1. DJ Muggs & Mooch, “Belly” 

“Belly” // Soul Assassins // 2024

Sometimes, bangers come in small packages.  Size doesn’t always matter, folks! “Belly,” a collaboration between DJ Muggs and Mooch, clocks in under two minutes in duration. Albeit brief, “Belly” is a surefire vibe. It’s potent, baby! DJ Muggs delivers soulful production work. He samples the 1970s cover song “ストップ・ルック・リッスン (Stop, Look, Listen)” by late Japanese singer, Junko Ohashi. The lush backdrop is the perfect fuel for Mooch’s fire. His bars and flow are stellar.  “Belly” is a great way to launch 13 Sickening BELLY Songs. No tummy aches here!

2. Reneé Rapp, “Tummy Hurts” 

Snow Angel // Interscope // 2023  

“Maybe I should try religion / ‘Cause, Jesus, you’re hard to rely on.” Reneé Rapp doesn’t mince her words on “Tummy Hurts.” She continues singing in the first verse, “I’d never find you in the kitchen / You couldn’t even pay rent for three months.” Ooh-wee! “Tummy Hurts” is the 9th track from her 2023 LP, Snow Angel.   

Rapp penned “Tummy Hurts” alongside Delacey and producer Alexander 23. Alexander 23 assembles a winning instrumental for Rapp to paint upon. She sings beautifully and authentically in this ballad of utter regret. In the second verse, she feels unappreciated by him: “I just want some recognition / For having good tits and a big heart.” In the chorus, the bellyache arrives:

“Now my tummy hurts, he’s in love with her 

But for what it’s worth, they’d make beautiful babies 

And raise ‘em up to be a couple of  

Fucking monsters, like their mother and their father  

Eventually, 2043 

Someone’s gonna hurt their little girl like their daddy hurt me.” 

Oh, snap! Notably, the deluxe edition of her album features a remix of the song featuring Grammy-winner Coco Jones.

3. Imanbek & BYOR, “Belly Dancer”  

“Belly Dancer” // Musical Freedom Label Ltd. // 2022 

“Hey ladies, drop it down / Just want to see you touch the ground / Don’t be shy girl go bananza / Shake ya body like a belly dancer.” Woo! “Belly Dancer” sounds fresh in the hands of Grammy-winning Kazakh DJ/producer, Imanbek (Imanbek Zeikenov), and Russian DJ/producer, BYOR.  However, “Belly Dancer” is a remix of a 2004 Akon song, “Bananza (Belly Dancer)”. Imanbek and BYOR, who produced the remix, give it a dance-tinged, electronic makeover. “Belly Dancer” has a quicker tempo than the original. While a tropical vibe is still perceptible, it is less pronounced than the original. “Belly Dancer” sounds brand-new which speaks to the excellence served up by the DJs.  This fun cut is clubby and infectious to the nth degree.

4. INJI, “BELLYDANCING” 

“BELLYDANCING” // INJI // 2023

“Standing outside off my Versace / Fuck it, let’s go Mariachi.” Fuck yeah, INJI! In a variation at the end of the second verse of “BELLYDANCING”, the Turkish singer/songwriter drops another bomb: “I wish I had my Helly Hansen / Fuck it, let’s go belly dancing.” The two f-bombs are just part of INJI’s charm.  The intro is performed in Turkish, a cool, fitting touch. Of “BELLYDANCING,” via Ones to Watch, she asserts:

“This silly little song means A LOT to me…I’m so happy to have found a way to bring my culture from Türkiye into dance music… Secondly, it feels so fun to celebrate this Middle Eastern form of dance, alongside a Mexican form of music…” 

 The sound of “BELLYDANCING” falls under the pop umbrella, but incorporates dance, Mexican, and Middle Eastern music cues. INJI raps the two verses.  She sings the chorus which is tuneful to the nth degree: 

“So, let’s get in a car 

Take a shot in the dark 

Let it take you wherever 

It’s now or it’s never 

Lose myself in your eyes 

Take the lows with the highs 

If we’re rolling together 

I’m down for whatever.” 

Interestingly, she only mentions belly dancing once, never in the chorus.  Go figure! She penned “BELLYDANCING” alongside Neil Ormandy and producer, Diamond Pistols.  It is an engaging, entertaining, and satisfying two-minute listen.

5. Lil Baby & Gunna, “Belly”  

Drip Harder // Quality Control Music // Young Stoner Life // 2017 

“I got the drip, they call me Dripavelli.” Oh, snap! Gunna dominates “Belly” early on. “Belly” is the third track off his collaborative 2018 album, Drip Harder, with fellow Grammy-nominated rapper, Lil Baby. Gunna performs the intro, chorus, and first verse.  In the chorus, he asserts, “You niggas bogus, I see the imposters.” Woo! From there, in the first verse, he brags, “I got a bitch like Keisha off of Belly / Police got dogs and they can’t even smell me / Keep a cup, I got a lean belly / 20s on me, I call ‘em relish.” So, he references the movie, his lean stomach, and the lean in his belly.  He’s confident for sure.  Lil Baby gets in on the action in the second verse matching the confidence of Gunna. “I still rock the fitted, but I don’t be cappin’,” he raps, adding, “And I’m still in the trap, in the hood like a motor.” Even though Lil Baby earned success, he makes it known he’s a real one – NO CAP! Ghetto Guitar and Turbo produced the enjoyable trap banger.

6. Lil Uzi Vert, “Belly”  

Luv is Rage // Atlantic // 2015

“I’m from the beast of the Belly.” Noted, Lil Uzi Vert. The Grammy-nominated rapper is ‘turnt up’ early on “Belly,” the 11th track from Luv is Rage. Following the intro, the first reference to the 1998 film, Uzi Vert drops the fiery chorus.  “I’m from the beast of the Belly / Got all this bread like the deli,” he spits, adding, “My main bitch, her name is Keisha / My side bitch, her name is Kionna / Hanging with killers and robbers / Pull out my dick and she swallow.” Uzi Vert loves referencing oral if you’ve never noticed. Also, he’s sexing two different women! Sex references run abundant beyond the chorus, with Uzi unapologetically spitting, “I fuck your bitch with no condom,” “I pull out my dick and I poke her,” and “I’m fuckin’ yo bitch for the bonus.” Gah-day-um! He also flexes hard and gets violent. Neither is surprising in a trap song. Bobby Kritical and DJ Plugg produce providing a hard-hitting, trap backdrop. The drums are souped-up while the synths are malicious.  Set in a minor key, Lil Uzi Vert has ample fuel for his fire.

7. Rhett and Link, “It’s My Belly Button”

“It’s My Belly Button” // Mythical Entertainment // 2014

According to Rhett and Link, “It’s time that we unwrapped this gift / Let’s bring back the male midriff.”  Amen! I agree! The male midriff is the sugar honey iced tea 😍! On the cover art for their 2014 single, “Belly Button,” both Rhett and Link serve up hot belly buttons. Fellas that also excel in the belly button department, how about, Garrett Clayton, Lil Nas X, Michael Cimino, and Taylor Zakhar Perez to name a few? Phew 😮‍💨! Anyways, in the chorus of their silly song, the Mythical duo sing: “It’s my belly button, my belly belly button / I won’t pretend like it’s nothing / ‘Cause my belly belly button’s really really something / Something I want to show to you.” And guess what? We want to see it! I forgot to mention that ETHAN shines in the belly button department too… and being sans shirt 🚫 👕. Admittedly, I “Like It”.  Okay, okay – I’m being silly 🤪, and thirsty🥤. But when a song is about the male belly button, it deserves a silly blurb! “Uh! You should call me a seal, ‘cause I’m going full naval / I bedazzled it, I made a nugget dip, taste it,” Rhett and Link rap in the second verse, adding, “Hold up! Fill the hole up with molten gold / Molten gold nugget for my charm bracelet.” Oh, for the love of male belly buttons!

8. Billie Eilish, “Bellyache”  

dont smile at me (EP) // Darkroom / Interscope // 2017 

“Mind, mind.” Word, Billie Eilish. Two words precisely. “Bellyache,” an early, multiplatinum Eilish song, commences with a warm intro featuring lovely vocal harmonies. The lushness is replaced by rhythmic guitar and a subtle percussive groove.  That is perfect fuel for Billie’s fire.  A 15-year-old Eilish showcases immense talent, years before her breakthrough, debut LP, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? arrived. Her voice is gorgeous. The melodies are tuneful.  The songwriting is dark from a psychopathic perspective: “My friends aren’t far / In the back of my car / Lay their bodies.” Oh, snap! Guilty, she asserts, “I’m bitin’ my nails / I’m too young to go to jail / It’s kinda funny.” Also, dark: “Everything I do / The way I wear my noose / Like a necklace.” Wow… The production by her brother, FINNEAS, is an ear-catching vibe. Nearly a minute and a half into “Bellyache,” during the chorus, the sound changes, with more electronic production cues. Here, Billie sings: 

“Maybe it’s in the gutter 

Where I left my lover 

What an expensive fake 

My V is for Vendetta 

Thought that I’d feel better 

But now I got a bellyache 

(Mind).” 

“Bellyache,” a highlight from don’t smile at me, showcased her talent early on.  It still shines, years later, even as Eilish has evolved and grown artistically.

9-10. Dave Matthews Band, “Belly Belly Nice” / “Belly Full”  

Away From the World // Bama Rags Recordings, LLC // 2012

“Jack and Jill went up the hill / To fetch a pail of water / Jack fell down and broke his crown / ‘Cause he was messing with the preacher’s daughter.” Oh, snap! “Belly Belly Nice” commences with a funky horn riff and a rhythmic groove courtesy of funky guitars.  Dave Matthews executes his vocals playfully.  The lyrics are also entertaining. “You can’t get too much love / Don’t you feel it in your belly?” he sings in the second chorus, adding, “Oh, the time is right for loving / So come on, come o / Can you feel it in your belly, come on?” Ooh-wee! Also, “You can’t get too much love / Going to eat your belly jelly.” The horn orchestration stands out with Boyd Tinsley and Jeff Coffin delivering compelling solos. Another selling point of the second track from Away From the World? The intense rhythmic run at the end. 

“Belly Belly Nice” isn’t the only belly song released by Dave Matthews Band. Later, the brief “Belly Full” appears. “Oh, my love / Make your belly full / And all your dreams / To come through,” Matthews concludes. Before that thoughtful close, Matthews sings sweet lyrics as, “Spread yourself across my lips / And I spoon you in / The sweetest thing in all the world.” Aww 🥰! The belly is filled on Away From the World, that’s for sure!

11. Tamino, “Tummy” 

Amir // Arts & Crafts Productions Inc. // 2019 

“I’m no longer found / Bugs got all my yummy / Passed out in the yard / Spiders on my tummy.” Spiders, Tamino? “Tummy” is the third track from the Belgian singer’s 2019 album, Amir.  He penned the song.  Pieterjan Maertens and Jo Francken produced it.  Tamino sings beautifully and expressively.  The melodies are tuneful in all sections – verses, pre-chorus, and chorus.  Notably, Tamino only mentions his tummy once, in the first verse. His belly isn’t the main attraction.  He likely has a nice tummy, but that’s not the point.  Tamino, or his character, minimally, has made life changes and is living true to self.  Overindulgence in substances is done! Empty sex is done! The lies to himself are done! A special somebody appears to have changed him for the better, evidenced by the chorus:  

“Once we were lost 

Like we almost  

Like we almost were in love 

Can’t you help it, thinking of me?  

Think you love me 

It’s like you must, like you almost, like you almost 

Have a lust 

For making something of me, something of me.”

12. Jimi Hendrix, “Belly Button Window”  

The Cry of Love // Experience Hendrix L.L.C. / Sony Music Entertainment // 1971 

“Well, I’m up here in this womb and I’m looking all around,” the late, great Jimi Hendrix sings on “Belly Button Window”, adding, “Well, I’m lookin’ out my belly button window / And I see a whole lot of frowns / And I’m wonderin’ if they don’t want me around.” That’s deep! Hendrix penned the 10th and final track on his 1971 posthumous LP, The Cry of Love.  He produced it alongside Mitch Mitchell and Eddie Kramer. This bluesy cut is accompanied by guitar.  That is fitting given the skills of Hendrix. Between the lyrics, Jimi spoils us with stellar guitar riffs.   

Revisiting the depth lyrically, Hendrix addresses his existence related to his parents. Is he wanted? Hendrix experienced a rough childhood which is implied in “Belly Button Window.” Speaking from the womb, he asserts, “‘Cause you know if you just don’t want me this time around / Yeah, I’ll be glad to go back to spirit land.” In the first verse, he recollects, “Man, I sure remember the last time, baby / They were still arguin’ about me then.” In the second verse, he addresses both parents. “So, I’m comin’ down into this world, daddy / Regardless of love and hate,” he sings, continuing, “And I’m gonna sit up in your bed, mama, huh / And just a-grin right in your face.” “Belly Button Window” is thought-provoking. It isn’t the biggest Jimi Hendrix song, but it marks another grand addition to his catalog, even as a posthumous arrival. Hendrix earns high marks thanks to his guitar playing, captivating lyrics, and expressive vocals.

13. Bob Marley & The Wailers, “Them Belly Full (But We Hungry)” 

Natty Dread // Universal Music // 1974

“Them belly full, but we hungry / A hungry mob is a angry mob.” The late, great reggae icon Bob Marley nails it in “Them Belly Full (But We Hungry)”. If you are hungry, lacking the nourishment, needs, and sustenance in life, you’ll be angry and do drastic things. Let the uprising begin! Bob Marley & The Wailers are renowned for the socially conscious elements of their music. “Them Belly Full (But We Hungry),” which appears as the third track from their 1974 album, Natty Dread, is a prime example of social consciousness in full effect.  Early on, in this minor-key, reggae gem, the connotation is negative, with the poor getting the short end of the stick.  But, believe it or not, Marley doesn’t dwell in the negative. There is positive to be experienced!

“You’re going to dance to Jah music, dance / We’re going to dance to Jah music, dance.” Who is Jah? Jah in the Rastafari religion is God.  Bob Marley & The Wailers move beyond wallowing in their hunger and insufficient needs and embracing spirituality.  “Forget your troubles and dance / Forget your sorrows and dance,” Marley sings, continuing, “Forget your sickness and dance / Forget your weakness and dance.” Easier said than done, right? Right, particularly if you are a person with weak faith.  Ultimately, with Jah, despite adverse conditions, the poor folks are stronger.  Think about it, and the idea isn’t far-fetched from Christianity as well as other religions. Even though “A pot-a-cook, but the food na nuff,” the “dance to Jah music” is happening on the fabulous reggae classic, “Them Belly Full (But We Hungry)”.
