Story Behind the Song
Arnie Sykes' upbeat and infectious first single, "Michelle," is a track destined to be a crossover hit and sure to have you singing its refrain for years to come. An homage to a past love? A shout-out to a current cutie? None of the above. With "Michelle," Arnie Sykes gives "mad love" to ALL women named Michelle, from the well-known (Michelle Williams, Michelle Trachtenberg, Michelle Yeoh) to the lesser known.
Lyrics
(Chorus)
Michelle Michelle Michelle Michelle
Michelle Michelle Michelle
Michelle Michelle Michelle Michelle
Michelle my belle
The name Michelle, it sounds good
Sounds good in suburbs, sounds good in the hood
Sounds good in England, sounds good in France
Sounds good when you get her on the floor to dance
You see, nobody shakes her thing like Michelle
Can hold a tune or sing like Michelle
In winter, summer, or spring a Michelle
Can wear anything and floss it so well
Don't matter if you're black, Asian, Latin, or white
As long as you're a Michelle, you're all right
All the Michelles are coming out tonight
Michelles stand proud, scream your name out loud
(Chorus)
If you're a Michelle, throw your hands in the air
If you're not a Michelle, then I don't care
Don't need no Mary, Jane, or Jill
Just need a Michelle to keep it real
Look north, south, east, and west
You'll find Michelles are still the best
All Michelle haters, do beware
Because Michelles are everywhere
Michelles are even famous
Like Michelle Williams, a great actress
On Dawson's Creek with James Van Der Beek
Need no Katie Holmes, Michelle's who I seek
Remember when Destiny's Child had four
Dropped two, added two, then dropped one more
The one that beat the rest of them
Was the best of them, Michelle Williams
Wait, the girl from DC-3's Michelle Williams
And the girl from Dawson's Creek's Michelle Williams
Michelle Williams got it goin' on
But so do ice skaters like Michelle Kwan
What lies beneath, you're likely to find
Michelle Pfeffier's got a dangerous mind
Michelle Thomas, she loved Urkel
May she rest in peace, you sweet angel
Michelle Yeoh crouches my tiger
Michelle Trachtenberg slays vampires
Sarah Michelle Gellar, she's ok
She's got Michelle for her middle name
(Chorus)
Nobody can cook good like Michelle
Nobody can look good like Michelle
Nobody can be nice like Michelle
Rock ice like Michelle, give advice like Michelle
Precisely Michelle, she is all that
She can be Republican or Democrat
She can play basketball like number 3
Michelle Marciniak from Tennessee
WNBA, what can I say
I love Michelles in a major way
All the Michelles are coming out today
Michelles stand proud, scream your name out loud
(Chorus to fade)
