The best albums, tours, festivals and songs to play when you’re in the Jacuzzi, starring Leona Lewis, Paramore, 50 Cent, Weezer, Missy Elliott and more.
Missy Elliott She’s a gold medalist at Dance Dance Revolution and has a thing for Jesus’s feet.
We’re at a barbecue and your new CD comes on—what happens? Guys get behind the girls; girls start shaking—dirty dancing, but classy.
Ever been rescued by a lifeguard? I
don’t put myself in those situations, because I don’t know how to swim.
I have pools at my house, but I don’t get in ’em. I go to the beach and
my friends laugh at me ’cause I wear the whole scuba outfit—snorkel,
flippers. It’s crazy.
Mandals: yes or no?Oh,
God! I don’t care too much for guys in sandals. Except for Jesus and
Moses, I don’t know where they got they sandals from, but they had the
real sandals.
Do you like drinks with umbrellas? Nah.
I like drinks that come with no straw, no ice, no chaser. Pátron
vodka—straight up. I don’t drink much, so when I do, I’m goin’ all in.
Who would you rather see in a Speedo: Obama or McCain?[Cracks
up.] You said John McCain! Most definitely Obama. He’d be hot. He’s
handsome. But I’d rather see Obama in shelltoes and a hoodie, to be
honest.
What sport would you like to see added to the Summer Olympics?Dance Dance Revolution. I play it every day. I have the pad for the PlayStation. I do it as a workout.
Ever gotten lucky in a Jacuzzi?Not in a Jacuzzi. Not in a hot tub. Not in a swimming pool. Not the water spots. But in the backseat of a car? Yeah.
Can you give us a freestyle rhyme about summer? Layin’ on the beach, wipe my body down in lotion/It’s the summertime, and I stay out the ocean!
Missy Elliott’s Fanomenal
is out in June.
