Heatseeker

AC/DC

(Oooh, we're gettin' ready
Ow
Here we go
hahaha
I'm ready
Oooh)

Getting ready to rock
Getting ready to roll
I'm gonna turn up the heat
I'm gonna fire up the coal
I gotta keep that motor turning
I gotta keep that engine clean
I gotta keep those tires burning
I've got the best you've ever seen

And I'm a heatseeker charging up the sky
And I'm a heatseeker, and I, I don't need no life preserver
I don't need no one to hose me down
To hose me down

Getting ready to break
Getting ready to go
Get your shoes off and shake
Get your head down and blow
You gotta keep that woman firing
You gotta keep that serpent clean
You gotta make her sound the siren
You gotta hear that lady scream

Cause I'm a heatseeker, burning up the town
And I'm a heatseeker, I don't, I don't need no life preserver
I don't need no one to hose me down
Don't hose me down

(Aw yeah, here ya go, yow! Ready? Heatseeker!)

I want to see you get up
And see the whites of your eyes
And I'm a heatseeker, heatseeker, yeah!
I'm gonna measure you up
I'm gonna try you for size
And I'm a heatseeker
Gotta keep that motor turning
You gotta keep that engine clean
You gotta keep those tires burning
I've got the best you've ever seen

And I'm a heatseeker, and I don't need no life preserver
I don't need no one to hose me down, woah
I'm a heatseeker
And I'm a heatseeker
Heatseeker

Out on the street feel the heat

    This is a song came out in the 80s in the middle of the AIDS epidemic. It's all about how to have safe sex.

    "I gotta keep that engine clean"

    "I gotta keep those tyres burning" - tyres are made of RUBBER!

    "I don't need no one to hose me down" - I keep clean, I don't let anyone's hose go near me (no gay sex). My partners don't use douches because that doesn't protect you.

    "I don't need no life preserver" - I don't need a condom because I have my partner perform oral sex ("Get your head down and blow") which is safer. Not sure if that's true though.

    "You gotta keep that serpent clean".

    See? Another deep and meaningful song lyric from the crayons of Brian Johnson.

    Song Comparison

    Is it my idea or the intro to this song is a parody of "Don't Dream, It's Over" by Crowded House?

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
