Here's some:

"I like Beyonce
But she's with Jigga

I like Rihanna
She dey make dey go GAGA
I like Omotola

etc etc

My best part:

But you no fit sing 'im songs

People are saying he was sampling Fela's style of singing here. I wish the beat was better, too mediocre coming from IDJA. Maybe a remix will improve it.

d song is a true confession of his SO MUCH likeness for GENEVIEVE,he mentioned oda female names but didn't say much abt dem as he did wt GENEVIEVE. pls note dat he deliberately mentioned her name last so he could profess his love indirectly.He mentioned omotola's name as a cover up.IMO

I'm sure those that are claiming to like the song have turned on their equaliser to remove the lyrics,
the breat, good , but lyrics, aweful
whatz even the base for the track title?

"Oliver Twist" is a story about an orphan in an orphanage, who one day made the greatest error of saying "I want some more" when they were being given food grin grin grin

Now an "Oliver Twist" is a term for someone who asks for more or is GREEDY grin grin grin

In the song, D'banj confesses to like so many girls eg Genevieve, Omotola, Nadia, Beyonce, Rihanna. . . .


You can see he is VERY greedy grin grin grin grin

True there is nothing to write home about this music. But it will be a great hit and will receive heavy play in clubs and party because Don Jazzy and Dbanj knows the formula to make hits and dance-able music. Mar my word, this music will be on everybody's lips soon and he has already employed a gimmick (sending Oliver Twist clips to youtube and win a price) That alone si already a phenomenon these guys are pure genius.

What makes you an entrepreneur? Creativity is one of it. Go to youtube and count the number of “oliver twist” videos uploaded already, then come back here and tell me (us) if you have finally discovered the idea behind thE song! Oliver twist is not about the lyrics, beat, delivery etc. It’s about getting buddies together to free style. Imagine what will happen if the song is played in a night club… FREESTYLE

Many people don't understand the song and therefore do not appreciate it because they do not know the meaning of an Oliver Twist. They apparently did not read the Oliver Twist novel. Put simply, an Oliver Twist is a person who is not satisfied and wants to have everything. Applying that definition to D'Banj's Oliver Twist song, D'Banj is talking about a guy who wants to have all the girls. He wants to have, among other girls, Beyonce, even though she is with Jigga; Nicki Minaj, because her nyansh is bigger; Rihanna, because he makes him gaga; Omotola, because people like her; Genevieve, because she is so sweet; and Nadia Buari, because she does not drink gari.

And the last part of the song immediately before the chorus says, "You want to have them all, because you are just an Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist." Rather than for some people to say they do not understand a song and humbly ask for interpretation, they simply say the song makes no sense. Bottom line, the song is entertaining and will be a hit.

As usual, once white people start to like the song and give it the Oyinbo stamp of approval, all these people with inferiority complex who had earlier claimed to hate the song will now claim that they now like the song--that it grew on them.
