A True Inspiration. I Admit, This Man Is Officially My Hero.

How can you not love this guy?

He does that spin move at :36 and his moves all throughout the video are among the height of 80s "coolness".

This guy is a walking party, and a babe magnet! He's just oozing mojo, a mojo reminiscent of Austin Powers in terms of how irresistible he is to women.

A shameless, almost whimsically optimistic mojo that doesn't walk on eggshells or apologize for existing, a mojo needed today in these uncertain times...

So I've decided I'm gonna practice his moves and study the art of his seduction...



...in order to save the planet. 😎





Lyrics

Rosanna's daddy had a car she loved to drive
Stole the keys one night and took me for a ride
Turned up the music just as loud as it could go
Blew out the speakers in her daddy's radio

She was shakin' (oh oh ooo oh)
Snappin' her fingers (oh oh ooo oh)
She was movin' round and round (oh oh ooo oh)
That girl was shakin' (oh oh ooo oh)

We started drinkin' wasn't thinkin' too straight
She was doin' 80 and she slammed on the brakes
Got so high we had to pull to the side
We did some shakin' 'til the middle of the night

Shakin' (oh oh ooo oh)
Snappin' her fingers (oh oh ooo oh)
She was up and down and round and round
Shakin' (oh oh ooo oh)
Shakin' (oh oh ooo oh) (oh oh ooo oh)
(oh oh ooo oh) (oh oh ooo oh)

Rosanna's daddy had a car she loved to drive
Stole the keys one night and took me for a ride
Turned up the music just as loud as it could go
Blew out the speakers in her daddy's radio

She was shakin' (oh oh ooo oh)
Snappin' her fingers (oh oh ooo oh)
She was movin' round and round (oh oh ooo oh)
That girl was shakin' (oh oh ooo oh)

We started drinkin' wasn't thinkin' too straight
She was doin' 80 and she slammed on the brakes
Got so high we had to pull to the side
We did some shakin' 'til the middle of the night

Shakin' (oh oh ooo oh)
Snappin' her fingers (oh oh ooo oh)
She was up and down and round and round
Shakin' (oh oh ooo oh)
Shakin' (oh oh ooo oh) (oh oh ooo oh)
(oh oh ooo oh) (oh oh ooo oh)

I got a little nervous
When she took her coat off
She looked so pretty
Ahh yeah

I'm always talkin' baby talkin' too much
I love that little girl and I just can't get enough
It takes a lonely night with nowhere to go
Just call Rosanna, it's a hell of a show

And she's shakin' (oh oh ooo oh)
Snappin' her fingers (oh oh ooo oh)
She'll be movin' round and round (oh oh ooo oh)
Oh she's shakin' (oh oh ooo oh)

Shakin' (oh oh ooo oh)
Snappin' her fingers (oh oh ooo oh)
She'll be movin' up and down (oh oh oo oh)
Round and round and round (oh oh ooo oh)
And shakin' (oh oh ooo oh)

Sha sha sha sha sha she was shakin'
Sha sha sha sha sha she was shakin'
Sha sha sha sha sha she was shakin'
Sha sha sha sha sha she was shakin'


END OF LYRICS

Great song! Nothing about killing hoes of busten caps!

That was three minutes of my life well spent.

I'm a child of the 70s and early 80s, but this music slipped past me. Back in the day I was a die-hard country fan. Still am - for real country, that is, not the #e coming out of Nashville now - but my tastes are much more eclectic than they once were.

Thanks.

Edward Mahoney did okay for an ex-cop.

I miss the old MTV. Seen Eddie in concert years ago, pretty good show and sounded great.
