It is very much worth noting that Calloway's "one-hit" wonder status only came after they had been members and music producers of the very successful 1980's soul ensemble, Midnight Star. Their hits with Midnight Star are numerous including NO PARKING ON THE DANCE FLOOR and HEADLINES, to name only two. The group Midnight Star had several gold and platinum albums during the 80's.
After the duo's recording career dried up, they became successful record producers.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wouldn't it be fun for each one to rock all of the time
I want to rock, just rock, it's a pleasure to swing
Come and join the crowd, shout out loud, rock is really the thing
You have to stomp your feet and clap your hands so come on, begin
We're gonna swing and sway till that great day
So lace up your shoes, throw 'way your blues
Take a little bow, step on out, come and rock it with me
Oh, rock it, rock it, rock it, brother Calloway
Hold the rock here (digthis little break then cut on out)
Solid, boys, that beat, I want to rock, just rock, yes, the feeling is fine
Wouldn't it be fun for each one to rock all of the time (beat that jam on out)
I want to rock it and a rock it and a rock it and a rock it, it's a pleasure to swing
Come and join me crowd, shout out loud rock is feeling the thing

Lace up your shoes, throw away your blues

Take a little bow, step up now, come on, rock it with me
