The name comes from Minnie Riperton. The chorus, the horn stabs fall on the backbeat, and that was lifted from a Minnie Ripperton song ‘Les Fleurs’, which is Derek’s favorite Ripperton song.
Minnie Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Gossip on heavy today
Put the crash on the kick and you call it
Led by the violent days
Show me what it takes or get out of
It's written all over your face
Putting panic in their eyes like a devil
Sleeping on a nameless grave
You can't be proud if you're gonna lay down
[Bridge]
Minnie, Minnie, go count your pennies
I'm sorry to say you don't have many
Minnie, Minnie, go count your pennies
I'm sorry to say you don't have any
[Hook]
Gunslinger, undertaker
Heartbreaker, eraser
Minnie! Ripper!
Minnie! Ripper!
Gunslinger, undertaker
Heartbreaker, eraser
Minnie! Ripper!
Minnie! Ripper!
[Verse 2]
Schoolgirls crying in the rain
Cause they're sitting by the window pane (in pain)
Tired of the violent grace
Strike fear in their hearts like a devil
And if it comes to this, well then it comes to this
Maybe you can be a big
You and me could be the dream team
Maybe you can be a big
[Bridge]
Minnie, Minnie, go count your pennies
I'm sorry to say you don't have many
Minnie, Minnie, go count your pennies
I'm sorry to say you don't have any
[Hook]
Gunslinger, undertaker
Heartbreaker, eraser
Minnie! Ripper!
Minnie! Ripper!
Gunslinger, undertaker
Heartbreaker, eraser
Minnie! Ripper!
Minnie! Ripper!
[Outro]
Minnie! Ripper!
Minnie! Ripper!
Minnie! Ripper!
Minnie! Ripper!

DM: The name comes from Minnie Ripperton. The chorus, the horn stabs fall on the backbeat, and that was lifted from a Minnie Ripperton song ‘Les Fleurs’. That’s my favorite Minnie Ripperton song. I get a kick of doing stuff like that. And then it turned into its own thing.
