GO GO GO
The Teen Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna get some real gone love
That'll drive a cool cat wild
I'm gonna move, rollin' right on down
Gonna get me a gal that'll go out on the town
Well you move on down the line
I'm gonna get me a gal that'll make some time
She can't be square, she can't be slow
Well I'm gonna show you ain't so hot
I'm gonna get what you ain't got
She'll be sweet, won't do me wrong
She'll be cool and twice as gone
You gotta roll, move it right on down
Gonna get me a gal that'll go out on the town
Well you move on down the line
I'm gonna get me a gal that'll make some time
She can't be square, she can't be slow
'Cause when we start struttin', gotta go-go-go
The Teen Kings's song Go! Go! Go! is a classic fast-paced rock and roll track that captures the excitement of youthful rebellion and the desire for more thrilling experiences. The lyrics are full of energy and swagger, as the singer sings about his determination to find "real gone love" that will satisfy his need for excitement and adventure. The opening lines make it clear that the current object of his affections is not up to his standards: "Well you can't be my lovin' baby, you ain't got the style." He then declares his intention to find a partner who can keep up with his needs, someone who is not "square," and who can dance with him as he struts his stuff. The refrain "gotta go-go-go" reinforces the sense of urgency and excitement expressed in the verses.
The song is typical of its genre in that its primary concern is the thrill of the moment rather than any deeper emotions or concerns. Its popularity can be attributed to its catchy beat and infectious chorus, which encourage listeners to dance and sing along. Musically, the song is characterized by a driving rhythm section and some catchy lead guitar work. The style is typical of early rock and roll, with obvious influences from blues and country music.
