love at first sight
The Busters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The moon was so bright the night we met
Your heels were so high, your lips were so wet
You smelt like a buffalo cow in heat
You were a hungry cat looking for some meat

Love at first sight
Magic moments
Love at first sight
Under the moon
Love at first sight
Bells are ringing
Love at first sight
Love at first sight

You pierced my brain with laser eyes
Lasciviously you ate your French fries
Your plastic shirt showed more than it covered
Why me, not one of the others?

Love at first sight
Magic moments
Love at first sight
Under the moon
Love at first sight
Bells are ringing
Love at first sight
Love at first sight

You pointed your finger at me like a gun
You said "Come on babe, I wanna have some fun"
You dragged me into your car, chained me to your bed
Your fingernails ripped up my lazy bag

Love at first sight
Magic moments
Love at first sight
Under the moon
Love at first sight
Bells are ringing
Love at first sight
Love at first sight

You slapped my face again and again
Then you kicked me out with some money in my hand

Love at first sight
Magic moments
Love at first sight
Under the moon
Love at first sight
Bells are ringing




Love at first sight
Love at first sight

Overall Meaning

The Busters's song Love At First Sight is a satirical take on the concept of love at first sight. The lyrics describe a chance encounter with a woman who is depicted as crass and sexually aggressive. The singer is initially drawn to her physical appearance, with her high heels, wet lips and provocative scent. However, as the song progresses it becomes apparent that the woman is not interested in genuine emotional connection. Rather, she objectifies the singer, using him for her own pleasure before discarding him with little regard.


The lyrics are written in a humorous and irreverent style, with exaggerated descriptions of the woman's appearance and behavior. The use of animalistic imagery, such as comparing her scent to that of a buffalo cow in heat, serves to further emphasize her lack of refinement. The chorus of the song, which repeats the phrase "love at first sight", is a mocking nod to the romantic notion of instant attraction and infatuation.


Overall, The Busters's Love At First Sight can be seen as a commentary on societal expectations around love and relationships. It highlights the dangers of prioritizing physical attraction over emotional connection, and the ways in which some people use others for their own gratification. Through its exaggerated and satirical tone, the song encourages listeners to question their own attitudes towards love and to seek out deeper, more meaningful connections.
