2 The Blizzards is 60's garage beat band from Stade, Germany. Their music were pretty close to early Kinks and they had an astonishing potential of original songs. They also covered on a later single Het's "Ik Heb Geen Zin Om Op Te Staan".
They appeared during the 1962-69 German beat wave season. In the course of a STAR-CLUB-competition, Sigi E. Loch, promoter and producer of musical talents has discovered and helped them to acend to a most significant show career. As a German beat group, the band produced radio and television performances, performed as accompanying band (e.g. for Davy Jones, Tony Cavanaugh, Drafi Deutscher and Howard Carpendale) completed on tour performances and produced several singles as well as, one LP. In the special character of the band, creation of personal compositions is distinctive (for example, on the LP), with lyrics in German, the vocals in polyphonic harmony, by their rounded-up intonation oriented to the sound of the Beatles and the Hollies. They split in 1969. Since 1983 the re-organized Blizzards performed on tour (e.g. with Johnny and the Hurricanes from the USA) and in TV shows, but made no more recordings.

The Blizzards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm drooling at the mouth
I open up my gob and then nothing comes out
HEY
I've got a new car (oh oh oh oh)
Lets go for a ride
You know i'm not very skilled at the art of seduction
You could stamp it on my forehead and I still wouldnt catch on
You know you are my fantasy
You make me really tingly
And I want to be want to be
I want to be your fantasy
You know I can be sexy when I want to be want to be
The temperature is rising (rising, rising)
But you're as cold as ice
I said, I'll stalk you at night (oh oh oh oh)
If you put up a fight
You know my girlfriend, she doesn't know a thing
Pure ignorance is such a beautiful thing
You put on this voice like I had a choice
You know, you know, You are my fantasy....
YOU ARE MY FANTASEEEEE
So I give this a go HEY HEY
So I give this a go HEY. So give this a go HEY HEY
So give this a go... La la la la la la oooh oooh la la la la la la oooh oooh
You are my fantasy...
You fill my dreams up at night
These sordid thoughts just ain't right
I love the girl that I'm with I which I find hard to admit
You cant speak english I know, so I will talk nice and slow so we can figure this out before we give this a go
The clothes you wear they don't fit
The local girls they feel sick cause their boys have their eye on this foreign delight
From all these pointless refrains I guess that all that remains for me to push how I feel and make this fantasy real
I've got a pain in my head to think of things that I've said to get your hormones on fire for burning want and desire
Unanswered actions of men, these injured egos give in to find another release and pornographic disease
The lyrics to The Blizzards' song "Fantasy" are an energetic and playful exploration of desire and attraction. The singer is overwhelmed by their infatuation with someone, describing their physical reactions ("trembling at the knees" and "drooling at the mouth") and their lack of success in expressing themselves ("I open up my gob and then nothing comes out"). Despite their fumbling attempts, they're hopelessly enamored with this person, insisting "You know you are my fantasy."
The singer's obsession is clear, but they acknowledge that it's not entirely healthy. They admit to having "sordid thoughts" about their object of desire, and feeling conflicted about their current partner. They oscillate between wanting to pursue this person ("So I give this a go") and recognizing that their attraction is based solely on physical appearances ("The clothes you wear they don't fit").
Overall, the lyrics to "Fantasy" capture the thrill and uncertainty of being drawn intensely to someone new, while also poking fun at the awkwardness that can come with trying to express those feelings.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm trembling at the knees
I'm nervously shaking with fear
I'm drooling at the mouth
I'm salivating with anticipation
I open up my gob and then nothing comes out
I try to speak but I'm too nervous to form words
HEY
Exclamation of excitement
I've got a new car (oh oh oh oh)
I have a new car and I'm excited about it
Lets go for a ride
Let's take a drive together
You know i'm not very skilled at the art of seduction
I'm not good at flirting or seducing people
You could stamp it on my forehead and I still wouldnt catch on
I'm so clueless about romance that even if you told me directly, I wouldn't understand
Why can't you see (oh oh oh oh) what you're doing to me
Can't you tell how much you're affecting me?
You know you are my fantasy
You are the person I romanticize and dream about
You make me really tingly
You give me a strong physical reaction
And I want to be want to be
I wish to be with you
I want to be your fantasy
I want to be the object of your romantic dreams
You know I can be sexy when I want to be want to be
I can be attractive and alluring when I try
The temperature is rising (rising, rising)
Things are getting intense
But you're as cold as ice
You're not reciprocating my feelings
I said, I'll stalk you at night (oh oh oh oh)
I'm saying this half-jokingly, but I'm still determined to pursue you
If you put up a fight
If you resist or reject me
You know my girlfriend, she doesn't know a thing
I have a girlfriend, but I'm keeping my attraction for you a secret
Pure ignorance is such a beautiful thing
It's nice to be free of the complications of honesty and responsibility
You put on this voice like I had a choice
You act as if I have control over my feelings for you, but I don't
You know, you know, You are my fantasy....
I can't stop thinking about you in a romantic way
YOU ARE MY FANTASEEEEE
You are the person who dominates my fantasies
So I give this a go HEY HEY
I'm taking a chance
So give this a go HEY. So give this a go HEY HEY
Let's take a chance together
So give this a go... La la la la la la oooh oooh la la la la la la oooh oooh
Let's see where this goes
You are my fantasy...
I'm obsessed with the idea of you
You fill my dreams up at night
You're the subject of all my dreams
These sordid thoughts just ain't right
I feel guilty for having such dirty fantasies
I love the girl that I'm with I which I find hard to admit
I have conflicting emotions because I care about my girlfriend
You cant speak english I know, so I will talk nice and slow so we can figure this out before we give this a go
I know you don't speak English well, so I'll try to communicate carefully so we can understand each other before we pursue a relationship
The clothes you wear they don't fit
Your clothes don't fit the local style or norms
The local girls they feel sick cause their boys have their eye on this foreign delight
The local women are jealous of your exotic appeal
From all these pointless refrains I guess that all that remains for me to push how I feel and make this fantasy real
Despite everything that's holding us back, I'm still determined to pursue you and make our relationship a reality
I've got a pain in my head to think of things that I've said to get your hormones on fire for burning want and desire
I'm worried that I may have said the wrong things to make you attracted to me, but I still crave your passion
Unanswered actions of men, these injured egos give in to find another release and pornographic disease
When men don't get what they want, they often turn to unhealthy or inappropriate methods to cope with their emotions
