Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You jump and jive'n gonna make her twirl
You're swingin' now!
It's alright to want to, want to, want to hold her tight
You're dancin', dancin', dancin' throught the night
You're swingin' now!
Make your move, take a chance, just get on that floor and dance!
Keep on swingin' swing!
Grab a guy. You tell him, tell him, tell him don't ask why,
You're gonna move him, make him jump and jive
You're swingin' now!
It's ok to try, try to, try to hear 'em play
You're movin', shakin' sexy all the way
You're swingin' now!
Make your move, take a chance, just get on that floor and dance!
Don't be cool, don't be slick, you just keep on swingin', keep on swingin'
Keep on swingin' swing!
Make your move, take a chance, just get on that floor and dance!
Don't be cool, don't be slick, you just keep on swingin', keep on swingin'
Keep on swingin' swing!
The lyrics to Michael Bublι's song "Peroxide Swing" are essentially about letting loose and dancing. The song encourages the listener to grab a partner and dance the night away, not worrying about looking cool or being slick, but just embracing the joy of swinging and moving to the music. The lyrics are filled with exhortations to make a move, take a chance, and keep on swinging.
The repetition in the chorus of "Keep on swingin', swing!" reinforces this message of just letting go and enjoying the moment. The references to spinning, twirling, and jumping also underscore the idea of losing oneself in the music and the dance. The song has a joyful, upbeat sound, with a strong emphasis on swing rhythms and brass instrumentation.
