Something In The Air Lyrics
Call out the instigators
Because there ¡s something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution is here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now
Lock up the streets and houses
Because there ¡s something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution ¡s here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now
Hand out the arms and ammo
We're going to blast our way through here
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution ¡s here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together
Now
Because there ¡s something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution is here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together now
Because there ¡s something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution ¡s here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together now
We're going to blast our way through here
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution ¡s here, and you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together

classicrockgirl: Too bad Pete Townshend wasn't in the band. It was a band from England that consisted of Andy Newman (Keyboards), John "Speedy" Keene (Vocals, Drums), and Jimmy McCulloch (Guitars). McCulloch went on to be a guitarist for Paul McCartney's Wings in the mid-70s. McCulloch was only 16 years old when playing the guitar on this song. Pretty impressive!
This song is from the movie "The Magic Christian" starring Peter Sellers, which starred Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr.
@richie Yes he is Pete is playing Bass and produced he used a mystery name "Bijou Drains" yep that is Pete

By the way, it starred Peter Sellers. Just in case you didn't know it! lol Sorry about that repeat.
Another thing, "The Magic Christian" was released in 1969.
I envision the accident at Kent State everytime I hear this song.
I first heard this song in almost famous when they were all singing it in the hotel. That isn't the only reason i happened to like this song though, the song itself is an excellent one. I like the message being sent in it also.
unless this is a cover...this is tom petty.

I think you'll find this is one of the greatest songs ever written. And magnifiko, given that this song was released in 1969/70 its more likely Tom Petty did a cover of it, although, having said that, i've never yet heard it in any of his work.
To me - this song captures the rebellion and awakening of youth which emerged during the early sixties late seventies... i love it
it was pete townshend's side project... :O tom petty covered it.
this song was released in 1969 off of the album Hollywood Dreams, Petty's version in 1993 off of Tom Petty's Greatest Hits album.
The song was in the early '70's student protest movie "The Strawberry Statement" (and "Almost Famous"). A song about violent revolution ala "Street Fighting Man".
