Episode: “Blazing Paddles” (3x02) Music genre: Raï Singer(s): Jamia Simone Nash as Uniqua Lyrics Uniqua: I must be ready to face that bandit! I must be ready, my friends demand it! My focus must be sharp, my paddle must be steady, but most of all, I must be ready! Whack, whack, whack, goes my horse's tail! Smack, smack, smack, I will prevail! Whap, whap, whap, I'm almost set.....! Bap, bap, bap, I'm not ready yet! I'm not ready yet! I must be ready to face that bandit! I must be ready, my friends demand it! My focus must be sharp, my paddle must be steady, but most of all, I must be ready! Wham, wham, wham, I need more practice! Slam, slam, slam, so I'll use this cactus! Go, go, go, I'll work and sweat..... no, no, no! I'm not ready yet! I'm not ready yet! (speaking) It looks like a storm's a-coming. It's not a regular storm, it's a hailstorm! (singing) I must be ready to face that bandit! I must be ready, my friends demand it! My focus must be sharp, my paddle must be steady, but most of all, I must be ready! Rat, tat, tat, I'm getting stronger! Now take that, won't be much longer! Boom, boom, boom and pow, pow, pow! Tarnations, I'm ready now! I'm ready now! So now, I'm ready to face that bandit! So now, I'm ready, just like I planned it! My focus is so sharp, my paddle is so steady, but most of all, I'm truly ready! I'm truly ready!
