I don't own any rights for the song.

"Kool Thing" is a song by Sonic Youth, released as the first single from their sixth studio album "Goo" (1990). The song was inspired by an interview bassist/singer Kim Gordon conducted with LL Cool J. Although he is never mentioned by name, the song's lyrics contain several references to LL Cool J.

Gordon's lyrics make reference to several of the rapper's works, including the single "I Can't Live Without My Radio" and the album "Walking with a Panther". She also repeats the line "I don't think so", which appears in LL Cool J's "Going Back to Cali". Chuck D also contributed spoken vocals to the song.

Lyrics:

Kool Thing sittin' with a kitty
Now you know you're sure lookin' pretty
Like a lover not a dancer
Superboy take a little chance here

I don't want to, I don't think so
I don't want to, I don't think so

Kool Thing let me play it with your radio
Move me, turn me on, baby-o
I'll be your slave
Give you a shave

I don't want to, I don't think so
I don't want to, I don't think so

Yeah, tell'em about it
Hit'em where it hurts

Hey, Kool Thing, come here, sit down beside me
There's something I go to ask you
I just want to know, what are you gonna do for me?
I mean, are you gonna liberate us girls
From male white corporate oppression?

Tell it like it is!
Huh?
Yeah!
Don't be shy
Word up!
Fear of a female planet?
Fear of a female planet?
Fear, baby!
I just want you to know that we can still be friends
Let everybody know
Kool Kool Thing, Kool Kool Thing
When you're a star, I know that you'll fix everything

Kool Thing sittin' with a kitty
Now you know you're sure lookin' pretty
Rock the beat just a little faster
Now I know you are the master

I don't want to, I don't think so
I don't want to, I don't think so

Kool Thing walkin' like a panther
Come on and give me an answer
Kool Thing walkin' like a panther
What'd he say?

I don't want to, I don't think so
I don't want to, I don't think so
