Dangerous Mood
@ Rock-Weekend: B.B. King Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look out baby
I'm in a dangerous mood
I done called up the boss man
Told him where to go
And just what to do

Call me crazy
But I did what I had to do
You can call me stupid
I just did what I had to do
I had to steal a little time baby
So I could spend it all on you

I parked the car down the street
And I unplugged the phone
So it would look just like
Ain't nobody home

I put a rose on your pillow
Where you lay your pretty head
I'm gonna rub your tired shoulders
Bring your dinner to your bed

Look out baby
I'm in a dangerous mood

I had to steal a little time baby
So I could spend it all on you

I'm gonna light a candle
Put the champagne on ice
And if one ain't enough
Well we'll just have to do it twice
I done made myself a will
And I've called my next of kin
'Cause I'm gonna love you over
And over and over
Again and again
Look out baby
I'm in a dangerous mood
I had to steal a little time baby
So I could spend it all on you
Look out baby
I'm in a dangerous mood
Look out baby
I'm in a dangerous mood




I just this one last paycheck baby
And I'm gonna spend every dime on you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of B.B. King’s “Dangerous Mood” speak of a man who is taking risks because of his overwhelming desire to be with the object of his affection. The song seems to be a confession of love and a declaration of his willingness to do whatever it takes to be with her. He has stolen time from his boss and is willing to spend his last paycheck on her. His actions might be seen as irrational and risky, but he is willing to face any consequences as long as he can spend time with her.


The man in the lyrics goes to great lengths to show his love. He unplugs the landline and parks down the street to make it seem as though no one is home. He then goes ahead to place a rose on her pillow, massage her shoulders, and serve her dinner in bed. These actions are meant to show her how much he cares for her and how far he is willing to go to make her happy.


The song portrays love as an intense feeling that can drive people to take risks and do things that may seem crazy to others. It speaks of the intense desire to be with someone and the willingness to make sacrifices for that person. It also shows the importance of taking risks and following one’s heart, even if it means going against societal norms and expectations.

@@asimoes1974 no idea why you mentioned a parade, but the situation im thinking of is a what if situation.

Say its mid summer, 30 degrees C with no wind and a few scum bags come and ram the gate in a sort of fashion to over throw the hierarchy and send a msg to the world. After ramming the gate their vehicle stops working so these guys get out and charge for the front doors "where is the front 2 guards and the door guard" you may ask, ah well one tried to shoot the vehicle and landed a few shots however missed his target because he was wearing an animal over his eyes, and the second one passed out while making a dash towards the truck. Which resulted in one of the 2 dieing, (one went unchecked with heat stroke for several hours and the other hit by the truck he barely saw)

The front door guards attempted to put up a fight againsed the (lets say 4 men in a bullet proof vest and a t shirt and cargo pants) these 4 men easily take down these trained killers by simply knocking them down with a gun, these guards r tired from just working 1 hour 50 minutes in the scorching sun and are exausted, one attempts to raise his gun to shoot but because of his thick and heavy clothes he didnt raise his arm in time and died.

These men make it inside where they are gunned down because im sure interior floor security is wearing normal bullet proof vests and sports suits (normal looking suits for a professional look but are actually rather stretchy and allow for gymnastics)....

I fabricated the last part, but im just saying you may not make it to actually kill the queen no matter how hard one may try, but the presidents white house is much more secure and has stronger personel at hand because they arent arrogant enough to force their fighters into the damn flag just rep their country (or patriotic enough? idk i dont think im using the right term but you know what i mean)



@AlainMcInnis

in 2021......Canadian troops have once again been named to perform as the Queen’s Guard in London.

Some 80 members of the Royal Canadian Regiment (RCR) are heading to the UK along with 35 members of the Royal Canadian Artillery (RCA) band.

The Canadian soldiers will take up their guard duty positions on October 21 and continue until November 12.

The Queen’s Guard are soldiers charged, in support of the civil authorities, with guarding the Sovereign and the official royal residences in the UK. These include Buckingham Palace, St. James’s Palace, Windsor Castle and the Tower of London.

This is especially significant as they will be acting as sentries during this 100th anniversary year of the end of the First World War.

After hearing the guards punishments makes me feel awful because people don’t know how making them laugh can literally ruin there life. The

@Benjd0

A lot of this is fairly misleading or just perpetuating myths, military prison is a potential punishment for any soldier in the Army, but it's reserved for only the worst offences. Making a guard laugh would at most be a fine from their pay, although from what I've heard, these days that's probably unlikely too, probably depends more on who notices if they do.
