On this. the 20th anniversary of Lil’ Jon’s seminal work, “Get Low”, we apply critical eye to the meaning of skeet

  1. Why skeet?
  2. Seriously, ‘skeet’ means ejaculate.
  3. This song takes place in a club. Is he ejaculating in a nightclub?
  4. Is he removing his trousers and undergarments to do so, or is he ruining another pair of Hanes? His mom is gonna be so mad on laundry day.
  5. If he’s removing his pantaloons to ‘skeet’, why is no one else at the club saying anything? Surely this is against the club policy.
  6. Is he skeeting on the dance floor? Like leaving his ejaculate on the dance floor? People could slip in that and get very hurt
  7. Is he skeeting on the club’s couches and furniture? That would result in quite the dry cleaning bill. Surely this club is lit with blacklights

8. The song includes the lyrics “to the window/to the wall”. Is this to imply that this nightclub has windows? What discotheque has windows?

9. Are people looking in through the windows, watching this deranged man skeet on the dance floor?
