Headknocker Lyrics
He drives a ’57 coupe
Walks with a stoop
Swears james dean isn’t dead
He’s a dedicated rocker
A real headknocker
Don’t look at his lady again
’cause if he catches you messin’
He’s gonna teach you a lesson
Don’t let me say it again
Headknocker, headknocker
Comin’ on strong, a real showstopper
Headknocker
He might like to fight, oh but boy does he love to play
Ooh, headknocker, headknocker
Ooh, headknocker
He’s got an old fender strat
Plays behind his back
While he sings out louie, louie
He’s a backseat mauler
A barroom brawler
I think he’s gonna blacken your eye
If that don’t teach you a lesson
Might show you his smith & wesson
Don’t let me say it again
Walks with a stoop
Swears james dean isn’t dead
He’s a dedicated rocker
A real headknocker
Don’t look at his lady again
’cause if he catches you messin’
He’s gonna teach you a lesson
Don’t let me say it again
Comin’ on strong, a real showstopper
Headknocker
Ooh, headknocker, headknocker
Ooh, headknocker
Plays behind his back
While he sings out louie, louie
He’s a backseat mauler
A barroom brawler
I think he’s gonna blacken your eye
If that don’t teach you a lesson
Might show you his smith & wesson
Don’t let me say it again

This has always been my favorite 'bad-ass' song. When I mention it to others, usually, they've never heard it.
@raymon1130 Yeah man, I was pretty young but I remember when Foreigner was freakin’ HUGE, and while I’m not comparing the two, foreigner’s first lp makes me think of The Cars’ first album, which, even back when it was pretty new, had so many great songs it was like a Greatest Hits album… and Headknocker is a huge reason for that! (Starrrider is pretty great too)
