Listen to "Work It" by Missy Elliot. The hook of that song is like: "Is it worth it / Let me work it / I put my thing down flip it and reverse it," followed by a few seconds where Missy's voice just sounds like jibberish. At the beginning of this video, Emily sings "Put your thing down flip it and reverse it." Someone in the audience recognizes the song and sings the "jibberish" part, and Emily says "Yes!" Then Emily explains that the jibberish on the Missy Elliott track is actually "I put my thing down flip it in reverse it" played backwards.
this is the best version of this song yet. the bass and drums in the beginning give me the chills. thanks so much for sharing!
does anyone understand what she's saying to the crowd at the beginning?
