Boing Beat
Danny L Harle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
MC boing, tonight's MC
Smash release, euphoric dreams
Getting up hype on the internet extreme
MC Boing in the front of the queue
Looking at my mates and they're looking at you
Looking at the lights and the music in my head
Will you take me home?
Hold my hands
Dance with me (and the angel said)
You're MC Boing
Take me up to the rave in the sky
We're all about to get a room that's nice
MC Boing is about to fly
He's on the wings of a bird in the angel's eyes
Sickest, sickest night, never, never, never ends
Never, never, never, never, never, never ends
Sickest, sickest night, never, never, never ends
Never, never, never, never, never, never ends
MC boing
MC boing
MC, MC, MC boing
MC boing
MC boing
MC, MC, MC boing
Step outside into the fresh air
Feel it on your face, flowing up into your hair
Energy levels way beyond ten
Party by myself with my mates sometimes
Sickest, sickest night, never, never, never ends
Never, never, never, never, never, never ends
Legendary mates all in the same room
With a hardcore energy sonic boom
To the boing
And I'm in a funky car
Drove so fast that I'm in a funky car
Music in the radio car
Angels singing
La, la, la, la
Boing
And I'm in a funky car
Drove so fast that I'm in a funky car
Music in the radio car
Angels singing, angels singing
Angels singing, angels singing
Angels singing, angels singing
Angels singing, angels singing
MC Boing is bouncing all night
Everyone here is safe and nice
Makes me wanna have a great life
Angels singing, bass is tight
The lyrics of Danny L Harle's "Boing Beat" feature MC Boing as the singer and central figure of the song. Boing is the MC of the night and the lyrics describe the rave experience, the music, and energy of the crowd. The song speaks of the euphoric dreams that the music inspires and the hype that gets generated around the internet. Boing is the voice of this world and the energy of the ravers, becoming the angelic figure who uplifts people with his voice.
The chorus is about escaping reality to a dream world in the sky where Boing is the leader of the rave. Here, he flies with the angels and creates a world where there are no limits to the fun they can have. Boing is the one who holds it all together, taking listeners on a journey from the dancefloor to the clouds, where everything is possible. The verses then describe the aftermath, where Boing emerges from the rave and feels the energy from the night still coursing through his veins. The sick night never ends, as the euphoria carries on through the fresh air and energy flows into his veins. The final lyrics see Boing declare that the bass is tight and that the night makes him want to have a great life, as the angels sing on.
