Action
Cannon Freddy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's so neat to meet ya baby where the action is.
In every little town cross the U.S.A.
There's a spot where the people tangle everyday
Just leave your problems and get away
Come down and listen to the guitars play.
Dance, dance dance get up off of your seat
Dance, dance dance let your back bone slip
Let's go to the place on the Sunset Strip
Oh, baby come on, let me take you where the action is. (3X)
It's so neat to meet ya baby where the action is.
The lyrics of Cannon Freddy's song ACTION convey a desire to take someone on an adventure to where the action is, where people are mingling and having a good time. The song describes a place in every little town across the USA where people gather to forget their problems and listen to the guitars play. The chorus urges the listener to dance and let loose when they hear the beat, encouraging them to get up and leave their problems behind. The artist then specifically mentions the Sunset Strip, a famous street in Los Angeles where many nightclubs and music venues are located. This creates a sense of excitement and anticipation, a desire to experience the best of what life has to offer in terms of entertainment and social interaction.
In essence, the song is an ode to living in the moment, to enjoying life to the fullest, and experiencing new things. The lyrics paint a picture of a carefree attitude and enjoying oneself, creating a joyful image of being surrounded by the sounds of music, laughter and dancing.

Fun song by Freddy Cannon Oh baby come on Where The Action Is
@Mrjonsongz
Freddy Cannon performed great rock n roll! His records sometimes didn't show that, but this one did. With a great band like this he could go for it. And he did.

This is the first song that was played in a Radio Station called "La Femenina" in El Salvador Central America when it was born on February 2nd,1966.
57 years later it is still on the air, uninterrupted. Long life to "The voice of the new generation"

Yes, and I graduated from H. S. and went to the university at that exact time. Always had my car radio on (when my parents weren't with me). 😊
