The Rhythm Kings are renowned for their popular live performances as they frequently tour through Europe and the United Kingdom. The group has conducted only one tour in the United States, during the middle of 2001. The touring unit often is compared to Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band for its somewhat revolving door of membership as established musicians move from project to project.
Spooky
Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When everything is getting kind of groovy
You call me up and ask me
Would I like to go with you and see a movie?
First I say no, Ive got some plans for tonight
And then I stop and say all right
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you
I never seem to know what you are thinking
And if a girl looks at you
Its for sure your little eye will be a-winking
I get confused, I never know where I stand
And then you smile and hold my hand
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you
Spooky
If you decide some day to stop this little game that you are a-playing
Im gonna tell you all the things my hearts been a-dying to be saying
Just like a ghost youve been a-haunting my dreams
But now I know you're not what you seem
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you
Spooky
Ahh, ahh, spooky, mmm, spooky, ahh, ahh, ahh, spooky, ooh, spooky
Ahh, aah, aah, spooky

Despite her confusion, she is drawn to him and takes his hand when he smiles. The chorus reinforces the idea that love with this mysterious boy is crazy but irresistible.
In the final verse, the girl expresses her desire for the boy to be more open with her, and tells him that she has been haunted by thoughts of him. She declares that now she knows he is not what he appeared to be, but that love with him is still crazy and spooky.
Overall, the song is a fun and upbeat tribute to the excitement and confusion of falling in love with someone who is unpredictable and mysterious.

In the cool of the evening
During a peaceful time of day
When everything is getting kind of groovy
When everything is feeling good
You call me up and ask me
You ask me over the phone
Would I like to go with you and see a movie?
If I want to accompany you to a movie theater
First I say no, Ive got some plans for tonight
At first, I decline due to prior commitments
And then I stop and say all right
However, I eventually agree
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you
Being with you is exciting and unpredictable
You always keep me guessing
You never reveal your true intentions or feelings
I never seem to know what you are thinking
It's difficult for me to understand your thought process
And if a girl looks at you
When a female shows interest in you
Its for sure your little eye will be a-winking
You give her a flirty gesture
I get confused, I never know where I stand
I'm uncertain about our relationship
And then you smile and hold my hand
But you give me reassurance with physical affection
If you decide some day to stop this little game that you are a-playing
If you eventually want to end the games we've been playing
Im gonna tell you all the things my hearts been a-dying to be saying
I'll express all of my hidden emotions to you
Just like a ghost youve been a-haunting my dreams
You've been on my mind like a haunting apparition
But now I know you're not what you seem
But I realize you aren't exactly as you appear
Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you
Our relationship is full of surprises that both excite and unnerve me
Spooky
Mysterious and thrilling
Ahh, ahh, spooky, mmm, spooky, ahh, ahh, ahh, spooky, ooh, spooky
Repetition of the word 'spooky' for effect

The indefatigable Bill Wyman, with the use of his instrument, knows how to navigate through a tiny keyhole deep into the soul of his listening audience to unlock the magic melody.
