Klaatu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eyes of blue and hair of lightning
You jet around in your chrome-atomic platform shoes
I'm so in love with you
My Juicy Luicy
My Juicy Luicy
You spend your evenings with Alexander
That fire-breathing salamander
Luicy kissed me and she said "Can't you?"
I said no but I was willing to
Love you with all my might
Though a million nights
Wouldn't be enough it's true
'Cause Juicy Luicy I'm so in love with you
It's the way you rock and roll
You're too too much
You're too too much
You're too too much
My Juicy Luicy
Oh
Luicy kissed me and she said "Can't you?"
I said no but I was willing to
Love you with all my might
Though a million nights
Wouldn't be enough it's true
'Cause Juicy Luicy I'm so in love with you
Won't you let me get my boots on too
And we'll sail across the sky so blue
Look out sky, here we come
My Juicy Luicy
My Juicy Luicy
My Juicy Luicy
'Cause I'm so in love with you
“Juicy Luicy” is a song by the Canadian rock band Klaatu, which celebrates the love of the singer towards a woman named “Juicy Luicy”. He describes her as exciting with eyes of blue and hair of lightning who is always jetting around in her chrome-atomic platform shoes. The second stanza mentions that Juicy Luicy spends her evenings with Alexander, a fire-breathing salamander who plays electric guitar and sings the blues. The woman asks the singer if he is willing to kiss her, to which he responds positively. He expresses his love for her with all his might and even though a million nights wouldn't be enough, it doesn’t come across as desperate. The last stanza says that he wants to join Juicy Luicy in her adventures and sail across the sky in her boots. The song ends with the singer still professing his love for Juicy Luicy.
The song “Juicy Luicy” was written by John Woloschuk, a member of Klaatu. The song was featured in the band’s debut album named “3:47 E.S.T.”, which was released on September 1976. Klaatu was a band that was often compared to The Beatles due to their similar sound, despite denying any direct influence from the British band. The band members opted for assumed identities (Ringo Starr even joked about them being The Beatles in disguise) and never appeared in their album covers, keeping a secretive profile. The album 3:47 E.S.T. is known for the Beatlesque sound and concept, with most reviews describing it as a tribute to the legendary Liverpool band. The song “Juicy Luicy” is considered one of the most Beatlesque tracks on the album. The song was never released as a single; however, it managed to chart at #88 in Canada in February 1977. The song remains popular among Canadian listeners, being featured in multiple TV shows and films, such as “Trailer Park Boys”, “Fubar 2”, and “Father’s Day”.
