Cant get next to you babe, I cant get next to you (2x)
I can fly like a bird in the sky, and I can buy anything that money can
buy,
Oh Ican turn a river into a ragin fire, I can live forever if I so desire
Unimportant are all the things I can do
Cause I cant get next to you

Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess

| This song is probably my favorite of all time. So much so that I became a member here to add comments about it. This song has all four of the elements necessary for a great song. For me, a truly great rock ‘n’ roll song must have the following: 1) The “shake your booty” factor. 2) A musical hook/grove that won’t let you go 3) A lyrical edge that makes it interesting at another level. This edge can be anything, love, drugs, lust, sexual, social-political, or just a great story. 4) Most importantly, it has to make you want to be the star. The song has to be fun to sing. I first heard this song as a ninth grader and have loved it for nearly 40 years. My friend Steve and I grooved out this 45 on his portable record player listening in the photo darkroom of our Junior High School. I have no idea if there is some other allegorical meaning to this song but for me, it will always be about unrequited love/lust (I ‘m sure someone will say this song is about drugs). The song tells the sad saga of someone who has infinite confidence and abilities but pales in comparison to the object of lust. The Temps sing with a passion and a frenzy that echoes my early crushes, knowing that I would never be able to approach the girl. Absolutely wonderful stuff. This is what rock ‘n’ roll is all about! | |
