Titolo: Testo canzone.

Probabilmente sono OT, ma mi č sembrato il newsgroup che fosse piů
adatto.
In pratica, vorrei un aiuto per tradurreil ritornello di una canzone di
cui non riesco a comprendere il significato:
If you're looking for the man that can
Go check all the girls messing up with your program
With lyrics that make you say damn
The booty man can
Click off, click on 
www.cd.com
International bomb (come on) (bomb)
The booty man's really got it going on
(il testo completo della canzone l'ho trovato a questo indirizzo:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/alan.stuart/music/craig/bootyman.html
 )
Grazie in anticipo, Fulvio.

 The booty man's really got it going on
Questo è un uomo in gamba
Più umile che il booty man,
Ron

Si Ron hai centrato in pieno!
La canzone e' di Craig David, una nuova star del rythm'n'blues inglese.
cmq, la risposta per tradurre il testo e' nelle altre 10 canzoni del Cd
"Born to do it"...
sono praticamente uguali...
in 11 canzoni si sc**a almeno 24 donne!! :)
il "booty man" e' lui! ;)
se fosse veramente cosi' mi augurerei di trovarne tanti!
see ya!

 significa la culetta, e anche i rapporti sessuali. Per esempio, il "booty
call"
cos'e' una "culetta"?

Nessun ti ha mai dato una pacca sulla . . . ?
Ma dai, IH870, non sai della suffissetta per dare la sfumatoretta alle parolette
italiane?
Ciao,

 italiane?
in questo caso è un diminuitivo, ma puoi anche usare altre parole oppure un
eufemismo

 dell'abilità in italiano. Però posso darti alcune idee.
Actually, it's not Rap... it's Two-Step (or UK Garage if you prefer), a very
common kind of music in Britain
nowadays.

ehheehhe era una delle possibilita' che avevo considerato.... mi ha
ingannato il femminile. Come sai genere e numero sono errori riservati agli
stranieri ;)

 stranieri ;)
Come mai il culetto č maschile? Voi italiani siete pazzi! ;-)

How do you answer back our questions about pronunciation?!?!?!? ;)
However I feel that
Culo [Latin: culu(m)] is masculine since Romans were queers!


Grazie mille per l'aiuto!
Ciao Fulvio.

 nowadays.
I've never heard Booty Man's music, but the slang and simple rhyme style are
indistinguishable from Rap. How is UK Garage different? Is the analogy similar
to Eric Clapton singing Rhythm and Blues?

 e non affascinante.
Dovrei chiarire che intendevo dire "affascinante" con le connotazioni
fondomentalmente fisiche.

He has many influences from Hip Hop music, in the album in two or three
songs there are at least 2 minutes of rap,
in fact the author of the song, was a dee jay before a singer and he mixed
up a lot of  Rap gigs,
he also sang with Artful Dodger.
Anyway, he's pretty you, he'll turn 20 in May.
:)
Two-Step is now the new genre of UK Garage,
you can check it out here:

it's a really a cool site!
Well, I think is pretty different from "slow hand" (E.C.)
but is quite similar to the new R'n'B.

I wasn't comparing Rhythm and Blues to Rap or UK Garage. I was wondering if UK
Garage tries to emulate American Rap, in the same way that Eric Clapton tried to
emulate American Rhythm and Blues. But, in fact, Gioia, my interest in
categories is lower than that of most people. Instead, I'll make an effort some
time to hear a few cuts and see if they are distinguishable to my ears.

Gioia has already answered on my behalf, but may I add that you were
completely right Ron,
in fact UK Garage tries to emulate Rap, but certainly R'n'B and US Garage
too.
As you mention another artist like Clapton, there is an analogy indeed,
since Britons have a particular skill in readapting foreign kinds of music
(especially American) by creating new ones themselves with no excessive
cribbing.
Hoping you'll be able to listen to some two-step
