Frank Ocean performing Forrest Gump at the Grammy's 2013
As said in other fora I think this singer & song & performance in combination are popculturally & socially (as in society) very important (and cool!).
Ocean is dressed up as a Royal Tenenbaum character.
And then the song is written out of Jenny’s, Forrest’s love interest’s perspective.
Still & again in awe.
The lyrics:
i wanna see your pom poms from the stands
come on come on
my fingertips & my lips
they burn from the cigarettes forrest gump
you run my mind boy
running on my mind boy forrest gump
i know you forrest
i know you wouldn’t hurt a beetle
but you’re so buff & so strong
i’m nervous forrest
forrest gump
my fingertips & my lips
they burn from the cigarettes forrest gump
you run my mind boy
running on my mind boy forrest gump
i saw your game forrest
i was screaming run 44
but you kept running past the end zone
where’d you go forrest
forrest gump
my fingertips & my lips
they burn from the cigarettes
forrest gump
you run my mind boy
running on my mind boy
forrest gump
forrest green
forrest blues
i’m remembering you
this is love i know its true
i won’t forget you
its for you forrest
forrest gump
