about

“I wrote SHAMOO as an anthem to my late Dad’s suburban that was passed down to me when I was 16. Driving around in that truck provided me an outlet to deal with my grief, gave me a sense of connection to my Dad and eventually became my go to safe space where I could let it all hang out.”, says MEGG.

“Not only was Shamoo my saving grace, but it quickly became that same safe space for my friends! It was the running joke, “Hey - I’m having a shit day. Can you pick me up and take me for a ride in Shamoo?” There is just something so damn magical about riding around in that beast so I wrote this song as an invitation to join me on the wild ride of letting go. SHAMOO doesn’t care who you are, what you’ve been through or what you’ve done; she only aims to accept you as you are. I hope this song can be to the listeners what my Dad’s suburban always was for me: an escape, a home and a guaranteed good time.

Although the single’s inspiration came from a solemn place, the track itself couldn’t be further from that. SHAMOO is a total party banger with fat guitars, live drums and a whole lotta attitude stemming from MEGG’s love for pop music mixed with her SoCal beach punk roots. MEGG’s attention grabbing vocals and catchy hooks make this song one to add to any feel-good, summer or driving playlist.

lyrics

She got an ass like a monster
She guzzles gas like a monster
She doesn’t care
If you wake up late
If you overate last night

I get in trouble so I talk to her
We in the bubble so I rock with her
She doesn’t care
If you look like shit
If you smell like it “oh well”
& I know that you’re tired babe
Cuz I am too
Throw your shit in the backseat I’ll make some room

Hey! You!
I’m talking to you
Get the fuck in my car
And if you’re scared I’ll show you what we do
We put our middle fingers up
when we ride in SHAMOO

Hey! You!
I’m talking to you
It can get really hard
And if you’re scared you know what we can do
We’ll put our middle fingers up
And we’ll ride in SHAMOO

She can take us to the South Bay
I’ll show you how to forget my way
When you breathe in that ocean air
You forget you care at all

You gotta know that you can talk to me
I got tinted windows it can get ugly
Nobody care if it’s all your fault
If it’s not at all, “so what"

& I know that you’re tired babe
Cuz I am too
Throw your shit in the back
Leave it in the rear view

Hey! You!
I’m talking to you
Get the fuck in my car
And if you’re scared I’ll show you what we do
We put our middle fingers up when we ride in SHAMOO

Hey! You!
I’m talking to you
It can get really hard
And if you’re scared you know what we can do
We’ll put our middle fingers up
And we’ll ride in SHAMOO

For the single mom
For the one whose lost
For the boy who never bloomed
I’ma hot box, peel out, live it up, freak it out In the name of you
I’m talking to the guys and the girls
And the whole damn world
All the misfits in between
I don’t care, who you are, ride or die, in my car
Just get the fuck in my car

Hey! You!
I’m talking to you
Get the fuck in my car
And if you’re scared I’ll show you what we do
We put our middle fingers up when we ride in SHAMOO

Hey! You!
I’m talking to you
It can get really hard
And if you’re scared you know what we can do We’ll put our middle fingers up

And we’ll ride in SHAMOO
Middle fingers up! Middle fingers up! Middle fingers up! I’m talking to you I’m talking to you
We put our middle fingers up when we ride in SHAMOO HEY!
