Album: Space Jam soundtrack
Year: 1996
Jay Ski encourages the crowd to get pumped in the exasperating “Space Jam.â€
Cheering from a large audience is in the background as Hook Girl tells people to get involved. The club, Space Jam, is on fire in the first chorus.
In the first bridge, a thumping bass accompanies Jay Ski as he invites people to move roughly on the dance floor.
The women in the crowd start chanting “uh-huh†with a piercing bass. Jay Ski says it’s time for the party to begin. He takes a hit from a joint and then shows off his muscles. He tells people to enjoy the bass and be as creative as possible. He yells to the DJ to make their music louder and tells the people sitting on the chairs to join the party.
The first chorus is sung again.
In the second chorus, Hook Girl resorts to a cliché. She asks everyone to do the standard arm motion if they are having fun. She adds that the Quad City DJ’s are going to close the club down.
In the second bridge, Jay Ski references his first hit song “Whoot! There It Is!â€
The first bridge is sung twice.
In the second verse, he hits on a girl using basketball metaphors. After staring at each other, he wants her to make the first move. He says they are a couple. However, he’s one calling the shots. He says they have to dance and then go back to his apartment. There, she will have sex with him and he will determine the position.
The first and second choruses are sung again.
In the third bridge, he asks the women if they want to go home. They yell back they don’t. He responds that it’s a fun party. He does the same with the men.

“Everybody get up it's time to slam now/We got a real jam goin' down/Welcome to the space jam/Here's your chance, do your dance at the space jam/Alright.â€
In the first bridge, a thumping bass accompanies Jay Ski as he invites people to move roughly on the dance floor.
“Come on and slam, and welcome to the jam/Come on and slam, if you wanna jam.â€

“Hey you, watcha gonna do/Hey you, watcha gonna do/Hey you, watcha gonna do/Hey you, watcha gonna do/Party people in the house let’s go/It's your boy "Jayski" a'ight so/Pass that thing and watch me flex/Behind my back, you know what's next/To the jam, all in your face/Wassup, just feel the bass/Drop it, rock it, down the room/Shake it, quake it, space kaboom/Just work that body, work that body/Make sure you don't hurt nobody/Get wild and lose your mind/Take this thing into overtime/Hey dj, turn it up/QCD, goin' burn it up/C'mon y'all get on the floor/So hey, let's go a'ight.â€

“Wave your hands in the air if you feel fine/We're gonna take it into overtime/Welcome to the space jam/Here's your chance, do your dance at the space jam/Alright.â€
In the second bridge, Jay Ski references his first hit song “Whoot! There It Is!â€
“C'mon it's time to get hyped say "Hoop there it is"/C'mon all the fellas say "Hoop there it is"/C'mon one time for the ladies say "Hoop there it is"/
Now all the fellas say "Hoop there it is"/C'mon and run, baby run/C'mon, C'mon, do it, run baby run/Yeah, you want a hoop, so shoot, baby shoot.â€

“Slam, bam, thank you ma'am/Get on the floor and jam/It's the QCD on the microphone/Girl you got me in the zone/C'mon, c'mon and start the game/Break it down, tell me your name/We the team, I'm the coach/Let's dance all night from coast to coast/Just slide, from left to right/Just slide, yourself tonight/QCD, drop the base/3-point-1 all in your face/Jam on it, let's have some fun/Jam on it, one on one/You run the hole and I run the "D"/So c'mon baby just jam for me.â€
The first and second choruses are sung again.
In the third bridge, he asks the women if they want to go home. They yell back they don’t. He responds that it’s a fun party. He does the same with the men.
“Hey ladies!/"Yeah"/Y'all ready stop?/"No!"/Y'all wanna know why?/
"Why?"/’Cause it's a slam jam/Fellas/"Yeah"/Y'all ready to stop/"No!â€/Ya’ll wanna know why/Why/’Cause it’s a slam jam.â€
The first and choruses are sung again.
Jay Ski fills the last minute by saying “na, na, na, na†and “yeah, yeah†and has the crowd do the same.
In the single, Jay-Ski plagiarizes himself. The song itself is a blatant rewrite of “Whoot! There It Is!†from almost the start. It’s a lazy and downright laughable attempt to get out of writing a new single.
“Space Jam†is an unoriginal, ordinary party song.
