Bennie And The Jets
Electric Eccentricity: Bennie and the Jets Unveiled
Lyrics
Hey, kids, shake it loose together
Invitation to dance and have a good time together
The spotlight's hitting something
The focus is on something noteworthy
That's been known to change the weather
Suggesting a powerful influence that can alter the atmosphere
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
Celebratory atmosphere, symbolized by biblical reference to the prodigal son
So stick around
Encouragement to stay and enjoy the upcoming event
You're gonna hear electric music
Promise of lively, electrifying music
Solid walls of sound
Anticipation of a powerful and immersive musical experience
Say, Candy and Ronnie. Have you seen them yet?
Reference to two individuals, Candy and Ronnie
Ooh, but they're so spaced out
Describing them as being in a euphoric, altered state
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Introduction of the titular character, Bennie, and her band
Oh, but they're weird and they're wonderful
Portrayal of Bennie and her band as both strange and amazing
Oh, Bennie. She's really keen
Praising Bennie's enthusiasm and passion
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit
Describing Bennie's distinctive style with electric boots and a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine, oh
Reference to learning about Bennie in a magazine
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Reiteration of Bennie and the band's name
Hey, kids, plug into the faithless
Encouragement to connect with a rebellious, non-conformist attitude
Maybe they're blinded
Suggesting that Bennie's influence transcends aging
But Bennie makes them ageless
Expressing resilience and determination to survive
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Invitation to join a journey where societal norms are challenged
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
Depiction of generational conflict played out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong
Search for truth in the midst of conflicting opinions
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet?
Repetition of Candy and Ronnie, emphasizing their significance
Ooh, but they're so spaced out
Reiteration of Candy and Ronnie's spaced-out state
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Reintroduction of Bennie and the band
Oh, but they're weird and they're wonderful
Reiteration of the band's unique and wonderful qualities
Oh, Bennie. She's really keen
Reaffirmation of Bennie's passion and enthusiasm
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit
Restatement of Bennie's distinctive style
You know I read it in a magazine
Confirmation of learning about Bennie in a magazine
Take it to the birdge
Transition to a bridge section of the song
Oh, Candy and Ronnie. Have you seen them yet?
Repetition of Candy and Ronnie, reinforcing their significance
Ooh, but they're so spaced out
Reiteration of Candy and Ronnie's spaced-out state
B-B-B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Reintroduction and extended repetition of Bennie and the band
Oh, but they're weird and they're wonderful
Reiteration of the band's unique and wonderful qualities
Oh, Bennie. She's really keen
Reaffirmation of Bennie's passion and enthusiasm
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit
Restatement of Bennie's distinctive style
You know I read it in a magazine
Confirmation of learning about Bennie in a magazine
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Reiteration of Bennie and the band's name
Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Repetition and variation of Bennie and the Jets, building musical intensity
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
-Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
-Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
-Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets, the Jets, the Jets
