On July 7th, 1984, Helix released Walkin’ the Razor’s Edge, (their 4th album/on Capitol Records). I was very much the fan of Helix back then… still am. You see, Helix is one of those Heavy Metal Bands that always liked to put the (gasp) fun into Heavy Metal Music. I used to own this album… on vinyl too. This Helix album is another one I would like to find again on vinyl, (yup, I got rid of this album for some insane reason years ago), only I want an original pressing from 1984 and at a thrift store price too. I will find this album again on one of my Metal hunts… I can feel it. For now, I am Metal psyched to at least own a digital copy of the single Rock You from Walkin’ the Razor’s Edge. This is one cool and fun – Heavy Metal song from 1984. Rock You started playing in my head earlier today, therefore, I cranked up this song on my stereo system and it served me right. This is a tried and true, Classic Heavy Metal Anthem that still works for me. Rock You is my Heavy Metal song for this weekend of September 12/13 of ’09. I have compiled the lyrics below, just to prove my point as to why this song is fun. LONG LIVE HELIX and… ROCK YOU!
ROCK YOU:
(chorus -1)
Give me an R-O-C-K
Whatcha got (ROCK)
And whatcha gonna do (ROCK YOU)
Gimme an R-O-C-K
Whatcha got (ROCK)
And whatcha gonna do (ROCK YOU)
Hot as a pistol
Loaded like a gun
Waiting for some action
Gotta have my fun
Don’t just sit there
C’mon get up and move
If you want to
Tell ya’ what we’re gonna do
(chorus-2)
Rock you (ROCK YOU)
Rock You (ROCK YOU)
I’ve been waiting for so long
For the outcome
Gotta play it strong
So just don’t sit there
C’mon get up and move
If you want to
Tell ya’ what we’re gonna do
(chorus-2)
(chorus-1)
(solo)
Rock you
Don’t just sit there
C’mon get up and move
If you want to
Tell ya’ what we’re gonna do
(chorus-2-out)
