BABY STARTED ROCKIN'
By Geza Keller
This song was also written during the reign of BTC in 1997-98, when the band played this upbeat and fast-paced rock song to open their shows.
This toe-tapping crowd pleaser harkens back to the era of Ricky Nelson from "Ozzie and Harriet," when Geza grew up watching bee-bopping teenage girls dancing in their rooms as the 78s or 45s spun on a little turntable.
With a bit of modernizing, the lyrics now reflect the new technology of today's teens, who listen to MP3s or YouTube on their phones or tablets. Kids are still dancing, and the handwritten signs on their bedroom doors still convey the same message: Please knock before entering!"
LYRICS:
Little girls all around the world are dancin’ in their rooms
Shuffling a thousand MP3’s like they were 78’s
Well sweet sixteen she made prom queen hip hoppin in the light
At 21 she’s on the run ‘cause the backbeat makes it right
Baby started rockin’, she can’t stop it, that’s all that she knows
Keep on movin’, keep on groovin’ from your head down to your toes
Baby started rockin’, she can’t stop it, that’s all that she knows
Keep on movin’, keep on groovin’ from your head down to your toes
Monday night is “nitro” time, Tuesday’s Ladies Night
Wednesday’s fine, audition time, Thursday's a party all night
Well Friday’s scene can get extreme and Saturday you’re the queen
When Sunday comes it’s much more fun ‘cause you’re back where you started again
Keep on movin’, keep on groovin’ From your head down to your toes
Baby started rockin’, she can’t stop it, now everybody knows
Keep on movin’, keep on groovin’ From your head down to your toes
I heard you say when you turn gray things will never change
You may hip-hop and dance the bop and waltz the night away
But it’s not the same there is just no flame when you hear that music play
It’s that hard drivin’, ass kickin’, rock and roll that really wants to make you sway
Baby Started Rockin'
Baby Started Rockin'
Baby Started Rockin'
Video production is underway. Stay tuned!
