Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox song "Bawitdaba" is a song by American singer Kid Rock from his fourth studio album, Devil Without a Cause (1998). Serviced to US rock radio in February 1999, "Bawitdaba" helped push the success of the album. It has since become one of Kid Rock's most popular songs, receiving critical praise and entering the top 10 on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, as well as on the New Zealand Singles Chart.

Background

"Bawitdaba" has been described as having a nu metal sound. Its chorus has been described as a "neo-gregorian drone"; this chorus was derived from hip hop chants, such as the refrain from the Sugar Hill Gang's "Rapper's Delight". The lyrics of the song are dedicated to "the shots of Jack", "chicks with beepers", as well as "all the crackheads, the critics, the cynics / And all my heroes in the methadone clinic."

On the demo recording of the song, Kid Rock shouts, "Now get in the pit and try to kill someone!" For the album version, he replaced "kill" with "love." Kid Rock told The Baltimore Sun that he was glad he had changed the lyric, explaining that mosh pits are about coexistence.

Reception

"Bawitdaba" is considered to be one of Kid Rock's best songs. In 2009, "Bawitdaba" was named the 47th best hard rock song of all time by VH1.
