From the recording BADABING BADABOOM
"Which came first, the band or the song?"..I've been asked. Well, the answer is, the band came first. Chris, our bass player, suggested I write a song called BadaBing BadaBoom, and make sure it was a "real fast" one. We used this to close every show, introduce the band, etc. I remember writing it...thinking "Geez, what the hell is this??" It evolved over the years, with many different arrangements with an occasional trainwreck, but that's what the crowd waited for. When I'm asked what BadaBing BadaBoom means, I just say.."I love you very, very...fast"
Lyrics
BADABING BADABOOM
BADABING BADABOOM
WANNA SWING THAT THING GONNA NEED A LITTLE ROOM
BADABING BADABOOM, BADABING BADABOOM
ANYBODY WANT TO 1, 2, 3
BADABING BADABOOM
WHEN YOU HEAR THIS SOUND
EVERYBODY GET DOWN
KICK YOUR SHOES OFF
PITCH A LITTLE WOO
PICK YOUR PARTNER, CART HER OFF TO THE
WOOD FLOOR GOOD FOR YOUR HEART LET’S START…
WHEN YOU HEAR THIS SONG
EVERYBODY COME ALONG
THROW YOUR HIPS OUT
POUT YOUR LIPS
KISS ON YOUR MATE, YOUR DATE’S SURE A WINNER
SPIN HER SO LOW, LET’S GO
GONNA SING IN HARMONY
NO HARM IN NEEDING SOMEONE
SOLO’S NO FUN
SHAKE IT LIKE A LOOSE GOOSE FOLLOW ME
HOOCHIE COOCHIE, 1, 2,3..
