Another club banger in 2012 was “Oliver Twist” performed by Nigerian bangalee, D’Banj.
“Oliver Twist” is a song by Nigerian singer-songwriter D’banj. The track was first released in the United Kingdom on 11 May 2012, as the first single from DB Records’ compilation album, D’Kings Men (2013).
For the chart week dated 26 May, “Oliver Twist” debuted at number nine on the UK Singles Chart—marking the musician’s first chart appearance and first Nigerian song to ever debut on the chart.
Lyrically, the song expresses D’banj’s crave for more women, relating to how the fictional character Oliver Twist asked for more gruel.
A music video, directed by Sesan Ogunro, to accompany the release of “Oliver Twist” was first released onto YouTube on 19 March 2012. The video itself runs for a total of three minutes and fifty-five seconds and sees the artist, D’banj, performing the track in an empty studio designed as a run down home. It is performed in the key of G# Minor throughout
A member of D’banj’s live set (David Vujanic) makes an appearance dressed as Oliver Twist, whilst the CEO Dancers (three female dancers) perform to the track. In August 2013, the music video surpassed 21.5 million views making it the Nigerian song with highest number of views on YouTube at the time. As of April 2023, it has more than 63 million views.
The video features cameos from D’banj’s GOOD Music label mates Big Sean, Pusha T, GOOD Music producer Hit-Boy and the label’s founder Kanye West; whilst Mike Dean, Bricka Bricka, Eddie Kadi, Sneakbo and Keisha Buchanan of MKS fame also make cameos.
Quotable Lyrics:
I have a confession, don’t take it personal
I have a confession, so you got to listen
I have a confession, don’t take it personal
I have a confession, so you got to listen
See I like Beyonce, but she dey with Jigga
I like Nicki, her yansh is bigger
I like Rihanna, she dey make me dey go gaga
I like Omotola ’cause people like her
I like Genevieve, I think that she’s so sweet
And Nadia Buhari ’cause she no dey drink garri
It’s not her fault you know
You cannot blame me though
I wanna have them all
I know it’s wrong but the truth is that
I am just an Oliver
You’re just an Oliver
Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist
I’m just an Oliver
Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist
Rebete, rebete rebete
Labata, labata labata
Sebede, sebede sebede
Rebete, rebete rebete
