In the 52nd edition of Bangerz N Bopz 🔥 (2024), we break down “Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa)” performed by Jagwar Twin.

“Animals, animals, all misunderstandable / Carnivores and cannibals, I want it on demand-able.” Say what, now?! “Mandible, jaw split, hit me with the gossip, gossip / (Are you fucking serious?).” My thoughts, exactly! Jagwar Twin (Roy English) delivered a brief but hella entertaining single with “Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa).” Yes, it’s the “Oompa Loompa” part that raises eyebrows.  That’s right, English sampled “Oompa Loompa” (written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley) from the beloved, 1971 children’s film, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.  He even made an entertaining TikTok about ‘the perfect song for your new Wonka movie’.

“Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa)” features slick production by English and Ryan Daly.  The palette of sounds is sweet – the groove, whistles, and colorful synths are giving! The melodies are fast paced in the verses.  Jagwar Twin brings more aggressive, dynamic vocals in the pre-chorus, singing, “(They say) Everything’s perfect here / And the sun is shining / (Hey, hay) Everything’s perfect here / There’s nobody crying.” The crème de la crème – the crowning achievement – is the chorus:

“Oompa Loompa, doompa-de-doo

I got a bad feeling ‘bout you

Oompa Loompa, I don’t know, dude

I got a bad feeling ‘bout you

Bad feeling, bad feeling

I got a bad feeling ‘bout you

Bad feeling, bad feeling

I got a bad feeling ’bout you.”

Ultimately, “Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa)” is nothing short of a treat.  This cut, non-affiliated with Wonka, is a gift!
