Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bronski's song Heatwave talks about heading towards a summer heat wave with tattoos, muscle, passion, and sweat. The repetition of "Summer he-e-e-e-e-eat wave yeah" in the chorus emphasizes the intensity of the heatwave. The excessive heat can make people feel agitated, restless, and uncomfortable. The lines "tattoos and muscle", could symbolize the young generation's attempt to assert their identity and individuality through body art while "Passion and sweat" may represent the excitement, hard work, and determination that come with pursuing goals and dreams during the summer season.


The verses of the song are made up of nonsensical syllables ("Dee dab dee ra dee dab dee dab doo"), possibly referring to the carefree and playful mood of summer. The repetition of "Summer heat save" at the end probably is to emphasize the predicament of saving yourself from the scorching heat. Overall, the lyrics convey the essence, and the experience of people during the intense summer heat waves.

The notes are super high but very amazing song one my favorites

@shiwithani4290

I once read that the clacking beat they used was originally from some jazz/ swing song. But I can't for the life of me remember where I read that or what song it was or weather I made up that memory entirely.
If anyone knows anything I'd be grateful for an answer.
