Rock You Like A Hurricane
Scorpions Johannes Strate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Last night was shaking and pretty loud
My cat is purring and scratches my skin
So what is wrong with another sin?
The bitch is hungry she needs to tell
So give her inches and feed her well
More days to come, new places to go
My body is burning, it starts to shout
Desire's coming, it breaks out loud
Lust is in cages, till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it with someone I choose
The night is calling, I have to go
The wolf is hungry, he runs the show
He's licking his lips, he′s ready to win
On the hunt tonight for (love at first sting) love at first sting
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane (oh, let me hear with this, c′mon)
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Rock you like a hurricane
It's early morning, the sun comes out
Last night was shaking and pretty loud
My cat is purring and scratches my skin
So what is wrong with another sin?
The night is calling, I have to go
The wolf is hungry, he runs the show
He′s licking his lips, he's ready to win
On the hunt tonight for (love at first sting) love at first sting
(C,mon, c′mon, c'mon,c′mon)
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
(C,mon, c'mon, c'mon,c′mon)
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am

The lyrics to Scorpions’ song "Rock You Like a Hurricane" tell the story of a man who wakes up after a wild night and is ready to let loose yet again, seeking to satisfy his desires and lust. The opening lines indicate that the night before was wild and noisy, and that the singer's cat is now purring and scratching him, suggesting a desire for another round of excitement. The lyrics continue with the man describing his current state, noting that his body is burning with desire and that he needs to satisfy his needs. He then introduces the metaphor of a wolf to express his carnal hunger, and the lyrics build towards a climax in which he declares his intention to rock the listener like a hurricane.
Strate's interpretation of the lyrics suggests that the song is a celebration of hedonism and an expression of the desire to break free from the monotony of everyday life. By using the metaphor of the wolf to describe his own hunger, the singer asserts his own power and delivers an implicit challenge to anyone who would try to stand in his way. The song ultimately celebrates the idea of living life to the fullest, taking every opportunity to indulge one's desires and passions.

Dude the original singer just completely drowns out the other guys voice, what power.
@vinaymulukutla358
It must be something extraordinary to see an exceptional band like the Scorpions take one of their signature classic heavy metal hits and still able to make it intense, crushing and dramatic in every sense without a single distorted guitar plugged in. Now this is what I call Acoustic Metal. Wish I could have seen this live.

Amazing thought 😊😊
@vinaymulukutla358
@@chandrasekharan9724 Thanks man. I'm amazed that this comment got as many likes as it did and inspired people like you. Another thing I liked was the moment when the little girl sitting on presumably her father's shoulders and rocking out while Mathias was doing his solo. I've been to several classic rock and metal shows over the last 20 years and saw quite a few young children at them absolutely enjoying the music and singing along. They must have gotten into it because their parents were rockers themselves.
It reminded me of when I discovered hard rock and metal (was around 8) over 30 years ago and it gives me hope that these kids will be the next generation keeping rock and metal alive.

When Klaus kicked in with his voice I said "Yes! This is why he's the man!" He should have a special permit to walk around with a voice like that! It's a weapon!!!!
