Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you're looking for fun baby we're a shoe in
But we're a little young to be doin' what we're doin', yeah
We can do anything we can go anywhere,
Got our pockets full of rockets
And we're loaded for bear, oh yeah
Not talkin' 'bout a mundane day of the week
So get yourself a platypus and a dean guitar
'Cause if you think this summer's been great so far just watch,
We'll kick it up a notch!
(Kick it up a notch) Just what we're gonna do
(Gonna kick it up a notch) Take it up a level or two
(Kick it up a notch) Yeah I know where we're gonna go
'Cause everybody knows summer rocks but now we're ready to roll
Summertime and the sky is blue
We can do anything we set our minds too
We got heads full dreams and sneakers full of feet
The world is our oyster and life is tastin' sweet
We're takin' off like we're in a super sonic jet
But if you think we've gone about as high as we can get just watch
We're gonna kick it up a notch
(Kick it up a notch) Oh man you know it's true
(Kick it up a notch, kick it up a notch) We're gonna push on through
(Kick it up a notch, kick it up a notch) We're not content to go with the flow
'Cause everybody knows summer rocks and now we're ready to roll
Alright Slash let's roll
(Kick it up a notch) Yeah, crankin' up the evil
(Kick it up a notch) I'll cause political upheaval
(Kick it up a notch) Yeah I'm gonna get medieval on you
(Kick it up a notch) Yeah this is our debut
(Kick it up a notch, kick it up a notch) Can't wait to read the review
(Kick it up a notch, kick it up a notch) Yeah I can feel it down in my soul
'Cause everybody knows summer rocks and now we're ready to roll
(Kick it up a notch) It's just what we're gonna do
(Kick it up a notch, kick it up a notch) Take it up a level or two
(Kick it up a notch, kick it up a notch) I know where we're gonna go
'Cause everybody knows summer rocks and now we're ready to roll
(Kick it up a notch)Oh man you know it's true
(Kick it up a notch, kick it up a notch) We're gonna push on through
(Kick it up a notch, kick it up a notch) Not gonna go with the flow
'Cause everybody knows summer rocks but now we're ready to roll
The song "Kick It Up a Notch" by Cast (from the animated TV series Phineas and Ferb) is a high-energy anthem about living life to the fullest, especially during summertime. The opening lines set the tone: "If you're looking for fun baby we're a shoe in, But we're a little young to be doin' what we're doin'." The song then goes on to describe the excitement of pursuing one's dreams and taking risks. The lyrics reference rocket-filled pockets and a sense of adventure: "We can do anything we can go anywhere, Got our pockets full of rockets And we're loaded for bear."
As the chorus repeats, the singers urge themselves to take things up a notch, to push harder and go further: "Kick it up a notch, take it up a level or two." This is followed by a guitar solo by Slash, which represents the "notch" being reached. The lyrics end with a series of declarations that they will continue to push harder: "I'll cause political upheaval... I'm gonna get medieval on you."
Overall, "Kick It Up a Notch" is an empowering song that encourages listeners to believe in themselves and their abilities, and to take risks in pursuit of their dreams.
