(Hey!) I'm a man who comes from a higher ground, (A continuation of the lyrics, "Though I've loved you for a million years," Wonder parodies these lyrics to relate them more to his opponent, who he says has "sucked" for the 5,000 or so years she has been alive.) (This is a reference to the lyrics of Wonder's song "You Are the Sunshine of My Life", "I feel like this is the beginning." Wonder also sings the line similar to the tune in his song.)īut you have sucked for a few thousand years! I feel like this is the beginning, (ohhh!) She also mockingly calls him "Little Stevie", which was his stage name when he was a young performer.) Stevie Wonder: (Wonder Woman references another Stevie Wonder song, "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing". So you don't gotta worry 'bout a thing, Little Stevie! Wonder Woman calls Stevie a bat (a flying mammal commonly referred to as being blind, hence the phrase, "being as blind as a bat"), while also saying she won't let his defeat be too harsh.) (Wonder Woman and Batman were briefly in a romantic relationship before they agreed to just stay friends. At the same time, she states that Stevie Wonder is going bald like he went through chemotherapy, or treatment for cancer patients, since he is losing his hair.)īut don't be scared, I let bats down easy, Wonder Woman makes fun of this by comparing his appearance to the Predators, the eponymous alien species from the Predator film franchise, who also sport a similar hairstyle. (Stevie Wonder sports dreadlocks, but he is also balding. Lookin' like the Predator after some chemotherapy! (Wonder Woman references yet another one of Stevie's songs, "I Just Called to Say I Love You", while insulting his braided hair.) I just called to say that you need to ditch the hair beads! This is also a play on the previous line because if the gods broke the mold they used to create her, then Wonder Woman would be unique, making her in a league of her own.) She may also be playing on the phrase "in a league of their own", suggesting that she is out of Stevie Wonder's league.
She makes a pun, comparing herself to Davis because they are both associated with leagues. The Justice League is the superhero group that Wonder Woman is a part of.
(Geena Davis played a main role in the 1992 baseball film A League of Their Own. I'm like Geena Davis, in a justice league of my own! While not being the first female superhero, Wonder Woman was created in a distinctly proto-feminist perspective and was illustrated to represent female leadership, which was considered a breakthrough in the genre of superhero comic books, thus demonstrating the phrase, "break the mold".) (Wonder Woman refers to her birth in which she was literally formed out of clay by her mother, Hippolyta, and given life and superhuman powers by the Greek Gods. Gods made me out of clay, then they broke the mold! (Wonder Woman lists traits that she believes Stevie Wonder stole from Ray Charles, such as his smile and sunglasses when performing, as well as the "head sway" (a movement that one makes where they sway their head back and forth in a similar manner to a cobra) that Wonder makes whilst performing.) The grin and the shades and the King Cobra head sway! She introduces this by referencing Charles' song "What'd I Say?".) Like Wonder, Charles was also a blind African-American singer-songwriter who made music on most of Wonder's genres. (Wonder Woman claims that Stevie Wonder stole, or "bit", Ray Charles' musical and physical style (as explained in the following line). I'll tell you what I say! You bit your style from Ray! This also references Wonder Woman's Amazon origins.) Additionally, this is a follow-up to the previous line, as Amazon Prime, a delivery service, guarantees fast shipping that is signed, sealed, and delivered on time. Wonder Woman is immortal and does not age past her prime. (Wonder Woman insults Stevie Wonder by pointing out his receding hairline and for being past his prime while claiming she is still in hers. You a bald has-been I'm in my amazon prime!
(Referencing Stevie Wonder's album Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Wonder Woman states that she delivers her lyrics quickly and efficiently.)
My rhymes are signed, sealed, and delivered on time! Wonder Woman makes a pun on this nickname and states that, unlike the Princess, she will not die.) (Wonder Woman's real name is shared by the late Princess Diana of Wales who died in a car crash in 1997, who was also referred to by the name "Lady Di". "Fly" can also be a slang term for cool, and Wonder Woman will explain why she is "fly" in her verses.) (One of Wonder Woman's superpowers is the ability to fly. Wonder Woman fly, I'm about to tell you why:
