In the 1980s, Setzer fronted the popular rockabilly band, Stray Cats. Stray Cats caught America's attention with the 1982 album Built for Speed, which included the two Top Ten hits, Rock This Town (#9) and Stray Cat Strut (#3), as well as with the follow-up 1983 album Rant N Rave, which included the two successful singles (She's) Sexy + 17 (#5), and I Won't Stand In Your Way (#35).
In the 1990s, Setzer led a comeback of sorts for swing music and big band music, when he formed Brian Setzer Orchestra. The band has released 5 albums to date and one live DVD. This group had one hit, Jump, Jive, and Wail around the same time songs like the Cherry Poppin' Daddies Zoot Suit Riot had been received favorably in mainstream America.
Brian Setzer also recorded some solo albums during Stray Cats' break in the 1980s along with some in the 1990s. In 2001 he released an album titled Ignition with his band '68 Comeback Special. A new solo album titled Rockabilly Riot Vol. 1: A Tribute To Sun Records was released on July 26, 2005, in the United States.

Brian Setzer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well she
Lips like fluid drive
And if you don
Just take her for a ride
Some say that she
Well she just makes my engine race
She
Ignition
She turned the key and my heart jumps
Ignition
She sure can make my spark plug pump
Well cruisin
And if I say I
Call it electricity but something is in the air
Oh when my baby kisses me Sparks fly everywhere
Ignition
She turned the key and my heart rocks
Ignition
She sure can make my spark plug pop
Pull up to the starting gate you know you
Brother you just hug that rail
If you drive in the fast lane And think your cruisin
Check out your rearview mirror man Let the real thing by
I
I
Ignition
She turned the key and my heart jumps
Ignition
She sure can make my spark plug pump
Ignition
She turned the key and my heart rocks
Ignition
She sure can make my spark plug pop
In this song, Brian Setzer describes the thrill of being in the presence of a woman who embodies the spirit of a fast and powerful car. Her lips are like "fluid drive" and her very presence makes his "engine race." The metaphor of the car is used throughout the song to describe her dynamic presence and her ability to spark passion and excitement inside of him. She ignites his heart like an engine ignites a car, with a single turn of a key. The chorus of the song declares her power over him with the repeated refrain of "Ignition, She turned the key and my heart jumps/Ignition, She sure can make my spark plug pump/Ignition, She turned the key and my heart rocks/Ignition, She sure can make my spark plug pop."
The lyrics suggest that this woman is not just any car but a high-performance vehicle, one "built for speed" that others can only admire from afar. Setzer, however, is lucky enough to have her attention and affection, as demonstrated by the "sparks [that] fly everywhere" when she kisses him. The song encourages listeners to live fast and embrace their passions, but never forget about the thrill of being in the presence of a powerful woman who can ignite their hearts and set their souls on fire.
