I’ve never had an Aperol spritz as far as I remember, but I’ve been semi-obsessed with this song since I first heard it last week on a playlist of stuff chosen by the New York Times. (That’s right, as 57-year-old man, I sometimes get tips on what’s new and hip on the music scene from a newspaper. Don’t hate.)
This is the next step in a logical sequence from That Chick Angel’s “Margarita Song,” which was song of the year in 2023. Whereas Angel at least demanded multiple margaritas before getting into the heavy stuff, all this girl asks for is one Aperol Spritz and it’s off to the races:
On the one hand, she sounds like she’s having fun, and who am I to judge?
And then my inner dad voice pipes up and says, “Young lady, that’s no way to live your life.”
On the third hand, that kind of boldness is certainly sexy. Then again it all seems very unsanitary. So I’m confused.
The tiebreaker, I guess, is the music, which I find almost maddeningly catchy. It’s sleek and relentless and just grating enough to be really memorable.
On further research I see that the group — the aptly named “deBasement” — is made up of two women, and that makes it OK, right? It’s empowering when they debase themselves, isn’t that what we say? I can’t quite make up my mind… let me hear it again.
I needed clarification, so I googled the lyrics. You’re right, very catchy.
Buy me a drink Aperol Spritz
1,2,3 Out come my tits
4,5,6 Take a bump a hit
8,9,10 Now I’m sucking dick
Hey I really just can’t complain
We’re up all night and dance all day
I wanna see you shake to the 808
Up down left right in my face
Buy me a drink Aperol Spritz
1,2,3 Out come my tits
4,5,6 Take a bump a hit
8,9,10 Now I’m sucking dick
Hey I really just can’t complain
We’re up all night and dance all day
I wanna see you shake to the 808
Up down left right in my face
1,2,3
Out come my tits
4,5,6
Take a bump a hit
1,2,3
Out come my tits
4,5,6
Now I’m sucking dick
When you type in your number
First put the country code
I don’t remember your name
And I’m new to this time zone
Just breezed through customs
Said I had a disorder
And I tricked every little piggy
That was at the boarder
Highkey you don’t want a bitch like me
In your city
I’m finna rob a bank
And buy all the dolls titties
You can slut me out
Got my name all in your mouth
From Ibiza to Berlin
You know what we’re talking bout
Buy me a drink Aperol Spritz
1,2,3 Out come my tits
4,5,6 Take a bump a hit
8,9,10 Now I’m sucking dick
Hey I really just can’t complain
We’re up all night and dance all day
I wanna see you shake to the 808
Up down left right in my face
1,2,3
Out come my tits
4,5,6
Take a bump a hit
1,2,3
Out come my tits
4,5,6
Now I’m sucking dick
Do it up down left right
Up down left right
Up down left right
Now I’m sucking dick
Up down left right
Up down left right
Up down left right
Now I’m sucking dick
Then throw it back
Then throw it back
Then throw it back
And drop it
Then throw it back
Then throw it back
Then throw it back
And drop it
Then throw it back
Then throw it back
Then throw it back
And drop it

Then drop it
Buy me a drink Aperol Spritz
1,2,3 Out come my tits
4,5,6 Take a bump a hit
8,9,10 Now I’m sucking dick
Hey I really just can’t complain
We’re up all night and dance all day
I wanna see you shake to the 808
Up down left right in my face
1,2,3
Out come my tits
4,5,6
Take a bump a hit
1,2,3
Out come my tits
4,5,6
Now I’m sucking dick
Then throw it back

Then throw it back
And drop it
Then throw it back

Then throw it back
Then throw it back
Then throw it back
And drop it
Then throw it back
Then throw it back
Then drop it
