The Hawk Tuah Girl Made Headlines Once More After Misinterpreting the Lyrics of Jay-z’s ’empire State of Mind’

The “Hawk Tuah” girl went viral earlier this summer thanks to a video that went viral, and her following remarks regarding the lyrics of a Jay-Z song on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast have also gone viral.

In case anyone on Earth missed the Hawk Tuah girl’s sudden ascent to popularity, let us provide a recap.

When Haliey Welch, a young woman, went to Nashville’s CMA Fest back in June, she met content creators by chance and responded to a “man on the street” interview question.

Haliey gained notoriety as “the Hawk Tuah girl” when her spontaneous response went viral on social media:

“When Tim and Dee TV, content creators, posted a social media video on June 11, asking Hailey Welch, ‘What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?’ her entire world changed.”

She replied, “You need to give it that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on it, you know what I mean?”

“After the footage was released, millions became captivated by her.”

Overnight, Haliey became well-known throughout the world, and in late July, she appeared on Bill Maher’s podcast. While there, she unintentionally created another viral video.

The Lyrics of ’empire State of Mind’ as Interpreted by the Hawk Tuah Girl

Bill Maher featured Haliey Welch in an episode of his podcast Club Random, which he posted to YouTube on July 28.

Bill and Haliey talked on a variety of subjects throughout the more than hour-long show, including reality TV stars like the Kardashians, to whom Maher likened Welch.

Additionally, Maher compared Welch’s sudden renown to “the Beatles sweeping America” in the 1960s.

Bill shared a now-viral video clip of himself and Haliey talking about hip-hop music on X on July 30.

The identical section of the interview was then posted on Facebook by Young Verse on August 8. In less than a day, that post had over 13 million views.

The video had a text message that said, “Now I can’t unhear it,” and it showed Maher and Welch talking about his love of hip-hop and her passion for Taylor Swift.

When Haliey mentions that she like “old rap,” Bill replies that he thinks Tupac Shakur and Jay-Z are examples of “old rap.”

Haliey acknowledges that she doesn’t listen to either artist, but she does enjoy a Jay-Z song “about New York,” alluding to their joint effort, “Empire State of Mind”.

An objectively amusing chat about misheard lyrics ensued:

[Haliey Welch]: “I am aware of both Jay-Z and Tupac. Simply put, I don’t listen to them that way. There it is, the single that features Jay-Z.

“He said something like, ‘concrete jungle wet dream tomato,’ referring to New York.”

[Bill Maher]: “Uh, wet dream tomato?”

[Haliey Welch]: “It sounds like it, and that’s how I know it, but that’s not really what [“Empire State Of Mind”] says.”

The music the Hawk Tuah girl mentioned and the term “mondegreen” associated with it would be instantly recognizable to anyone who has read Jay-Z’s “Empire State Of Mind” lyrics.

A “mondegreen” is a phrase that is mispronounced and frequently repeated incorrectly; it frequently results from spoken or sung words.

The well-known instance of Jimi Hendrix’s “pardon me, while I kiss the sky” being misinterpreted as “pardon me, while I kiss this guy” is well-known. Maher also brought up Credence as another example. Many people mishear the lyrics of Clearwater Revival’s song “Bad Moon on the Rise” as “There’s a bathroom on the right.”

The term “mondegreen” was coined to honor a mondegreen, as an author mistook the phrase “laid him on the green” for “Lady Mondegreen.”

The words to “Empire State Of Mind” were actually pretty near to the Hawk Tuah girl’s mondegreen in this instance. While it’s difficult to “unhear,” the line “concrete jungle where dreams are made of” actually sounds like “concrete jungle wet dream tomato.”
