Synopsis

Black Sheep perform "Similak Child" in and around a weathered rural farm setting, using the contrast between the duo's relaxed, streetwise delivery and the deliberately rustic surroundings as the video's central visual idea. Women dance near the barn while farmers, livestock, fields, and other country imagery appear in cutaway shots. The clip alternates between performance footage and observational farm scenes, giving the 1992 single a playful, offbeat presentation that matches the song's humorous, conversational tone.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video uses the "Homogenized Remix" rather than the album version of "Similak Child." The remix has a noticeably different beat and was also issued on the song's 12-inch single.
  • "Similak Child" appeared on Black Sheep's debut album, "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," released on October 22, 1991. The single followed in 1992.
  • The song's production reflects the duo's sample-heavy approach. The album version incorporates elements associated with Jefferson Airplane's "Today" and Minnie Riperton's "Les Fleurs."
  • "Similak Child" was the fourth single released from "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," following "Flavor of the Month," "The Choice Is Yours," and "Strobelite Honey."
  • The track reached No. 44 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.

Lyrics

Verse One: Dres
I skipped the line, I paid my dime
I hung my coat, and now it's time
To move to the forefront take my rounds
Say peace and give a pound have a drink, get down
I'm on the floor, besides the door
The sound is rich, and I ain't poor
I'm looking for Susie or Wendy or Judy
But look at her [repeat 3X] "Who me?"
Yes, you sweetie, although it's hard to see thee
I see your silhouette and what I see has got me needy
I need you for a second of your time
But then I reckon that a second is too short let me try
