South African hip-hop/rave group Die Antwoord performs "I Fink U Freeky" (Track #2 from their second studio album Ten$Ion) on the Late Show with David Letterman, Monday, February 6, 2012. In subsequent shows, Dave frequently makes joking reference to the phrase "I think you freaky and I like you a lot." The show aired the day after the Super Bowl, and Dave's first guest was NY Giants QB Eli Manning. That's why Yolandi is wearing eye black on her face in this performance, adding to the unique troll doll look already created by the big eye contact lenses. See the official music video for the uncensored lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Uee_mcxvrw According to the closed captioning, Ninja substituted the word "Tokoloshe" for the original "motherf***er" lyric. From Wikipedia: In Zulu mythology, Tikoloshe, Tokoloshe or Hili (from the Xhosa word utyreeci ukujamaal) is a dwarf-like water sprite. It is considered a mischievous and evil spirit that can become invisible by swallowing a pebble. Tokoloshes are called upon by malevolent people to cause trouble for others. At its least harmful a tokoloshe can be used to scare children, but its power extends to causing illness and even death upon the victim. The way to get rid of him is to call in the n'anga (witch doctor), who has the power to banish him from the area. http://www.dieantwoord.com/ http://www.cbs.com/late_night/late_show/ To see the full text of the lyrics (including translations of the Afrikaans words), go to: http://www.dieantwoord.com/tension.html#lyrix Hover over the red portions of the lyrics on their web site to see the English translations.

The third and fourth sections were unchanged.
