During the 70s, while still in his teens, Mitchell began playing with local bands in the city of Sarnia. After evolving through a few name changes with essentially the same band, Mitchell and a group titled "Zooom" headed off for Toronto, Ontario. The band eventually dissolved, with Mitchell travelling over to the Greek islands.
Upon his return to Canada, he formed the band Max Webster, which managed to finally break through commercially. Besides playing the group, Mitchell and wrote most of the band's songs with fellow Sarnia native and lyricist, Pye Dubois (Paul Woods). Max Webster toured extensively and built a string of hits. Mitchell's solo career began after his departure from Max Webster, with session work and a succession of solo albums.
In early 1985, the song "Go For Soda" from the Akimbo Alogo album became an international hit and perhaps remains his best known song outside of his native Canada.
In 2004, Mitchell entered the radio broadcasting industry, becoming afternoon drive time host on Toronto classic rock radio station Q107.
As of 2005, Mitchell, still does the afternoon drive time on Q107, and is working on a new double CD set for a Spring 2006 release.
In December of 2005, Mitchell had proposed to the Q107 listeners that they write a Christmas song together. The resulting song is entitled "A Christmas Smile". At the end of the song, Mitchell advises his fans not to drink and drive, but to "go for a soda" instead.
Get Lucky
Kim Mitchell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
why don't you take a picture
we can get so high on love
that we can make your arms and legs cross
'cause we got adolescent liquid hearts
mad and bad make up our souls
the more moral you get the more oral we get
we're just into oceans l'amour
GET LUCKY BOYS AND GIRLS
PUT YOUR FACE TO THE WORLD
GET LUCKY BOYS AND GIRLS
PUT YOUR FACE TO THE WORLD
GET LUCKY BOYS AND GIRLS
PUT YOUR FACE TO THE WORLD
GET LUCKY BOYS AND GIRLS
PUT YOUR FACE TO THE WORLD
so you think we're into critical passion
adolescent tears could fill a bowl
naked is the dance you see
just how friendly we can be
'cause we got adolescent liquid hearts
mad and bad make up our souls
the more moral you get the more oral we get
we're just into oceans l'amour
Kim Mitchell's song Get Lucky reflects on the wild, carefree spirit of youth and the freedom that comes with it. In the opening lines, Mitchell invites the listener to capture the moment of love they share by taking a picture. He sings about how deeply they can love each other and how it can make their arms and legs cross. The notion of adolescent liquid hearts symbolizes the raw passion and recklessness of youth.
The lyric "mad and bad make up our souls" suggests that their love is made up of imperfections and flaws, yet it remains genuine and pure. The more moralistic society becomes, the more they indulge in their oral desires, representing the idea of breaking free from societal norms and moral codes.
The chorus, "Get Lucky Boys and Girls, Put your face to the world," encourages living life to the fullest, enjoying every moment, and making the most of the opportunities that come your way. The song is a celebration of life, love, and the freedom to live it on one's terms.
