party down with vigor and candor
Coming to the jam or look like a landlubber
And do the aqua boogie, win lots of goodies maybe
Pop a Gucci wallet, turntables is talking to me
It's awfully groovy seeing all the treasure and the booty

And when the MC rhyme and the DJ spin
I want y'all to just get down
Now while the MC rhymin' and the DJ cuttin'
I want y'all to just get down
And when the MC rhyme and the DJ spin
I want y'all to just get down
Now while the MC rhymin' and the DJ cuttin'
I want y'all to just get down

Tap your toes and clap your hands
(How many people ready to rock the house?)
Come on, trace the globe and shake your pants
(How many people ready to rock the house?)
Just twist your hip and do the dip
(How many people ready to rock the house?)
Come on, shake and bake, do whatever it takes
(How many people ready to rock the house?)

Trivia[]

  • This became the most well-known version of "Rock The House" due to being the one used on the music video for the single. The same goes to the edited version of the single "Clint Eastwood", named "Clint Eastwood (Edit)" (also known as 'Original Mix Edit').
  • This song is the 11th track on the Brazilian version of G-Sides, with the third track there being "19-2000 (The Wiseguys House of Wisdom Remix)", and does not appear on the US version of the album.
