During the mid-1970s, with guitarist Uli Jon Roth (who replaced Schenker's younger brother Michael) part of the lineup, the music of the Scorpions was defined as hard rock. After Roth's departure in 1978, Schenker and Meine took control of the group, giving them almost all the power to compose music and write lyrics. Matthias Jabs joined in 1978, and with the melodic rock he played and the influence of producer Dieter Dierks in the band, the Scorpions changed their sound to melodic heavy metal mixed with lyrical "power rock ballads", which is evident in the album Lovedrive (1979), which began the evolution of the band's sound, with recording a developed later in several of their albums. Michael Schenker also played on the Lovedrive album. Over the next decade, the band achieved influence, approval from music critics, and significant commercial success with the albums Animal Magnetism (1980), Blackout (1982), Love at First Sting (1984), the live recording World Wide Live (1985), Savage Amusement (1988), their best-selling compilation Best of Rockers 'n' Ballads (1989), and Crazy World (1990), all awarded at least one platinum award in the United States. The band has released thirteen consecutive studio albums that were in the top 10 in Germany, one of which reached No. 1, as well as three consecutive albums that were in the top 10 in the Billboard 200 in the United States. Their latest studio album, Rock Believer, was released in February 2022.
Scorpions are estimated to have sold over 100 million records around the world, making them one of the best-selling hard rock and heavy metal bands. One of their most recognized hits is "Wind of Change" (from Crazy World), a symbolic anthem of the political changes in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s and the fall of the Berlin Wall, and it remains as one of the best-selling singles in the world with over 14 million copies. Two of the songs on their ninth studio album Love at First Sting, "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and "Still Loving You", are regarded as some of the most influential and popular works, both in heavy metal music and among rock ballads, defined as "rock anthem" and "a true hymn of love".

Scorpions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He says he has the blues but he has a lotta fun.
Oh baby,
Ye-e-e-eh baby,
Woo-o-o-oh baby,
Havin me some fun tonight.
Well, long tall sally has a lot on the ball
Oh baby,
Ye-e-e-eh baby,
Woo-o-o-oh baby,
Havin me some fun tonight.
Well, I saw uncle john with long tall sally.
He saw aunt Mary cummin and he ducked back in the alley.
Oh baby,
Ye-e-e-eh baby,
Woo-o-o-oh baby,
Havin me some fun tonight.
Were gonna have some fun tonight,
Gonna have some fun tonight.
Were gonna have some fun tonight,
Everything will be alright.
Were gonna have some fun,
Gonna have some fun tonight.
Were gonna have some fun tonight,
Gonna have some fun tonight.
Were gonna have some fun tonight,
Everything will be alright.
Were gonna have some fun,

The Scorpions' version of Long Tall Sally is a fun, upbeat song that talks about having a good time with friends and loved ones. The lyrics are playful and silly, with the singer talking about how he's going to tell Aunt Mary about Uncle John, who "has the blues but has a lot of fun." The song encourages listeners to enjoy life and have fun, with the repetition of "havin' me some fun tonight" throughout the chorus.
The song also mentions a woman named Long Tall Sally, who the singer says "has a lot on the ball" and who nobody cares is "long and tall." This suggests that Long Tall Sally is confident and successful, despite potentially being different from others. Later in the song, Uncle John is seen with Long Tall Sally, but he ducks back into an alley when he sees Aunt Mary coming. This adds a bit of mischief to the lyrics and reinforces the idea of having fun and not taking life too seriously.
Overall, Long Tall Sally is a catchy song that encourages listeners to have a good time and not worry about what others think. It's a great example of the fun, lighthearted rock and roll music from the 1950s and 60s.
