LYRICS:
Walked into a pub, you were looking at me
So I looked straight back thinking ‘could it be?’
And that’s when you winked at me with both eyes at the same time
Oh wait, that’s a blink
So I smiled in a bashful manner
But you didn’t smile back, shit, what’s the matter?
Then I realised. I’m out of zone 5, I’m in Kent
Now I’m asking myself...
Are you checking me out or are you just racist?
Are you checking me out or are you just racist?
Could you be my big spoon or are you just a bigot in Wetherspoon?
Are you checking me out or are you just racist?
So I left the pub, I got more eyes on me
Of course, what was I thinking, I’m in Canterbury
I get into my car, now I’m driving fast
Then I notice I’m lost, I don’t know these parts
So I roll down my window, ask a random guy
For directions, and he says ’alright?’
He says he’s Gemini and his name is Warren
I said I got a name too, we’ve got so much in common
Yeah, we’re really hitting it off
Until he says ‘yeah, er, go back where you came from’
And I’m like ‘fuck you, you racist piece of shit’
He he’s like ‘no mate, I was just telling you to do a u-turn’
You were actually checking me out, turns out you’re not a racist
Sorry for projecting onto you, the other guy who was racist
You weren’t tryna hurt me, you were proper horny
You were checking me out, turns out you’re not a racist
Now I’m in Dagenham, here we go again
Guy at the bus stop and he’s staring
Probably not flirting, he’s with his girlfriend
Probably not racist, his top says ‘BLM’
I’ve had enough, I say, just tell me what is it
Are we about to kiss or are you just a prejudice
He says 'You’re an actor, right?'
Guys, turns out I’m just famous
He says ‘I loved you in that BBC drama,
About an undercover cop and his father’
And I was like ‘Yeah, no, you’re thinking of my brother’
You were neither checking me out, nor are you a racist
You just mistook me for my more famous brother
Out of all the options, this is probabyl the most shit
If I’m being honest mate, I’d rather you were racist
Altogether now...
Are you checking me out or are you just racist?
Are you checking me out or are you just racist?
Are you checking me out or are you just racist?
Are you checking me out or are you just racist?
As a gay guy who generally looks like I'm trying to start a fight when I'm checking people out, honestly we need a secret code
The question is are you checking out Black and Asian men aggressively? Because this is what they'll be singing in their heads
@@jasonhaven7170 Exactly lol. Hence the need for a code. "I'm checking you out, I'm not a racist" on a t-shirt maybe ...
@@marktaylor2087 Maybe next time you see a Black dude you're into, walk up to him and chat him up
@@jasonhaven7170 handkerchiefs in back pockets used to work.
I felt this way in Canterbury when I studied there hahaha.
As a white guy, for every poc guy I looked at for a moderately long period of time... yes, I was checking you out ❤
🥺👉🏾👈🏾🙈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Guy of color*
💜💜
@@eypu999 literally no one cares
@@xhelan131 yet you commented lol
Are we gonna talk about the background stuff in the video? 😭 the guy who’s not racist fighting a guy trying to steal mawaan’s car and then mawaan’s brother meeting up with the fanboy
You're more famous than your brother to me coz I don't know who your brother is! 😂 Love the song! 😍🙏💐
Same. But, I live in the USA and don't have BBC. Don't get to see anything unless it's picked up by another streaming service.
Who is his brother?
@@strangersontheinternet👋 I looked it up and he is an actor.
That’s his brother in the background of the bus scene, if that wasn’t obvious!
I also had to look it up and today, December 13 2022, you beat your brother in google searches by 2,100. So there, free fuel for your sibling rivalry.
Love that your brother actually shows up in the background. This whole thing is hilarious!
The first verse hit too close to home. This exact thing happened to me in Kent this year😂
This is how you do social commentary AND comedy. Love it!
I feel seen and heard, finally.

Oh man, I want someone to make a cover of this but with locations and expressions in the United States. I'm Korean and I have this thought all the time when I travel back to my home state of Ohio.
I have lived in Ohio. My experience has been they're just racist and if they are checking me out it's cos they have a fetish :(
I love this song and all the background skits/details!! (LMAOOOO NOT THE SIGN THAT SAYS 'IF SOMETHING'S NOT QUITE WHITE' 😭
I just realize that I suck at flirting because I always start to project my insecurities (mostly thinking people is homophobic or racist) so i start starring like I want to start a fight. the whole thing is awkward.
I loved this! A round of applause to everyone involved in making it!
Mawaan You 'nail it' with every song...from 'Never Been Sking' ,to ' Mango", to this one ! Love you Dude !!!
why is this not a million views yet???
“Are you my big spoon or just a bigot in Weatherspoon” IM CACKLING
Witherspoon?
@@falconeshield idk dude, I’m not british nor is english my first or second language. It got the point across tho
@@falconeshield weatherspoon is a pub company in the uk
@@sillygoose8652 weatherspoon is a pub company in the uk
LISTEN NOW ON SPOTIFY! (+ all other platforms) 😘
It sounds so similar to Jizz In My Pants by The Lonely Island, and it's a compliment.
WHO ARE YOU AND WHY HAVEN’T I HEARD OF YOU SOONER THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!
Had this in my head all day. Gonna turn some heads when I accidentally sing this out loud in work tomorrow. I'm white.
Is he checking me out or am I about to get hatecrimed? Is so relatable.
I can't believe it got made into a music video! 😍😍😍
Just watching Mawaan in a 2017 episode of Vera (Natural Selection)
Realising that's when I first fell in love 💞😘
I’m so astonished right now ❤
No matter what, this songs would forever be in our hearts. ❤
Omg there's an official video now 😭😭😭
beautiful direction, beautiful song, beautiful man.
Love everything happening in the background. Love it!
I'm checking you out Mawaan
2:53 That's GENIUS!! Can we have a selfie???
this is so iconic
Turns out he is well lost. He's not even in Kent, it's Stoke Newington. 😂
Yeah, looked a tad too dodge for Kent 🤔🤣
@@herluka Have you seen certain parts of Kent? I feel safer in Lewisham
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm not poc, but this is me every time I go out wearing a crop top and wondering if people are checking me out or if they just wanna beat me up 😀
Been waiting for this since you first posted this from one of your shows!
Ooh I love this video Mawaan! And love the cameo from Nabhaan 😁
HECK YES LET'S GOOOOO!!!! love the video especially the ads at the bus stop 😂😂
I love this song so much and I am LIVING for this music video 😂
Just saw your sketch "I made my mum famous" To that I say I'm from the United States and you're the only one in your family that I recognize. I hope you make it big here cuz you're hilarious!
MAWAAN utter legend❤ probably the best song in the world👌👍✌️
Now this is art
Just listening to this for the first time on comic relief, ain’t to bad
This song right here will live rent-free in my head....
omg i needed this! the funniest parody song of the year! thank you for making this!
Same, but in Canterbury NZ...
Nice song.. easy listening
Omg this is awesome 😂
Is that your actual more famous brother getting a selfie with them?
That's a harsh self-burn! 🤣
Love the song, the video and the car fight!
Keep it up, you are amazing! 🎉
Legendary! Hope your well! Thank you for this well funny!!
I would definitely be checking you out!
Definitely checking you out
I'm here for this! 🥰
Laughing 😂. (take a U turn …). ❤ From Holland.
I was definitely checking you out. Just figured I’d clarify.
I'm certainly checking you out, Mawaan. Just saying...
Christmas no1 yeah? 🤞 We love it!
The Streets vibes ❤
i felt this song, ive been there lol
I'm here from comic relief 😂😂😂 love it, I can relate 🥹
The struggle is real lmao
i love this
This is everything
I can't believe there's an official music video for this now 🤣
yeah pretty solid but that live version from channel 4 (I guess, there was a big 4 in the vid😂) was the absolute burner!
Yes the greatest music video of 2022 🙂👍
Love the song and the video was amazing too!! looks great, excellent work 👏👏👏
❤ I love this. xxx
Love the song, love the video, and since I've been checking you out in this video for minutes, I can confidently tell you that I love you too.
Love this
I'm so glad for Taskmaster introducing me to this man.
im deffo just checkin you out
Love this x
I know this is meant to be funny, but now that I live way outside London I have the same questions everyday! 🤣
I tear up listening to this XD
This was a godsend
the important question is what happened to your car???
To the mistaking brothers blm bus stop guy, my brother once answered the phone to your grandfather, our grandfathers were friends. You're probably quite well rehearsed for this "No, his brother" script.
This. Is. So. Amazing!!!!!!!
His brother is gorgeous - I'm definitely checking HIM out.
This is art
this song was a ride
Mawaan asks "Are you checking me out or are you just a racist?"
The answer: All the information is on the task!!! xD
yes dude
He is absolutely beautiful. But I'm one of those guys that will see someone looking at me, then I look away then I look again and they are looking too. But are they looking at me because I keep looking at them or are they really looking at me looking at them? So I look away 😑
I’m so astonished right now ❤ 0:22
What’s your name and where are you from?
Great work, congrats
"Could you be my big spoon or are you just a bigot in Witherspoon" 💀
What if its both. what if they're racist AND checking you out
I thought this was fun, but could not really relate.
Is it only in British culture where "Hey there, cutie" and "I hate your very existence" look the same?
the "proper horny" part always takes me places I wasn't prepared for
As a brown girl from Ohio I feel this deep in my soul 😂
WATTA VIBEEEE🤯❤
strong contender for widest song
I’m checking you out 😂❤️
I was out of Zone 5 😂
next years spotify wrapped's decided i guess
I'm checking you out
I checked u out in the Monument pub at the bar as i recognised you but could place you. Said hello to Simon though. Sorry 4 ignoring you. You were funnier than him at the Marlowe afterwards... laughed so much. You're very talented, handsome, and smart.
This is iconic lmfao
I would like to confirm that I was checking you out. 😍
👏🏻👏🏻
sometimes, if you're really lucky, they are both 🥲
As someone of yellow skin complexion, whenever I check people out that aren't white, I feel like they might think I'm being racist but I'm just checking them out!!!
Xmas no 1?
