HBO — June 17, 2010 — A tribute to True Blood’s Sookie Stackhouse from one of her biggest fans, Snoop Dogg. For more information, log onto HBO.com.
No doubt Snoop is pretty funny. He’s always been good at getting his message across.
I love the dancing “Sookies” in the background and that they are not all tiny in size. They don’t even have to really work at being Sookie just dress up like her, throw on a blond wig vaguely styled in Sookie’s signature Merlotte’s do and bop around behind Snoop. Highly amusing.
Hey! I’ve watched “Oh Sookie” a couple time and I still don’t know the exact word(s) that is/are bleeped out the one time that Snoop refers to Jason Stackhouse and his versus Snoop’s sexual prowess (I think).
Snoop Dogg likes “True Blood” star Sookie Stackhouse so much, he made a song and video about her. In “Oh Sookie,” the West Coast hip-hop vet pays tribute to the HBO vampire drama’s main woman (Anna Paquin), seducing her with player talk like, “I’ll order you a gin and juice at Merlotte’s,” and, “Come close baby, I’m the dog that don’t bite — woof, woof.”
Snoop also makes a convincing case for why he’d make a better boyfriend than her immortal suitors, Bill and Eric. He won’t make her drink his blood and “We’ll do it in the daytime/Bill won’t know a thing,” he raps before a group of dancers dressed in blonde Sookie wigs and her signature Merlotte’s Daisy Dukes.

The lyrics, which demonstrate an impressive understanding of the show, spell out a comically sexual plea for Sookie to do bad things with him. But, it’s not just Sookie he’s after:
“Bring a friend/Matter fact, bring your best friend/Tara/I’ve got some real eggs for her to eat.”
In 2009, Snoop professed his love for ‘True Blood’ via his single “Gangsta Luv,” rapping: “Everyday is the same thang, I creep in/ It’s like ‘True Blood,’ I sink my teeth in/ I gotta have it.”
A source at HBO reveals the d-o-double-g himself approached them with the idea for the video, and it was shot on location of the show’s Los Angeles set.

…When Snoop Dogg likes something, no matter the genre or medium, he goes all in with it.
That might explain “Oh Sookie,” a new rhyme in which the Doggfather pays homage to the mind-reading, sex-addicted, shape-shifting, bloodsucking and howling residents of Bon Temps, Louisiana, from HBO’s vampire series “True Blood.”
In the video for the tune…Snoop offer(s) up his best sexual seduction come-ons while rocking a five-finger “Sookie” ring.
he video for the song opens with Snoop — who later rocks a giant platinum “Sookie” chain — pulling into Bon Temps in his newly tricked-out Snoopmobile, complete with a “Tru Pimp” license plate and cloves of garlic hanging from the rearview mirror. Wearing a red, pinstriped suit, he urges Sookie to come close because, unlike so many of the creatures in the swampy town, “I’m the dog that don’t bite.”
… Snoop drops references to Sookie’s telepathy and even offers to buy her a gin and juice at the restaurant where she waitresses, Merlotte’s diner. “Bill ain’t for real, he ain’t true blood/ Snoop is a G, I smoke true bud/ Wanna be a vampire, gotta listen up/ I hit you with the glamour,” he raps while hanging outside Merlotte’s in a pimp fur and later showing off his own TB product, a package of “True Nutz.”

Iconic rapper Snoop Dogg really likes vampire drama True Blood, or at the very least, one of the show’s main characters Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin).Evidence of Snoop’s True Blood-fanboyism can overwhelmingly be found in the music video “Oh Sookie” he produced and subsequently uploaded to YouTube to promote the show for HBO.
OMG. LOL. That’s pretty awesome. Snoop is a genuine fan of True Blood.
I’m in the mom demographic with my youngest kid but my oldest is in his 20′s. We saw Snoop Dogg at Lollapalooza years ago. Snoop is very much a performer. He works it. Both he and HBO are savvy marketers which something I can really appreciate when it’s done with style, in this case, Doggy Style.
…
The video begins with Snoop pulling up to Merlotte’s in a tricked-out Cadillac with a personalized California license plate that reads “TRU PIMP.” He comes bearing gifts like “Tru Nutz” and proceeds to rap amongst a montage of True Blood clips and shots of Sookie look-a-like dancers.
Clarification: Dancers dressed in Sookie’s Merlottte work-clothes costumes with blond, ponytailed hair.
This is truly a slice of pop culture.
I love how confounding it is for people who are really unfamiliar with True Blood or with Snoop Dogg but are very familiar with one of them. They either get it or they don’t and when they don’t they hate it. LOL. It’s supposed to be funny –just like much of True Blood is. It really takes a light heart to enjoy this. To be able to laugh and to give Snoop props for the effort.
It’s a catchy tune.
The lyrics have numerous references to the show, such as Snoop recommending a Gin and Juice at Merlotte’… Sam Merlotte being a shape-shifter that Snoop sort of belows the belt by referring to him as a ‘bitch.’
Snoop helpfully suggests to Sookie how she could discretely hook up with him.
Chorus:
“Oh Sookie, Let me get in your head.
Oh Sookie, We can lay in the bed.
Oh Sookie, Choose a player like me
…We can do it in the daytime, Bill won’t know a thing.”
… Snoop (also beckons Tara with): “Bring a friend. Matter of fact, bring your best friend: Tara. I got some real eggs for her to eat. And these eggs come with a whole lot of cheese and greens… ya dig?”
