Let me know if this is already a thread, but I couldn’t find one.
What are some songs that mention yoyos or string that you know of? I often used to perform to Frank Sinatra’s “World on a String”
Any you can think of?

Project Pat - Good Googly Moogly
Refraining from linking since it’s fairly explicit. This is the only song I can think of and for a really strange reason. While watching me throw, one of my friends somehow made the mental link of hearing about a yoyo in a song they listened to in high school. After a bit of searching online he found out it was this song. It’s kind of funny how basic things can dredge up old, forgotten memories of past media consumed sometimes.

Pretty soon now
You know I’m gonna make a comeback
And like the birds and the bees in the trees
It’s a sure-fire smash
I’ll speak
To the masses throughout the media
And if you got anything to say to me
You can say it with cash
'Cause I got the trash and you got the cash
So baby we should get along fine
So give me all your money 'cause I know you think I’m funny
Can’t you hear me laughing, can’t you see me smile
I’m the man
I’m the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I’m the man
I’m the man that gave you the yo-yo
Kung Fu
That was one of my good ones
Well what’s a few broken bones
When we all know it’s good clean fun
Skateboards
I’ve almost made them respectable
You see I can’t always get through to you
So I go for your son
I had a giant rubber shark and it really made a mark
Didja looka looka look it Alla blood
Give me all your money 'cause I know you think I’m funny
Can’t you hear me laughing, can’t you see me smile
I’m the man
I’m the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I’m the man
I’m the man that gave you the yo-yo
Right now
I think I’m gonna plan a new trend
Because the line on the graph’s getting low
And we can’t have that
And you think you’re immune
But I can sell you anything
Anything from a thin safety pin
To a pork pie hat
'Cause I got the trash and you got the cash
So baby we should get along fine
Why don’t you give me all your money 'cause I know you think I’m funny
Can’t you hear me laughing, can’t you see me smile
I’m the man
I’m the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I’m the man
I’m the man that gave you the yo-yo
I’m the man
I’m the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I’m the man
I’m the man that gave you the yo-yo
I’m the man
I’m the man
I’m the man

Clipse - We got it for cheap (intro)
Puppets on the string like a yo-yo/Bouncing like a pogo, they praying I never go solo
(And he did go solo) Pretty sure Pusha has used yoyo metaphors more than once.

I listened to so much Project Pat growing up in west Tennessee it’s not even funny and I never caught onto the lyric in question. And yes, it’s definitely an explicit song but the lyric in question for anyone wondering is “Make me go-go, up and down like a yo-yo.”
Thank you mable, made my morning.

**You Can’t Play With My Yo-Yo**
[Hook: Ice Cube & _Yo-Yo_]
You can’t play with my Yo-Yo!

Ok. Yoyo is a person but I didnt know that growing up 🙂
# Passenger | Sword From The Stone
‘Cos I’m fine and then I’m not
I’m spinning ‘round and I can’t stop
I can’t do this alone
For time flies then it’s so slow
I’m up and down like a yoyo
I can’t do it on my own
And I’ve tried and I can’t pull the sword from the stone

I met him in a swamp down in Dagoba
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda
S-O-D-A, soda
I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said “yoda”
Y-O-D-A, Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
And so on…
Lola, by the Kinks just in case you don’t know where Weird Al’s came from.
