Lyrics:
All right! Stop whatcha doin', 'cause I'm about to ruin
The image and the style that ya used to
I look funny-but yo I'm making money, see
So yo world I hope you're ready for me
Now gather round, I'm the new fool in town
And my sound's laid down by the Underground
I drink up all the Hennessy ya got on ya shelf
So just let me introduce myself
My name is Humpty, pronounced with a "umpty"
Yo ladies, oh how I like to funk thee
And all the rappers in the top ten--please allow me to bump thee
I'm steppin' tall, y'all, and just like Humpty Dumpty
You're gonna fall when the stereos pump me
I like to rhyme, I like my beats funky
I'm spunky. I like my oatmeal lumpy
I'm sick wit dis, straight gangsta mack
But sometimes I get ridiculous
I'll eat up all your crackers and your licorice
Hey yo fat girl, c'mere--are ya ticklish?
Yeah, I called ya fat; look at me, I'm skinny
It never stopped me from getting busy
I'm a freak, I like the girls with the boom
I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom
I'm crazy, allow me to amaze thee
They say I'm ugly but it just don't faze me
I'm still getting in the girls' pants
And I even got my own dance
[Hook]
The Humpty Dance is your chance to do the hump
Do the Humpty Hump, come on and do the Humpty Hump
Do the Humpty Hump, just watch me do the Humpty Hump
Do ya know what I'm doing, doing the Humpty Hump
Do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump
[Verse Two]
People say "Yo, Humpty, you're really funny lookin'"
That's all right cause I get things cookin'
Ya stare, ya glare, ya constantly try to compare me
But ya can't get near me
I give 'em more, see, and on the floor, B
All the girls they adore me
Oh yes, ladies, I'm really being sincere
Cause in a 69 my humpty nose will tickle ya rear
My nose is big, uh-uh I'm not ashamed
Big like a pickle, I'm still getting paid
I get laid by the ladies, ya know I'm in charge
Both how I'm living and my nose is large
I get stupid, I shoot an arrow like Cupid
I use a word that don't mean nothing, like looptid
I sang on "Doowutchalike", and if ya missed it
I'm the one who said, "Just grab 'im in the biscuits"
Also told ya that I like to bite
Well, yeah, I guess it's obvious, I also like to write
All ya had to do was give Humpty a chance
And now I'm gonna do my dance
[Hook]
[Breakdown]
Oh, yeah, that's the break, y'all
Let me hear a little bit of that bass groove right here
Oh, yeah!
Now that I told ya a little bit about myself
Let me tell ya a little bit about this dance
It's real easy to do--check it out
[Verse Three]
First I limp to the side like my leg was broken
Shaking and twitching kinda like I was smoking
Crazy wack funky
People say ya look like M.C. Hammer on crack, Humpty
That's all right cause my body's in motion
It's supposed to look like a fit or a convulsion
Anyone can play this game
This is my dance, y'all, Humpty Hump's my name
No two people will do it the same
Ya got it down when ya appear to be in pain
Humping, funking, jumping
Jig around, shaking ya rump
And when a doo-doo chump punk points a finger like a stump
Tell him step off, I'm doing the Hump
[Hook]
Black people, do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump
White people, do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump
Puerto Ricans, do the Humpty Hump, just keep on doing the hump
Samoans, do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump
Let's get stoopid!
[Hook]
Oh, yeah, come on and break it down
[Outro]
Once again, the Underground is in the house
I'd like to send a shout out to the whole world
Keep on doing the Humpty Dance
And to the ladies
Peace, and Humptiness forever

Rest In Peace Humpty 😔
Sitting here rapping the lyrics.... I was 13 or 14 when he came out....
I will miss him so much RIP to shock g
I fuckken can't believe it...total shock...g...it can't be for real...???
Yeah
@@flossyb9371 the arsenio hall show...never missed an episode...and I'm white...lol
I'm a metal head...and I have always loved this jam.
Ditto
Same
Same
Back when this came out all of us headbangers, punks, new wavers, etc, etc. . . All adopted this as one of our jams.
That bass line is wild
This entire album was genius
Your not too SMART. Ahhhhhahaha
@@CoinCapo nah you just don't get it
Yes it was
Indeed it was...
Yes, indeed. One of the definitive hip-hop releases of the ‘90s; from the opener (this track) to the reprise of the title track that closes the record, every single song was a master stroke.
Rest In Peace Shock G🙏. Still remember dancing this as a kid
💋
Yea
"Peace and humptyness forever" -Shock G those words will live on forever
Peace and humptiness forever.
This is timeless. True talent never dies. It lives on forever. Shock was ahead of his time like Hendirx. Thank you sir and all of Digital Underground.
🌹❤️🌹
Its always nice to see someone else who also appreciates both genres
Those who refer to him as just a hip hop artist are shorting him. He was a musician who was very good on piano and drums. He didn’t just steal music from others, he made his own. RIP.
A DAMN GOOD MUSICIAN AT THAT 🙏🏾 🥸
George Clinton gave his seal of approval. I find it amusing that the rap cats get flack for sampling, but we in the ambient industrial thing don't. our entire genre is a cutup of a cutup. aka sampling.
i'm a lot like he is, but my game is "digital" and not "musical"
i wish i had the support he did, i'd fking FLY past epic games, for that last 20 years of my life...
He was also a super producer who blessed Prince, Aretha Franklin and of course Tupac and other notables.
🌹❤️🌹
Oh No, Not Humpty Too. 😢
My Sister and I were jamming to him two weeks ago. He was on "NOTHING BUT TROUBLE with Tupak and Digital Underground and Dan Akroyd." Spitting out the Vibrations. 🙏🏾✌🏾💜
Biz Markie died too it's unfair
RIP Shock G. You once got busy in a Burger King bathroom, and not many can say that.
I can say that 😉
They actually censor it out in the video lol
Not many you know.
@@shannonmcgunn3936 hhuighffgyyy

Sleep in peace Humpty 🙏🏾
One of the GOAT basslines .
Word.
Sick 🤢
Boy, I'm not so much into Hip hop but this one was an exception, the rhythm was contagious, party-like sound all the way. Rest in peace Shock G.
It was something about Oaktown artists back in the day it seemed like they all had that hard funky bass line beat. And once again RIP 🙏😪
It’s the P Funk influence.
Man, RIP Shock G... 04/22/21
2018, still one of illest bass lines.
And has yet to be duplicated!
Me
I am going to bust into a party and handle it!!
This song has a lot going for it!
I was signed to the same label as DU when they recorded this track. We both used to record at Starlight Sound in Richmond California. We used the same synth/keyboard (owned by the studio) that DU used for that Humpty baseline on our record - although not to the same effect as DU. That Humpty baseline is hip-hop history. So simple, so effective, perfect.

I was only 4 when this song came out I remember vividly dancing to this RIP Shock G
Digital Underground Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shock G's death hit me considerably more than DMX. Though banned from many stations, this is TAME compared to a lot of 21st century rap.
i feel you man.. sad month indeed
Me too, Bay Area native.
oh yes my friend. in deed.
Shock G & Digital Underground gave 2 Pac the opportunity to shine. May they both Humpty Dance forever!
RIP Shock G 🙏🏿🕊️
Damn, didn’t realize Humpty recently passed. R.I.P. 😔
R.I.P. Shock G you’re with Tupac now in heaven 😢
RIP TO A LEGEND FROM MY ERA......SHOCK G REST EASY BABY!🖤🖤🖤
After all these years I still love this song. It was original, interesting and had a great base. A head swaying beat! Awesome!
Fun fact. Shock G The Brain behind DIGITAL UNDERGROUD was a seasoned musician had a degree played piano , drums and even disco ered Tupac.
Musician, entrepreneur, stone cold genius .
RIP Shock G and Humpty Hump, there are almost no rappers out there who were able to master alter egos like him.
RIP Humpty, thanks for the unforgettable memories and dance🙏🏾❤️
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 CLASSIC HIP HOP
R.I.P. Shock G! 😭🙏💙🌹
“i ONCE GOT BUSY iN A BURGER KiNG BATHROOM!”
R.i.P SHOCK G
heard this line was a true story
I am retired now but over the years when I was working my coworkers always referenced this lyric. As they say wish I had a five spot for every time they did that. LOL...
Needed to hear the full-length version, thank you. RIP Shock G.
R.I.P. Shock G......😢😢😢
The 90s music was the best ever
This was technically recorded in 89 fyi
The music from when you were in your mid teens to mid twenties is the best ever.
This beat will always be insane
Rest in peace, Shock G/Humpty Hump
@Carson Douglas And he was found in a hotel, like a lot are 🤔
@Carson Douglas and I don't believe in accidents or coincidence either...something very strange going on ...definitely occult related
I lost my BFF of 17 years May 19 of 2023! We always had inside jokes about this song! We're in our 40's and played this in a bar amongst young heads one night and caught some weird looks. We always laughed about it. With her year death anniversary approaching, this song ALWAYS plays on my saved playlist of over 600 songs. I definitely feel like it's her trying to cheer me up! RIP my beautiful Tara Leigh! September 27 1980-May 19 2023! ❤
MAY SHE REST IN PEACE DAWGGGGZZZZZZ. I AM TRULY SORRY FOR YOU LOSS KIDDDDDDDDDDD.
The lyrics on this tune are pure GENIUS 🔥
that bass is so fucking crazy, i love it
Word.
Rest in Peace Shock G
A timeless classic!.
Rest in peace. This is still one of my favorite songs until this day. This was the song back in the day.
The Beat Is Sick!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Saw this on Yo MTV Raps back in the day. I didn't realize that was Shock G at the time. I thought it was a dude named Humpty haha. This song and the Underground will always have a special place in my heart for introducing us to imo the greatest rap artist ever Tupac.
Peace and Humptiness forever.
Hubby went to his box of CDS this morning to find this jam....heard it all the way down the street....❤️🇦🇺
That's awesome!
Humpty was hilarious! I love Humpty Dance and have to spin it every so often.
I absolutely love the beat in the song! New songs could never
Thanks for NOT Bleep every word!! Love This. 2018?
Any time they play it on the radio, everything gets dropped and it’s on! A piece of my heart left when I read about his passing. 💔
Even after decades this production is as explosive as a thermonuclear bomb. A masterpiece on every level. George Clinton went wild with the production and Shock G and the groove are timeless! WOW!
Bless Your Creative Soul Shock G.
Humpty Hump Rest Peacefully.
I'm gonna miss this Brotha,
🙏🏽
I love 💕 this song 🎧 so much
Always and foreva hump RIP🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This was one of the songs that made Hip Hop the way it was from the 80s-mid 90s
Word to the Digital Underground. Grandmasters of classic hype.
So few tracks make everyone in the world bump like this one.
Once heard it eats your soul until you know every last word.
Even the Spice girls bit this one. Just brilliant.
Imagining Shock G teaching the Angels how to do the Humpty Dance. "Peace and Humptiness Forever", R.I.P. Shock G
Like they didn't have MTV in Heaven...nah that'd be worth seeing!👍
R.I.P. Shock G and Tupac. This was both y’all first gig . We know y’all showng them how to do the Humpty Dance in heaven.
this song went to #11 on the pop charts in 1990!!!
Rest In Power, Shock G
May you do the Humpty Dance forever
RIP SHOCK G. Bay Area Original 🤘🏽
RIP Gregory Jacobs, aka Shock G, aka Humpty Hump!

My people

Absolute classic jam🥇
Timeless and hilarious 😂 love this song r.i.p. Shock G.
Real Talk !!!! There would be no 2 pac without shock G .. Which he brought out one of the greatest MC two rock the mic... Just a little hip hop history for these younger cats...
One of the most danceable jans ever!

Eternal Classic

Rest in peace brother
God bless your soul Shock G...rest with the angels!!! I loved your ingenuity and your genius, you will be missed!!!
This song is still a banger guys!
I was at a club in Orlando, FL a couple of years ago and they played the edited version of this. Even blanked out Burger King. I was shocked.
I remember when this song came out when I was in 11th grade LOL! They didn't beep em back then
RIP Shock G A.k.A Humpty Hump, now u is Reunited in Lovely Heaven with Your Homeboy Pac, u was the one who made tupac A star,
We did the post production on the video. Fun times!!
Rest Now.... Thanks For The Fun Music.. 🙏🙏🙏
Rest in Peace Shock G
I am still crying 😢😢 for Shock G,we miss you Big Homie. RIP Shock G 😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢😢
A cool song from back in the day when rap was still good. This song has a good beat and the driving pulsing bass line has such a decadent hedonistic quality. A true OC (original classic).
Rip shock G. Thank you for everything
Shock G rest in peace. Your style was a masterpiece. Im 33 and been doing the Humpty dance since the 90s.
No matter how many times many artists sampled this song, this track will always be "The Humpy Dance".
This Is A SHOCK💔💔💔💔
Rest In Power Shock G😓
#gone #too #soon
I still love my bay area folks, I B knocking this everyday. Oakland Town Buzzz !
God bless mc humpty
I wore out the cassette tape in my car on the drive to Fort Leavenworth. Unforgettable experience.
Will forever remember seeing these great guys at Newarks Symphony Hall while in college
Saw em.in concert.....best time of my life.
Humpty was an artist
This is soooooooo gooood. A real classic.
RIP Shock G aka Edward Ellington “HUMPTY HUMP” Humphrey. May the Humpty Funk be with you.
2021 and this STILL slaps! That bass is brutal
Blessed to have seen them in concert.....will never forget !!
I was old enough to see the video. 💘 Digital Underground and RIP Shock G.
RIP 2pac & Humpty word homies
I was in the crowd for the filming of this video.That was a fun night.
