Shania Twain - That Don't Impress Me Much

I've known a few guys who thought they were pretty smart
But you've got being right down to an art
You think you're a genius -- you drive me up the wall
You're a regular original, a know-it-all
Bridge:
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

Okay, so you're a rocket scientist
That don't impress me much

So you got the brain but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much

I never knew a guy who carried a mirror in his pocket
And a comb up his sleeve -- just in case
All that extra hold gell in his hair oughtta lock it
'Cause Heaven forbid that it should fall out of place

(Bridge)

Okay, so you're Brad Pitt
That don't impress me much
So you got the looks but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much

You're one of those guys who likes to shine his machine
You make me take off my shoes before you let me get in
I can't believe you kiss your car good night
C'mon baby tell me -- you must be jokin', right!

(Bridge)
Okay, so you've got a car
That don't impress me much
So you got the moves but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night

That don't impress me much
You think you're cool but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much

Okay, so what do you think you're Elvis or something...
Boy that hurt
That don't impress me much

D'oh Geir!!!

You know, I actually remember that song, but I can't remember how it goes. This bothers me.

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Sunday, 27 March 2005 17:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I liked the other song better anyway, the one about having a little fun and all that.

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Sunday, 27 March 2005 17:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Woah-UH-Oh...

Not the cock so much as "the touch"

― miccio (miccio), Sunday, 27 March 2005 17:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Mark McGrath evidently has "the touch."

― miccio (miccio), Sunday, 27 March 2005 17:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, but what does he touch with?

― Ferlin Husky (noodle vague), Sunday, 27 March 2005 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

me last night lol

― Mickey (modestmickey), Sunday, 27 March 2005 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

MUTT'S GOT THE TOUCH! MUTT'S GOT THE POWERRRR!!!

It's funny because I read that as "rockist scientist", being on ILM an' all.

― phil jones (interstar), Monday, 28 March 2005 05:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, me too! Could not figure that out to save my life.

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Monday, 28 March 2005 05:47 (twenty-one years ago)

generic pop-rock producers?

― John Justen (johnjusten), Monday, 28 March 2005 07:31 (twenty-one years ago)

two years pass...

i really love this song

― Surmounter, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 21:13 (eighteen years ago)

no rly

― Surmounter, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 21:19 (eighteen years ago)

Song was good, but she had the worst dress ever in the video.

― Tuomas, Thursday, 19 July 2007 10:46 (eighteen years ago)

misogynist

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Thursday, 19 July 2007 10:48 (eighteen years ago)

How do you know it was a female dress?

― Tuomas, Thursday, 19 July 2007 11:00 (eighteen years ago)

It had a vagina.

― onimo, Thursday, 19 July 2007 11:53 (eighteen years ago)

great song

wtf is Geir on about up there?

― jabba hands, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:23 (eighteen years ago)

I think he posted a list of people who would impress Shania Twain.

― Tuomas, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:25 (eighteen years ago)

look at thread title

― Curt1s Stephens, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:26 (eighteen years ago)

the third verse is a bit weak. first verse: guy is smart. second verse: guy is good-looking. third verse: guy... has a car?

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:26 (eighteen years ago)

I think it's about a guy who tries to impress her with his car. It's not like she's against brains or looks or cars per se, rather than men who think these attributes in themselves are enough to attract women.

― Tuomas, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:32 (eighteen years ago)

damn, woman, what's it going to take?

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:34 (eighteen years ago)

all these years in grad school...

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:34 (eighteen years ago)

how does Geir know that those people would impress Shania Twain? what is impressive about Rick Moranis?

i really want to understand Geir's joke

― jabba hands, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:35 (eighteen years ago)

damn, woman, what's it going to take?

Well, she wants something that'll "keep her warm in the middle of the night". So be sure to bring a flask of rum and a hot water bottle.

― Tuomas, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:37 (eighteen years ago)

i really want to understand Geir's joke

something to do with spectacles?

― blueski, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:40 (eighteen years ago)

or is it all about the same guy? verse one prefigures verse two by saying brain-man is vain. verse two mentions buff-guy's car. so hot, smart, car-owning guy still isn't cutting?

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:40 (eighteen years ago)

I've seen nothing to suggest that Brad Pitt is incapable of keeping Angelina warm in the middle of the night...the jury shall disregard the second verse...

― henry s, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:40 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think we're talking about absolute judgement here. She doesn't state that Brad Pitt can't keep his woman warm in the middle of the night, she merely says that Bradpittness in itself isn't a guarantee of warm-keeping abilities. He still needs to prove them.

― Tuomas, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:45 (eighteen years ago)

i can't imagine a man writing a song like this about a woman.

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:48 (eighteen years ago)

millions of songs reducing women to caricatures - hardly any of them as funny as this

― jabba hands, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:54 (eighteen years ago)

the nearest equivalent is maybe rnb dudes doing the 'i need a real woman who does (list of things they'd like)'

― blueski, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:55 (eighteen years ago)

hilarious!

― Surmounter, Thursday, 19 July 2007 14:37 (eighteen years ago)

Obviously she's just looking for someone who doesn't own a car, a mirror, or a comb. Or a brain. Is that too much to ask?

― dad a, Thursday, 19 July 2007 18:12 (eighteen years ago)

I think she's impressed with the Def Leppard records released between 1981 and 1987

― Richard Wood Johnson, Thursday, 19 July 2007 20:37 (eighteen years ago)

Her husband is, surely. Whether Shania is as well... ?
