enjoy yourself
The Busters Lyrics

The Busters's song, "Enjoy Yourself" emphasizes the importance of living life to the fullest and enjoying it while we can, as time goes by quickly. The opening lines suggest that it is important to be wise in our younger years, as youth is fleeting. However, the lyrics then encourage listeners to let loose, have fun and truly live life without reservation. Living life fully and joyfully is an underlying theme for the song, which encourages listeners to not be weighed down by the pressures and expectations of life but instead to dance, laugh, and embrace every moment of life. Possibly, the second verse's lyrics "get wisdom, get knowledge and understanding" suggest that life is not only about having fun but also about self-improvement and learning.

One interesting fact about the song is that it was originally composed by Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians in 1949. The song was later covered by a variety of other artists, including The Busters, who created a ska/punk inspired version in 1989. The song has been used in numerous movies and TV shows, including the popular sitcom The Mindy Project. It is considered a classic party song in many countries, especially in Germany, where The Busters come from.

Additionally, the song has been translated into multiple languages, including German, Spanish, Japanese, and Swedish. In 2019, The Busters released a new version of the song, featuring reggae artist Gentleman, to commemorate their 32nd anniversary. The song has been used in Coca-Cola's advertising campaign and was once used as a jingle for a Canadian beer company.
