Story Behind The Song

The song was inspired by a friend whose hard drive failed on him and I said next time you gotta "Back it up, back it up, back it up." and it seemed to be a memorable hook, and decided to write a song around that and make it fun and light. When I play this live people really respond well to it!

Song Description

A song about parking your car, reversing your thinking or your actions, backing up your hard drive, backing up your argument. Love. Playful. Summery.

Lyrics

check

don't get nervous
I'm just gonna do this perfect
stick around
it's worth it
got more than a couple verses
it won't hurt ya
put you into hearses

you know that we rehearsed this
now we're gonna teach you how to reverse this

at least we'll take you to the precipice
everybody's getting it
loving the experience
moving your posteriors
derriers
your hips aren't lying
but you're pants are on fire
I'd love it if you tried it just

Check the rearview
see if you got a clear view
and backitup backitup backitup backitup
Hard Drive's fried you know what next time you should just
backitupbackitupbackitupbackitup

Let's hit the town baby it'll be nice
we don't have to use hand signals
we'll use side mirrors
far away from prying eyes
no DNA
We should wait till the right time yeah
I'm never sad when we're making up
Make movies we'll never see
cus we sit in the backseats
hop in the limousine baby we can go far.
there's no need to check with me
cus you know you look beautiful

chorus
check the rearview
see if you got a clear view
backitup
controversy you don't want to lose me
backitup
your argument's sounding thin, you know what to do just
backitupbackitup
trust the media, trust wikipedia
backitupbackitupbackitup

no camera yet that can see into me
come back They're waiting inside and I'm anxious
no time to waste, I'm just a pick of the week
and i've been hot for at least a few minutes now
got MPH I just need some direction
made a great escape but it doesn't do nothing
I was looking at that girl cus she looks like your cousin
If I wanted some fun I'd join the federation
realize

and come here baby
they're playing our song
stop being polite girl you know what to do just

check the rearview see if you got a clear view
back it up
hd's fried you know what to do next time you should just
back it up
hide your saber, looking pretty princess leia you should
Trust the media, Trust wikipedia
not trying to stress you, we're arguing the same view sure
not much more for me to say before I go
