Ricky Martin's first attempt at She Bangs was a lyrical failure, and he almost abandoned the song. His producers suggested
that he try again with an idea other than food.
Here are the original (rejected) lyrics.
Ummm... I sort of have the hots for Shego.
Hunger Pangs
Talk to me Stom-ach a-flame You set me off but it's all the same You lit a fuse and now I'm
ticking away Like a bomb Yeah, Baby
Talk to me Tell me I'm fine I eat so much I feel like a swine You're playing games and now you're
hittin' my tum Like a drum Yeah, Baby
Well if Lady Luck gets on my side I'm gonna eat this chick-en fried... I'll let it rough me up Till
it knocks me out It walks like it talks, And it talks like it walks
[Refrain] Hunger pangs, hunger pangs Oh baby When it moves, it moves I go crazy 'Cause the food
I de-vour and the beer I will pee Like every guy in history Hunger pangs, hunger pangs
I'm wasted by the way it moves Nothing ever looked so fine It reminds me that a guy's only got one
thing on his mind...
Talk to me Stom-ach a-flame (Pepperoni was much to blame) Your slap ends my mid-day Nap
to the stars Yeah, Baby
Talk to me Tell me the news You wear me out with like a million chews We'll dance until the food
goes down Then you're gone Yeah, Baby
Well if it looks like food should be a crime You'd better lock me up for life I'll do the time with
a smile on my face Thinking of food and the beer by the case
[Refrain] Hunger pangs, hunger pangs Oh baby When it moves, it moves I go crazy 'Cause the food
I de-vour and the beer I will pee Like every guy in history Hunger pangs, hunger pangs
I'm wasted by the way it moves Nothing ever looked so fine It reminds me that a guy's only got one
thing on his mind...
[Instrumental]
Well if Lady Luck gets on my side I'm gonna eat this chick-en fried... I'll let it rough me up Till
it knocks me out It walks like it talks, And it talks like it walks
[Refrain] Hunger pangs, hunger pangs Oh baby When it moves, it moves I go crazy 'Cause the food
I de-vour and the beer I will pee Like every guy in history
Hunger pangs, hunger pangs It moves, it moves Hunger pangs, hunger pangs It moves, it moves
