The Ketchup Song (Asereje)

[Lemonade]

So do the lyrics from the chorus in that song actually mean anything in any language? When it came out I always thought it was Spanish, (since some of the verses have Spanish words) but I saw the video on TV this morning with the words along the bottom and it's obviously not Spanish (I speak a little Spanish, but I couldn't when the song came out)

So

Asereje ja de je de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva,

majavi an de bugui an de buididipi,

What the hell does that mean?!

[some_kinda_hate]

I like it because..ketchup is sauce..and I..have a weird obsession with sauce..

but aye, I dunno...maybe it means

"get sauced with meee for I like le saucee.. oh ayeeeeeee.. lets get sauceeeeeeedddd"

I would like it to be that

I've stuck the lyrics of that song into loads of web translators and got nothing.

I've Googled it for ages and no Andalusian/ English translation of those damned lyrics come up.

This really is the challenge of the day.

I think it might just be totally made up, however the word 'buididipi' is one of my favourite words now. It has definite Spanish undertone, with the 'j' being pronounced as 'ch' like in Spanish.

The song is about 'Diego', a Rasta Gypsy who really likes the old skool rap classic "Rappers Delight" by the Sugar Hill Gang. So he tries to sing it, but as he is Andalusian, instead of

"I said a hip hop the hippie the hippie

to the hip hip hop, a you dont stop

the rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie

to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat"

it comes out as

"Aserejé ja de jé de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva

Majavi an de bugui an de buididipi

Aserejé ja de jé de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva

Majavi an de bugui an de buididipi"

which is the phonetic equivalent, but written in quasi-Andalusian.

FROSTYFACT.

But how can it be? Look at the Andalusian. It's just two lines repeated. Perhaps it's just the

"I said a hip hop the hippie the hippie

to the hip hip hop, a you dont stop"

part repeated twice.
