Ooopppps, did you know this?
Remember the singer Tweet and her hit single “Oops (Oh My)” produced by Timbaland. The lyrics were semi-sexual and everyone was singing the tune back in 2002.
The infamous chorus goes,
“Oops, there goes my shirt up over my head
Oh my
Oops, there goes my skirt dropin’ to my feet
Oh my
Ooh, some kinda touch caressing my face
Oh my
Ooh I’m turning red
Who could this be?”
Recently, a fan posted a meme about the song on Twitter. In the caption, the online user wrote, “Tweet said masturbation but make it a bop.” Missy Elliot caught wind of the comment and shared a fun fact about the record. Missy said the song was never about masturbation.
“It was always about her appreciating her dark skin (self-love) when she looked in the mirror. It was the listeners that thought it was about sex and ran with it…and we just let the consumers mind create what they wanted.” Take a look:
Take a ride to nostalgia and check out the track with a “new ear.”
