Lyrics:
Fopped last night and the night before
I had to fopp outside and then I went indoor
Fopped so hard I made the people roar
They stood back and gave me all the floor
I did the fopp, the fopp
They wouldn't let me stop
Yeah I was foppin' and rockin'
Had the whole house boppin'

Foppin', the way it makes you go, everybody was
Foppin', everywhere you go, do all your
Shoppin', wiggle to the floor, everybody was
Foppin'

Fopp with me and I'll fopp with you
Foppin' is the brand new thing to do
Fopped so hard that I lost my shoe
I fopped so tough they had to make some room
Break your leg, don't you pop your back
Do your thing, don't you give no slack
Shake your hips and then you turn around
Well first you fopp it up
And then you fopp it down

Fopp me right, don't you fopp me wrong
We'll be here foppin' all night long
I'm too short, baby, but you're too tall,
But when we're foppin' that don't mean a thing at all, yeah

Foppin', the way it makes you go, everybody was
Foppin', everywhere you go, do all your
Shoppin', wiggle to the floor, everybody was
Foppin'
Yeah

Fopp and rock
Fopp and rock
Yeah, I did the fopp and rock
Fopp and rock
Oh, fopp and rock
Yeah, I did the fopp and rock
Yeah, fopp and rock
Yeah, I did the fopp and rock
Yeah

Damn does this song rock! Gotta hand it to the Ohio Players for and awesome tune, and to Soundgarden for taking it to another level. I gotta ask like I've asked before, though....is that really Chris singing the whole thing? How can he switch from the heavy grungy voice to the falsetto metal voice so quickly???

I think it's : I fopped so tough they had to make some (rule). It makes more sense than 'room' to me, like he really was fopping tough.

I hope no one thinks this is about sex. Cause if so, they're stupid. It's about fashion and dancing. Just look at the lyrics, the go on wikipedia and research a "Fopp". Not the usual from SG, but it rocks ass.

it isn't falsetto... it's Mr Cornell's Amazing Screeching Wail
