"Get it? Blaze chocolate tie."

[Lisa-go-Blind]

I’m asking about the song “Daddy” by the R&B/hip-hop singer Kelis. In particular, this section:

Yesterday he bought me some shoes
Dolce and Gabbana and a bag made of iguana
And a blazer and a chocolate tie
Get it? Blaze chocolate tie

What does “blaze chocolate tie” mean? Am I even supposed to “get it”? I’m completely lost here.

I do not get it. But sounding it out is starting to make me feel like an idiot.

Blah-zaychoc-ohla-tie?

Blayzcho-colate-ie?

It’s just like those damned people with their impossible vanity plates. ARRGH! :mad:

I can’t help you - I still don’t know what her damned milkshake is. (And if you think I’m going to look it up in the Urban Dictionary, well, you’re probably right, but I have to steel myself for that first.)

I think it means Chocolate Thai–a type (strain) of, um, herbal refreshment.

Who needs the Urban Dictionary? Here’s a very nice deconstruction of the whole thing.

Ah, thanks. That’s something I wouldn’t have come up with on my own.

Thanks,** Daddy-o.**
So, her milkshake is just her shaking her skanky boobies? Big whoop.

I think Kelis may need help writing songs that aren’t completely lame.

D’oh! I thought it was her shaking her skanky booty. Consider ignorance fought.
