I just found out
It's been too long now
The word is out
Time before didn't they take us hook and punker?
Their jive alive lines
They were funk
They were hijinx, hijinx, hijinx tonight
We all know better but we just might

Pullin' this off it's gonna take some
Big time schemin'
A fast tap dance, our feet'll be steamin'
Hijinx, hijinx, hijinx, alright
Hi, hi, hijinx, yeah, yeah

You never know, behind the lines
Who's gonna show
Scandal high's been buzzin' through the mayhem
Tonight the word, we heard is
It might be them
They were hijinx, hijinx, hijinx tonight
They all know better, but we just might

Pullin this off, it's gonna take some
Big time schemin'
A fast tap dance, our feet'll be steamin'

Hijinx, hijinx, hijinx, alright
Hi, hi, hijinx yeah, yeah
Who's who?
Who's who?
Hi, hi, hijinx, yeah, yeah, yeah
Who's who?
Who's who?

Heart, lead by Ann and Nancy Wilson, is considered a — or the — Grand Dame of hard rock and heavy metal.

Not only do they have more hit singles and AOR tracks than most other bands (songs we’d go over in detail but they’re listed on this very page in order of popularity) but in some ways deeper respect than many, both for their own groundbreaking talent and appeal and some unusual recognition thereof, including having been picked to perform Stairway to Heaven for Led Zeppelin themselves at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012, making Robert Plant and company actually cry. Not Rush, not Aerosmith, nor any of the other bands beloved rock/metal that — along with Ann and Nancy’s band — followed Zeppelin by one generation. Just Heart.

Starting in the mid seventies, Heart forged a unique and powerful sound outstanding in their field, and was unusual in topping the charts well into their own second decade in the late eighties, becoming a staple of MTV’s rotation, albeit sometimes crammed by the industry into music videos that the bandmates despised and comment on to this day.
