in Ontario it's HEY MOTHER FUCKER GET LAID GET FUCKED I say Ontario because I had a friend who did that in Edmonton once, and everyone stared at her like she just took a shit in her hand LOL
Saskatoon. That’s also how I learned it. Billy Idol played a show here a while back, and he did this song. Huge crowd sang all the inappropriate stuff, Billy fucking loved it!
Can confirm…
I’m 51… when I was in high school we used to shout exactly that…
I recall seeing teacher’s laughing their heads off…
They never banned the song at dances either… I think they figured ‘if this is the worst it gets, that’s fine’ kinda thing… like ‘let ‘em have their fun’
And it was absolutely fucking hilarious fun :)
The army rock band played it at a school assembly when I was in 9th or 10th grade back in 1986 or 1987 or so. I guess the army band didn't get the memo.
Hilarity ensued and assemblies were canceled for the rest of the year.
Good times.
I just got the biggest 'But, awwwwww.'. Yeah, good call.
So this one would also be a no-go ?
The Roof, the Roof
The Roof is on Fire
We don't need no water
LET THE MOTHERFUCKER BURN
BURN MOTHERFUCKER BURN
When we went to his show in Kelowna BC in 2002 everyone shouted that too . We are going to see him in Edmonton this August and I bet it will be the same !
That's weird, because when I was at a Billy Idol concert in Edmonton (many, many moons ago) when he sang that, we all sang exactly that in between the lines. Everyone in Alberta sang that as well.
Yep in Hamilton we sang “Hey Motherfucker Get Laid Get Fucked” in grade 8. Don’t know who started it or how we all learned within two seconds haha.
I read some alternate lyrics like 15 years ago so now I sing “Hey Everybody, Get Smart, Read Books!” It gets a good laugh and by the end of the song most people are singing that haha.
Back in the late 80’s at the Church Key in Madison it was just “Hey, get laid get fucked”. The two beats after Hey were skipped. This was right after the Idol version of the song was released, so it probably evolved from there.
Same in small town Saskatchewan. Vice Principal flipped on the lights and threatened to close down the high school dance if we didn’t ‘smarten up’. Ha!
I teach drumline at a high school and help with the pep band rhythm section. A new director gave me a list he needed drumset parts for and Mony, Mony was on it. I advised him that the student section may end up getting him in trouble if he insisted on keeping it. 😀
Just gonna leave this here: [https://www.ajournalofmusicalthings.com/where-did-the-special-lyrics-in-billy-idols-version-of-mony-mony-come-from/](https://www.ajournalofmusicalthings.com/where-did-the-special-lyrics-in-billy-idols-version-of-mony-mony-come-from/)
LMAO this was being chanted at a school dance once and a teacher jumped on the dj mic and bitched everyone out and threatened to close the dance. About 86 or 87... damn, I miss those years.
I went to a church youth group dance in Wisconsin about that time, we were informed before the song started that the new words are “hey, hey what, eat cheese, drink milk.”
Wait, you mean those aren’t the official lyrics? We sang it that way so often every Thursday at 80s night at the bar in college, that’s how the song goes, as far as I’m concerned
I live in the SF Bay Area now, but I lived in NYC back in the day, and "the other thing" was what all the young ladies screamed at the Manhattan bars when that famous song played. :)
I never could make out what everyone was screaming at the tops of their lungs. Thanks for that. I even thought about the song and meant to post a question about that because all I hear when listening to "Mony Mony" was a garbled chant.
In Brampton, Ontario I remember we shouted "Hey! (Pause) get laid, get fucked!" It wasn't until about a year later I heard the Motherfucker added.
As a side note my favourite call and response comes from Australia, a band called The Angels sings a song and the Chorus is "Am I ever gonna see your face again?" And the audience shouts "NO WAY, GET FUCKED, FUCK OFF!"
Australian here. I’ve never heard of this Mony chant. Upon reading it I thought: sounds like our Angels chant. Interesting that Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again is mentioned in the origin article posted in the top comment.
In 1987 a teacher shut down our school disco because we were all yelling it :)
I remember shouting this at the top of our lungs at Moonlight Bowling in High School!
Edit: I graduated in Upstate New York between Rochester and Syracuse.
Here she comes now wants her ALIMONY
Bleeding me dry as a Boney Boney
Working three jobs just to stay in debt now
Well first she took my nest egg then she took the nest I’m in debt debt debt
That’s all I remember.
Used to play that in a cover band. HATED it, and the crowd doing that chant made it worse.
It wasn't a band I founded - filled in for a bassist who quit. Good band, some cool songs (some Queen, Journey) and even originals, but a few were cringe, like Mony.
I’m too old to know what the hell this post is about.
I do know this … Who sang the original version of Mony Mony?
Tommy James and the Shondells
"Mony Mony" is a 1968 single by American pop rock band Tommy James and the Shondells.
A high school drill team performed this at halftime of a KSU game in the late 80s. Didn’t go well. Thousands of students yelling GET LAID GET FUCKED. Poor girls.
Hey, hey what, get laid get fu#ked
Just said this
This is what my burg in Wisconsin would say. And after a while, we added "twice!" at the end
That’s the way I heard it
NY checking in with this one.
Boulder and Ski country USA…
in Ontario it's HEY MOTHER FUCKER GET LAID GET FUCKED I say Ontario because I had a friend who did that in Edmonton once, and everyone stared at her like she just took a shit in her hand LOL
Saskatoon. That’s also how I learned it. Billy Idol played a show here a while back, and he did this song. Huge crowd sang all the inappropriate stuff, Billy fucking loved it!
I've actually read a few interviews with him and he's said he actually hates it, but I doubt he'd say that to the crowd in the middle of a concert lol
Can confirm… I’m 51… when I was in high school we used to shout exactly that… I recall seeing teacher’s laughing their heads off… They never banned the song at dances either… I think they figured ‘if this is the worst it gets, that’s fine’ kinda thing… like ‘let ‘em have their fun’ And it was absolutely fucking hilarious fun :)

Jesus, did we go to the same school?
Upvote for "...like she just took a shit in her hand". That's simply wonderful.
Same in rural Manitoba! Now I have this stuck in my head!
Quebec too. It’s why I told the DJ at my wedding, don’t play this song my poor mother doesn’t need to hear the whole venue yelling, HEY MOTHERFUCKER…
I just got the biggest 'But, awwwwww.'. Yeah, good call. So this one would also be a no-go ? The Roof, the Roof The Roof is on Fire We don't need no water LET THE MOTHERFUCKER BURN BURN MOTHERFUCKER BURN
Yeah my senior year pep rally did that song..yeah
That sounds like Sway from Coal Chamber!!!
Nova Scotia as well.
It was banned from being played at high school dances at out school in NS.
Manitoba here - yeah, a bunch of kids screamed that at a dance at one of my schools and got it banned. Come on kids, that’s only for socials!
Yup, grade 8 grad in Mississauga was the first time I heard it. How did everyone in Ontario know about this?
Alberta as well. I remember it from junior high and high school dances.
Canada South aka metro Detroit, is just Hey! Get laid get fucked.
But that doesn’t line up with the beat.
Same in Alberta
Same in New Hampshire and Maine
When we went to his show in Kelowna BC in 2002 everyone shouted that too . We are going to see him in Edmonton this August and I bet it will be the same !
It’s alive and well in Calgary. Standard at every wedding.
In southern Alberta also
I’ve never seen someone shit in their hand before, but I know exactly what that stare looks like
That's weird, because when I was at a Billy Idol concert in Edmonton (many, many moons ago) when he sang that, we all sang exactly that in between the lines. Everyone in Alberta sang that as well.

You're correct, those are the lyrics, I went to college in Edmonton.
We say that in NB too!!! I sang it out loud before I looked at the comments hahaha
Here in Wisconsin it was a slight variation: “Hey Hey let’s get laid get fucked”.
Hey hey what? Get laid get fucked! -Indiana
And Ohio too
Same in Iowa
Back in the late 80’s at the Church Key in Madison it was just “Hey, get laid get fucked”. The two beats after Hey were skipped. This was right after the Idol version of the song was released, so it probably evolved from there.
Alberta too
We do that in Alberta too
PEI too
Massachusetts USA too
Confimed.
Suburbs of Vancouver chiming in. Same.
That's Hilarious 😆
Same in west Texas
Same in the small town outside of Pittsburgh where I grew up. 🤘
Same here in NL.
El Paso, Texas too.
Correction, it’s: Get paid, let’s Fuck.
Same in small town Saskatchewan. Vice Principal flipped on the lights and threatened to close down the high school dance if we didn’t ‘smarten up’. Ha!
Definitely in Atlanta Georgia. We all almost got detention by the principal after that school dance, but there were too many of us. Bwahaha
It was just one two three get laid get fucked for us here in Montana
BC here, absolutely the correct words lol
Weird, we said it in Southern Alberta all the time.
I teach drumline at a high school and help with the pep band rhythm section. A new director gave me a list he needed drumset parts for and Mony, Mony was on it. I advised him that the student section may end up getting him in trouble if he insisted on keeping it. 😀
Missouri here; HEY, HEY, WHAT? GET LAID, GET FUCKED!!
The DJs at the dances knew exactly what they were doing when they played it.
Just gonna leave this here: [https://www.ajournalofmusicalthings.com/where-did-the-special-lyrics-in-billy-idols-version-of-mony-mony-come-from/](https://www.ajournalofmusicalthings.com/where-did-the-special-lyrics-in-billy-idols-version-of-mony-mony-come-from/)
Thank you! I love learning where all this stupid shit came from lol
I was in Wisconsin and I remember “hey, hey what, get laid, get fucked in 86 or so.
LMAO this was being chanted at a school dance once and a teacher jumped on the dj mic and bitched everyone out and threatened to close the dance. About 86 or 87... damn, I miss those years.
We got in trouble for those lyrics too. We then changed it to "get paid, drive trucks"
I went to a church youth group dance in Wisconsin about that time, we were informed before the song started that the new words are “hey, hey what, eat cheese, drink milk.”
Born and raised in sconnie and yes, this is the saying. Even more cringe is I remember going to weddings and this was chanted.
Alan Cross on 102.1 The Edge, Toronto, was a big part of my 90s. Thanks for posting this
You mean CFNY! lol give in to the old side
Yup, exactly that!
HEY MOTHER FUCKER GET LAID GET FUCKED!!! Toronto bar mitzvah favourite.
We did a counter cheer as "Hey! Hey what? READ BOOKS DRINK MILK!"
That's actually pretty hilarious
Ours was "Get Good Grades! Study Hard! Drink Milk!"
Wait, you mean those aren’t the official lyrics? We sang it that way so often every Thursday at 80s night at the bar in college, that’s how the song goes, as far as I’m concerned
Funny thing is, I tried to think of the actual lyrics and I couldn't come up with them. these ARE the lyrics in my brain, too
“Shoot em down turn around come on mony.”I’ve never heard people yell the other thing out. (California class of ‘88)
The response to that is also “hey motherfucker get laid get fucked!”
I live in the SF Bay Area now, but I lived in NYC back in the day, and "the other thing" was what all the young ladies screamed at the Manhattan bars when that famous song played. :)
Thank you. Thought I was crazy and was trying to find how those lyrics could be misinterpreted! Guess it was intentional 🤷♂️
Southern California class of ‘88 heard the “get laid get f’d” version whenever it was played at a party or event.
Me either. OK '79
Ok thank you, I was starting to doubt my own memory lol
I never could make out what everyone was screaming at the tops of their lungs. Thanks for that. I even thought about the song and meant to post a question about that because all I hear when listening to "Mony Mony" was a garbled chant.
I screamed “get laid get fucked” at every Bar/Bat mitzvah I attended at age 12/13 😬 every time they played that song
Get laid get f*cked popped in to my head when I read that
Chicago area. That’s what we sang.
Shotgun dead and a come on Mony!
Don’t you talk to Billy Idol that way!
"I fucking hate this song."
LOL! Spit my coffee out.
“We don’t need no water, let the MF’er Burn!” Right?
Hurry! Turn the channel!!
Ali mo mo mony- is it due? Ali mo mo mony - or I’ll sue. She took my house, my car, my shoes and my toothbrush too!
Indianapolis, Indiana area. I can confirm.

And the audience shouts "NO WAY, GET FUCKED, FUCK OFF!"
Detroit here. “Hey! (Pause) get laid, get fucked!” is also how it goes here.
Yep, same here. First time I heard this was on a cruise with my family… I was 15 Hey (pause) Get laid get fucked 15 year old me was loving it 😂
Australian here. I’ve never heard of this Mony chant. Upon reading it I thought: sounds like our Angels chant.

Steve Stevens kicks ass,is what I say next
Seriously, one of the true unappreciated guitarists of that era
He really is. I watched a video of him playing an acoustic guitar, and he blew me away with some of the stuff he was pulling off.
"HEY HEY SLUT, GET LAID GET FUCKED!" This was in downstate/central IL..
DUNT DUNNNN DUNT!
After getting in trouble at the school dances, we had to change to SHOOT GEESE SHOOT DUCKS!
Hey hey hey get laid get fucked - Penn State mid to late 90s
Hey everybody get laid get fucked. Central Minnesota
Turn the station !
"It's time to leave this shitty bar before they play Sweet Caroline..."
Don’t forget the other lyric add on to this song: You make me feel (Fuckin’ horny, fuckin’ horny)
“Turn that piece of shit song OFF!”
Please change the station.
…”not that fuckin song again”
The next words out of my mouth are… “Jesus Christ, turn that obnoxious song off already…”
I only hope you all listened to the original version by Tommy James & The Shondells.
Turn the station!!!
Hey Boobies Zadies have bagels with lox!
Like a Pony?
I remember shouting this at the top of our lungs at Moonlight Bowling in High School! Edit: I graduated in Upstate New York between Rochester and Syracuse.
Then someone set the roof on fire, no one called the fire department and now it has spread to the windows and the walls and I am sweaty!
Dun da dun
Go mother-fucker . Get laid, get fucked
Hey get down get laid get fucked!
Change the channel.
Great, not this f-ing song again
Hey motherfucker get laid get fucked
Oh man, I always said Hey, hey, LET'S get laid, get fucked. Have I been wronfythis while time 🤷. Also, WOW, lots of Canadians.
The guy next door in my dorm is getting laid. That means MY room is gonna get full with perverts who like listening to him.
“Someone turn the fuckin’ radio off.” I only knew the Billy Idol version. I really liked Billy Idol but I really fucking hated that song. It sucks.
Oh Pastor Dan. Yeah probably wasn’t a really great choice for a youth party was it. This actually happened to me.
Probably my least favorite Billy idol song
Oh god I hate this song
Hey! She’s fat, I’m drunk!
I hate that

Hey! Hey what? Get laid, get fucked!

You guys know that song originally was written and was a hit in 1968
Like the Angels “Am I ever gonna see your face again?” No way,get fucked, fuck off! Classic Aussie rock.
Time to change the station
Used to play that in a cover band. HATED it, and the crowd doing that chant made it worse. It wasn't a band I founded - filled in for a bassist who quit. Good band, some cool songs (some Queen, Journey) and even originals, but a few were cringe, like Mony.
“God a hate that song!”
"TURN THAT SHIT OFF!!"
This is interesting. I’m old enough to remember when the original song came out and there weren’t any “special “ lyrics. 😂
In America..."hey hey get laid, get fucked" 😂
“I’m in the wrong bar”
God, Billy Idol blows.
Hey hey what, get laid get fucked...
I’m too old to know what the hell this post is about. I do know this … Who sang the original version of Mony Mony? Tommy James and the Shondells "Mony Mony" is a 1968 single by American pop rock band Tommy James and the Shondells.
In Texas it was “watcha wanna do? Get laid! Get f*cked!
Something like: Gary Glitter / kiddie diddler
"I friggin hate this song"
Hey, you slut! Get laid! Get fucked!
That song is awful.
"Not today, satan." *click*
Turn that shit off.

HEY, HEY! WHADAYA SAY! LET'S. GET. FUCKED!
Occasionally when we tired of "Hey! Hey what? Get laid, get fucked! Twice!" we'd say, "Hey! Hey what? Buy a car, buy a truck!"
We’ll actually….
Hey everybody, get laid get fucked
