Ballroom Blitz

This song rocks! A kickass tune teamed with great lyrics. True they aren't exactly meaningful, but they really do complement the rythmn perfectly. And I know that the Blue Oyster Cult did this song, and so have a half a dozen other bands, but the version I like best is that performed by the stunning asian actress Tia Carrere, in the movie Wayne's World. A shame really she preferred a career as a B movie actress, as with this tune she proved she is a damn good singer.

Ballroom Blitz by Tia Carrere

Oh, it's been getting so hard
Living with the things you do to me
My dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see

I see a man at the back as a matter of fact
His eyes are as red as the sun
And the girl in the corner let no one ignore her
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one

Oh yeah, it was like lightning
Everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing
And they all started grooving
Oooh yeah

And the man in the back said "everyone attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said "boy, I wanna warn you"
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

I'm reaching out for something
Touching nothing's all I ever do
I softly call you over
When you appear, there's nothing left of you

Now, the man in the back is ready to crack
As he's raising his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone's woman
She could kill you with a wink of her eye

Oh yeah, it was electric
So prefectly hectic
And the band started leaving
'Cause they all stopped breathing
Whoa, yeah

And the man in the back said "everyone attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said "boy, I wanna warn you"
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

It was electric
So practically hectic
And the band started leaving
'Cause they all stopped breathing
Whoa, yeah

And the man in the back said "everyone attack"
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said "boy, I wanna warn you"
It'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

WHOAAAAA!
