Review

It is an interesting stuff – this song is called 'Shiny' and it is performed by Jemaine Clement, while there is a song in the soundtrack named ‘Bling-Bling’ and it is performed by a person named 'Shiny'. Interesting equivoque paronomasia.
A pop folk song continues a slightly over 3 minutes. And despite being performed by a person whose name sounds really French, it is sung completely in solid English.
The lyrics of the song completely recreate the French lyrics of the song ‘Bling-Bling’, probably to captivate the bilingual auditorium of the film or to stress out the idea even further. Reference: Moana Shiny Song: See Jemaine Clement's Musical Number - /Film

Shiny Song Lyrics

Well, Tamatoa hasn't always been this glam

I was a drab little crab once

Now I know I can be happy as a clam

Because I'm beautiful, baby

Did your granny say listen to your heart

Be who you are on the inside

I need three words to tear her argument apart

Your granny lied!

I'd rather be...

Shiny

Like a treasure from a sunken pirate wreck

Scrub the deck and make it look...

Shiny

I will sparkle like a wealthy woman's neck

Just a sec!

Don't you know

Fish are dumb, dumb, dumb

They chase anything that glitters (beginners!)

Oh, and here they come, come, come

To the brightest thing that glitters

Mmm, fish dinners

I just love free food

And you look like seafood

(Like seafood)

Well, well, well

Little Maui's having trouble with his look

You little semi-demi-mini-god

Ouch! What a terrible performance

Get the hook (get it?)

You don't swing it like you used to, man

Yet I have to give you credit for my start

And your tattoos on the outside

For just like you I made myself a work of art

I'll never hide; I can't, I'm too...

Shiny

Watch me dazzle like a diamond in the rough

Strut my stuff; my stuff is so...

Shiny

Send your armies but they'll never be enough

My shell's too tough

Maui man, you could try, try, try

But you can't expect a demi-god

To beat a decapod (give it up)

You will die, die, die

Now it's time for me to take apart

Your aching heart

Far from the ones who abandoned you

Chasing the love of these humans

Who made you feel wanted

You tried to be tough

But your armour's just not hard enough

Maui

Now it's time to kick your...

Hiney

Ever seen someone so...

Shiny

Soak it in 'cause it's the last you'll ever see

C'est la vie mon ami

I'm so...

Shiny

Now I'll eat you, so prepare your final plea

Just for me

You'll never be quite as...

Shiny

You wish you were nice and...

Shiny
