Ba-dee-ya Tee
Ba-dee-ya — The go-to phrase used by Maurice White of Earth Wind and Fire in every song he wrote that needed a filler phrase. The most popular use of this phrase was in the song September where he sings: “'Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember / Ba-dee-ya, dancing in September…” The co-writer of the song September, Allee Willis, asked: “'We are going to change 'ba-dee-ya' to real words, right?' " But, this never happened. In the final vocal session Allee Willis got desperate and begged Maurice White to rewrite that part of the song. Finally when it was so obvious that he was not going to do it, she yelled: “'What the fuck does 'ba-dee-ya' mean?' And, White said: “Who the fuck cares?'" She said of that moment: “I learned my greatest lesson ever in songwriting from him: never let the lyric get in the way of the groove” The rest is 21st of September history. As a result of taking that lesson to heart, Allee Willis went on to write: Earth, Wind & Fire’s “Boogie Wonderland,” the Pointer Sisters’ “Neutron Dance,” Pet Shop Boys with Dusty Springfield’s “What Have I Done to Deserve This” and The Rembrandts’ “I’ll Be There for You (Theme from Friends).” She has collaborated with: Bob Dylan, James Brown, Patti LaBelle, Deniece Williams, Herbie Hancock, Lamont Dozier; and, co-authored the Broadway musical The Color Purple. She is also the first woman--and fifth person ever--to have written music for two shows opening on Broadway in the same season. Ba-dee-ya!

Feels great love the shitt
Great shirt. Great service. Shopify doesn’t track the shipment accurately though. However, when I reached out to Urban Dictionary customer service, they were able to help me.
Wore it to school.
Love this shirt so much
I love this t-shirt that says morbussy. It allows me to show off both my love for Morbius and the fact that I get no Morbussy.
This shirt feels great, perfect fit too.
Great looking t-shirt. Good quality. Printing looks good.
Cool I didn’t order anything I just have a lot of free time and not a lot of hobbies
Fun and soft.
Good stuff! Although, I do have a sneaking suspicion that this is cursed. You see, whenever i dawn this top-teir, soft, stylish shirt - I proceed to pass out within 46 seconds. The mere act of making contact with the material insues the process of this countdown starting. If I do not quit contact, i will lose conciousness the exact moment the countown hits 0. And when I regain clarity, I find myself in a bathtub - never mine, but a bathtub nevertheless. In the bathtub, there is always various colours of hairdye. I then have to go back home, shirt stained with dye. Very fashionable though! 10/10
Smooth transaction and nice product, shipping was quick!

Size was accurate, and printed text was as displayed online. Doesn't hurt that the material is pretty soft either.
