Club Can't Handle Me is a song written by Flo Rida and covered by Tally Hall. It released on July 15, 2011 via AbsolutePunk.net and a YouTube video was later posted on July 18, 2011.[1] Casey Shea sings a significant portion of the song, including the chorus. The cover includes an alternate breakdown verse in which Rob Cantor raps.

MTV reported on the song in 2011, saying that "The cover blends synthetic beats with live instrumentation to achieve that rare feat for a cover song: retaining the original's memorable elements while supplementing their own unique sonic touches."[2]

Website "Cover Me" also reported on the cover, saying that " Tally Hall’s version captures the party spirit of the song while sticking to the band’s pop rock style."[3] and Becca Gleason of Nerdist.com praised the cover highly, saying that: "This cover of “Club Can’t Handle Me” transformed something I hate into something I love"[4]

In episode 2 of Andrew Horowitz's interview web-series Keep Up The Good Work with guest Casey Shea, they discuss that it was one of the first songs Andrew produced, and that the song was originally made to impress Atlantic Records and that they planned to release a series of cover songs by bands and artists signed to Atlantic Records, as an attempt at cross-promotion. However, the label had little to no interest in the idea.[5]

Trivia

Casey mentioned that they recorded upward to 400 vocal tracks for the cover[5]


Lyrics

You know I know how
To make 'em stop and stare as I zone out
The club can't even handle me right now
Watchin' you watchin' me I go all out
The club can't even handle me right now

(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-oo-oo)

The club can't even handle me right now

(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-oo-oo..)

I own the light and I don't need no help
Gotta be the feeling that's caught this place
Son your body can't handle this plan
Life of the club arrogant like yeah
Top like money all the girls just melt
Want to many all know me like twelve
Look like cash and they all just stare
Bottles, models, standin' on chairs
Fall out 'coz that's the business
All out it's so ridiculous
Zone out so much attention
Scream out I'm in the building
They watchin'
I know this
I'm rockin'
I'm rolling
I'm holding
I know it
You know it

You know I know how
To make 'em stop and stare as I zone out
The club can't even handle me right now
Watchin' you watchin' me I go all out
The club can't even handle me right now

(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh) (Now put your hands up)
(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh) (Put your hands up)
(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-oo-oo) (Put your hands up)

The club can't even handle me right now (Put your hands up okay)

(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh) (Now put your hands up)
(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh) (Put your hands up)
(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-oo-oo) (Put your hands up..)

Whoops!
Didn't mean to zone out
But I'm home now
In the club at the show now
Puttin' out the alternate version
Radio waves all pirate this version
Psychic!
When I step to the mic
Showed it to Flo but he didn't like it
Ooh, hurts the pride, but we tried it
Maybe it's the song,
We didn't write it
Clap your hands,
It don't matter if you're not Flo Rida fans
If it has a good beat and it makes you dance then
Can't you take a chance man! (man)
Never got a Grammy
But I gotta grandma and she thinks I'm special
And I got them dreams, sir
Seems to me we need something to reach for

You know I know how
To make 'em stop and stare as I zone out
The club can't even handle me right now
Watchin' you watchin' me I go all out
The club can't even handle me right now

(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-oo-oo)

The club can't even handle me right now

Yeah! (ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
Yeah! (ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah (ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-oo-oo)

You got me watchin' now
Got my attention now
Got everybody in the club wanting to know now
I am a ladies man
Come be my lady and
We can ball, so, ahh
Bring ya body here let me switch up your atmosphere
I'll take you out of the club and in my new lim'
Fly you all around the world
What you want baby girl
Are you ready to go, now

You know I know how
To make 'em stop and stare as I zone out
The club can't even handle me right now
Watchin' you watchin' me I go all out
The club can't even handle me right now

(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh) (To make 'em stop and stare as I zone out)
(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-oo-oo)

The club can't even handle me right now!

(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-ooh) (Watchin' you watchin' me I go all out)
(ooh-oo ooh-ooh ooh-oo-oo)

The club can't even handle me right now
