Yet for some reason The Boys occupy a neglected position in relation to London's early Punk scene, probably because they weren't clothed by Sex or managed by Malcolm McLaren. Being tagged the "Punk Beatles" couldn't have helped either, and by '81 they called it quits.
Plagued by mishaps, bad timing and plain bad luck they managed to keep smiling and come up with corking, hyper-speed pop classics like "Brickfield Nights" and "Rue Morgue". In short The Boys were a gem of a band and a total inspiration to any Punk band who value tunes over noise.
There are others artists with the same name:
2) Jheryl Busby signed the Abdulsamad Brothers, better known as the Boys, while employed at MCA Records. "The Boys" Khiry (born November 8, 1973), Tajh (born December 10, 1976), Hakim (born March 27, 1975), and Bilal Abdulsamad (born April 17, 1978) started singing in their hometown of Carson, CA, when Bilal was five and Khiry nine. They are best known for their 1988 hit single "Dial My Heart". Today, they live in Gambia on the West Coast of Africa
3) The Boys. Australia (1980), Made "When You're Lonely" 7" a nice new wave/power pop single.
4) The Boys were a Lincoln, Nebraska band power pop group. They put out three singles including "She's All Mine" (1975) and "You Make Me Shake" (1977).
5) The Boys was a powerpop group from Sweden.
6) The Boys is also an all-girl grunge band from Brisbane, Australia. Currently unsigned, they released a self-titled 3-song EP demo (September, 2012).
Lucky Charm
The Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems I can do no wrong
It's the way that I feel when I'm with you
Your love makes me feel so strong
With you in my life it makes the world seen right
And one little kiss can make a dark day bright
Don't know what you do to make me feel so well
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
My lucky charm
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
My lucky charm
She's my lucky charm
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
My lucky charm
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
My lucky charm
Out on the street, friends are sayin'
They see what a change you've made in me
And they wonder why there's a smile on my face
They're gonna be in love one day, they'll see
With you liftin' me, I'm walking on air
And when you hold my hand I don't ever care
Don't need a four leaf clover or a lucky penny
I only need to know you'll be there for me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
My lucky charm
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
My lucky charm
She's my lucky charm
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
My lucky charm
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
My lucky charm
Well... my girl's the best, she gives me luck
When I'm feelin' down she cheers me up
When I see her my feelings rise
Ooh, girl, you hypnotize
Twinkle, twinkle little star
Lucky is what you are
With long dark hair and big brown eyes
She's like a leprechaun in disguise
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
My lucky charm
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
My lucky charm
She's my lucky charm
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
My lucky charm
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
My lucky charm
Don't need a four leaf clover or a lucky penny
I only need to know you'll be there for me
Don't know what you do to make me feel so well
You must be an angel with a magic spell
She's mine, mine all mine
She's mine, mine all mine
Don't need a four leaf clover or a lucky penny
I only need to know you'll be there for me
Don't know what you do to make me feel so well
You must be an angel with a magic spell
The Boys' song, "Lucky Charm," is an ode to the power of love and the influence a significant other can have on a person's life. The lyrics describe the transformative effect that being in a relationship has had on the singer's life. With his partner by his side, everything feels right, and even the toughest of days brighten up with one little kiss.
The singer in the song is in awe of his partner and describes her as his lucky charm. He marvels at the fact that she can turn his mood around with ease and that he doesn't need anything else like a four-leaf clover or a lucky penny; he only needs to know that she's there for him. The way she makes him feel is indescribable, and the only explanation he can muster is that she must be an angel with a magic spell.
The power of love is such that it can change a person's outlook on life and bring joy and happiness into their world. The Boys' song is a testament to this notion and a celebration of the positive effect a loving partner can have on someone's life.

This makes me wanna cry. Me and my 2 two cousins would get up early Saturday morning and do these dance steps in the driveway. Saying "this was such a good time" is an understatement. This album and this moment had the magic to actually MAKE you have a great childhood... and if you experienced it, you're a better person because of it. Nothing but love for the Boys, Babyface, and the 80's!!! LOVE
@TheReneex
Hakeem and Tahj were always killing those steps!
@billyb4665
My elementary school talent show dance partner asked me if I could do some of Hakeem's footwork, here, so we could add it to our routine, and I couldn't do it to save my own life. Dem boy's good. Lol
