Fancy made a comeback in 1998 with the remix of his biggest hit Flames Of Love. It didn't take long to captivate audiences around Europe once again. That year Fancy released Hit Party with remixes of his old hits and some new compositions. Only a year later another album D.I.S.C.O. was released and received very good reviews from the fans since most songs were based on an old Fancy formula which made him a star in the '80s. Then came the album Locomotion in 2001.
The second Fancy (http://myspace.com/welovefancy) is a flamboyant three-piece outfit from the notorious riot zones in the working-class suburbs of Paris.
Mixing AC/DC and T-Rex with the glitter ball sparkle of disco, Fancy comes armed with loads of make-up, feather boas, killer tunes at the ready, and a mountain of glowing press in France - including the "Most Entertaining Group" award from the French newspaper Liberation. Onstage, Fancy has supported MC5, TV on the Radio, Daft Punk and The Rapture.
FANCY also co-wrote the recent Justice hit ‘D.A.N.C.E.’.
“Above all, we’re about making love”, says their singer and resident rock god/dess Jessie Chaton.
The third Fancy is a British white funk band of the 1970's most famous for their cover of the Trogg's "Wild Thing," a single which went gold in the U.S. Former Penthouse pet Helen Court sang steamily, Rick Fenwick ex-of the Spencer Davis Group played guitar, Mo Foster bass, Henry Spinetti drums and Alan Hawkshaw keyboards. Fancy released several subsequent albums replacing Court with Annie Cavanaugh from the cast of Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar, but failed to regain the same success.
The fourth Fancy is a San Jose, CA based synth pop band that formed immediately after the dissolution of Volvox. Fancy eventually evolved into the solo project of Proton Pigeon.
Colder Than Ice
Fancy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Colder than ice
Vision fixed on the door
Colder than ice
Now she knows that she's nice
Go to head and meet blue eyes
No one dances her twice
'cause who wants to get burned by the ice
REFRAIN:
Who will reach her tonight
Before she takes flight
She's colder than ice
How can I get in first
Her to entice
She's colder than ice
Colder than ice
Suddenly he's almost there
And she's in his arms
Holds her close to him
And she feels his charms
Can't see it no more
Could it be I'm losing for sure
Oh it's breaking me up
'cause I'm the only one
Who dares to walk on the ice
Who will reach her tonight
Before she takes flight
She's colder than ice
How can I get in first
Her to entice
She's colder than ice
Who will reach her tonight
Before she takes flight
She's colder than ice
How can I get in first
Her to entice
She's colder than ice
Colder than ice
She's colder than ice
Who will reach her tonight
Before she takes flight
She's colder than ice
How can I get in first
Her to entice
She's colder than ice
Who will reach her tonight
Before she takes flight
She's colder than ice
How can I get in first
Her to entice
She's colder than ice
Colder than ice
(Colder than ice)
The lyrics of FANCY's song "Colder Than Ice" describe a woman who stands alone in the dark, fixating on a door. She is "colder than ice" and guarded, and the lyrics suggest that this is because she has been hurt or rejected in the past. Despite her standoffish nature, the singer is drawn to her and wants to be the one to reach her before she "takes flight" and disappears. He is aware of the risks involved in pursuing her, as she is like a dangerous and unpredictable force ("who wants to get burned by the ice"), but he is willing to take the chance. The song ultimately expresses a desire for connection and intimacy, despite the barriers that may exist.
The repeated refrain of "Who will reach her tonight / Before she takes flight / She's colder than ice" captures the sense of urgency and longing that the singer feels. It conveys both the difficulty of reaching this woman and the importance of doing so before it's too late. The song suggests that there is a vulnerability and warmth beneath the woman's icy exterior, and that the singer is willing to brave the risk of rejection or disappointment in order to uncover it.
Overall, "Colder Than Ice" is a poignant and emotional song that explores the themes of guardedness, risk-taking, and the desire for connection. It speaks to the universal human need for intimacy and the challenges that can arise when we try to reach out to one another.
