Born and raised in Melbourne, Minogue first achieved recognition starring in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Robinson. She gained prominence as a recording artist in the late 1980s and released four bubblegum and dance-pop-influenced studio albums produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. By the early 1990s, she had amassed several top ten singles in the UK and Australia, including "I Should Be So Lucky", "The Loco-Motion", "Hand on Your Heart", and "Better the Devil You Know". Taking more creative control over her music, Minogue signed with Deconstruction Records in 1993 and released Kylie Minogue (1994) and Impossible Princess (1997), both of which received positive reviews. She returned to mainstream dance-oriented music with 2000's Light Years, including the number-one hits "Spinning Around" and "On a Night Like This". The follow-up, Fever (2001), was an international breakthrough for Minogue, becoming her best-selling album to date. Two of its singles, "Love at First Sight" and "In Your Eyes", became hits, but its lead single, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" became one of the most successful singles of the 2000s, selling over five million units.
Minogue continued reinventing her image and experimenting with a range of genres on her subsequent albums, which spawned successful singles such as "Slow", "2 Hearts", "All the Lovers", "Santa Baby", "Timebomb" and "Dancing". With her 2020 album DISCO, she became the first female artist to have a chart-topping album in the UK for five consecutive decades. Minogue made her film debut in The Delinquents (1989) and portrayed Cammy in Street Fighter (1994). She has also appeared in the films Moulin Rouge! (2001), Jack & Diane, Holy Motors (2012) and San Andreas (2015). In 2014, she appeared as a judge on the third series of The Voice UK and The Voice Australia. Her other ventures include product endorsements, children's books, fashion, and charitable work.
Minogue was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 2008 New Year Honours for services to music. She was appointed by the French government as a Chevalier (knight) of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for her contribution to the enrichment of French culture. In 2005, while Minogue was on tour, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was awarded an honorary Doctor of Health Science (D.H.Sc.) degree by Anglia Ruskin University in 2011 for her work in raising awareness for breast cancer. At the 2011 ARIA Music Awards, she was inducted by the Australian Recording Industry Association into the ARIA Hall of Fame. She was appointed Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in the 2019 Australia Day Honours.

Too Much of a Good Thing
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do
If I give you my love
Don't refuse it
Won't wear it out
If we use it
It's something special
Once you've got it
I promise you won't lose it
[Chorus:]
Too much of a good thing
You can never get enough
Of my good love
Open up and let me in
Too much of a good thing
Let my love take control
When you're with me there'll never me
We're gonna do it, let's get to it
Don't tell me to slow down
Or take it easy
I want you right now
And completely
If I give you my heart
Maybe you'll see
You will never need
A love in place of me
[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
We're gonna do it, let's get to it
We're gonna do it, let's get to it
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do
[Chorus:]

This takes me way back to my much younger years when I would dance around the house singing and listening to this with my Walkman....

This album is one my favorite of hers. It's a pair with "Rhythm of Love".

I actually thought this was the title track of the album when I first heard it. I mean, the actual title track has this really soft and slow "Let's get to it... riii-hii-hiiiiight awaaaaay" - not bad, but not really attention-grabbing the first time.
And then you have this track "YOU WANNA DO IT? LET'S GET TO IT!!!" Wow, okay, let's go, I guess!
But all joking aside, this is my favourite track from the album - really unique production, I'd say.
