"Whatzupwitu" (pronounced "What's Up with You") is a song by Eddie Murphy released as a single on March 30, 1993 to promote the artist's studio album, Love's Alright. Michael Jackson is featured on the song as well as in the music video.
The track was recorded in January 1992. Jackson decided to participate in the song and video since he thought the lyrics had a positive message.
Music video[]
"Whatzupwitu" has been noted for its music video, directed by Wayne Isham and Klasky Csupo, which was inspired by the album's cover art and also uses computer graphics. This followed Murphy's guest appearance in Jackson's music video for "Remember the Time". It was voted by MTV viewers in 1999 as the third worst music video of all time, and permanently retired on the channel until it was last shown on the MTV special 25 Lame.[1]
Lyrics[]
[Intro]
The elephant is dying
[Verse 1]
Sun is gonna shine
Flowers gonna grow
The clouds will sprinkle showers
The river's gonna flow
Man ain't got the power
To kill nothin' but himself
Man is a creation
Man is nothin' else, oh
[Chorus]
What's up, what's up, what's up with you?
What's up, what's up with you?
(What's up with you?)
What's up, what's up, what's up with you?
What's up, what's up with you?
(What's up with you?)
[Verse 2]
Always is the mountain, always is the trees
Always is the ocean, always is the seas
(What's up with you?)
We can't stop this world 'cause it's not our world
We can just jack each other up (Jack each other up)
(Hee) Heavenly Father been mighty patient
He got your number, peeped your disease
(He knows you're fallin', you're fallin', you're fallin')
Fallin'
Man is a creation
Man is nothin' else, oh
[Chorus]
What's up, what's up, what's up with you? (What's up?)
What's up, what's up with you?
(What's up with you?)
What's up, what's up, what's up with you? (What's up with you?)
What's up, what's up with you? (What's up, what's up with you?)
[Bridge]
Always is the mountain
(Always is the trees)
Always is the ocean
(Always is the seas)
(Ohh, baby, hear the children sing)
What's up with you? With you
(What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?)
What's up? What's up with you?
You, you, you
You, you, you-ooh
(What's up? What's up? What's up with you?)
What's up with you?
(What's up?)
What's up?
(Hee, hee, ohh)
Ooh, hey, oh, God
(Hee, hee, what's up with you?)
Ah, ah
(Wha-ha, what's up? What's up?)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
(What's up with you?)
[Chorus]
What's up, what's up, what's up with you? (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ha)
(What's up? What's up?)
What's up, what's up with you? (What's up?)
What's up with you?
What's up, what's up, what's up with you? (Tell me now what's up)
What's up, what's up with you? (Hee, what's up with you?)
[Outro]
What's up with you? What's up with you?
(La-la-la, la-la-la, hm)
What's up? Tell me now, what's up?
(La-la-la, la-la-la, hm)
What's up with you?
