No matter how many times I hear this song, I never tire of it! I also adore the fact that it was chosen for the opening scene of The Wedding Singer. I've already mentioned that film a time or two in other posts. So here is a bonus clip for that:
Something that I learned from Wikipedia is that the strings were based on Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner. Interestingly enough, I remember reading in Phil Spector's biography that he used to blast the same piece by Wagner when he was composing all of his 1960s Girl Group hits. So take heed, musicians --- turn on Wagner when you need inspiration. It worked for Burns & Spector!!!
Yeah I, I got to know your name
Well and I, could trace your private number baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
I want some
Well I...I set my sights on you
(and no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby
(and no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're havin' fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come
*You spin me right round, baby
right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
I, I got be your friend now, baby
And I would like to move in
Just a little bit closer
(little bit closer)
**All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come
[*Repeat]
I want your love
I want your love
[**Repeat]
[*Repeat and fade with ad lib]
