Hey everybody it's music time!

"Now, you can't expect to figure out how to be cool looking in catalogs so forget about it!
You've gotta do it the old fashioned way... fake it!"
Yeah
"Play your drum, boys!"

I like music
The rhythm really gets to me
I can't control it
My feet move automatically
And I like hot licks
The kind I wish that I could play
And when I hear them
I crank the volume all the way

Turn it on
Turn it up
Turn it loud
All the way

I like strangers
Their kindness means a lot to me
They don't ask questions
Don't care about my history
And I like fast girls
I don't know what's come over me
They make me do things
I would not ordinarily

Turn me on
Turn me up
Turn me loose
All the way

Hear it
Feel it
Like it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Want it
Need it
Love it
Can't get enough of it
Try it
Do it
Go ahead and go for it
All the way

And I like daydreams
I've had enough reality
My job is boring
I'm overworked and underpaid
I like TV
It stirs up all my fantasies
Girls in tight jeans
Acting so outrageously

Turn me on
Turn me up
Turn me loose
All the way

Hear it
Feel it
Like it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Want it
Need it
Love it
Can't get enough of it
Try it
Do it
Go ahead and go for it
All the way
Turn it loose, loose

[Guitar Solo]

I like big things
The size of them impresses me
Just give me plenty
Forget about the quality
And I like fast food
The burgers always taste the same
No snotty waiters
Escargot or Beaujolais

Turn me on
Turn me up
Turn me loose
Turn it loud
All the way

Hear it (I hear it)
Feel it (I feel it)
Like it (I like it)
I do it, do it, do it, do it
Want it (I want it)
Need it (I need it)
Love it (I love it)
I can't get enough of it
Hear it (I hear it)
Feel it (I feel it)
Like it (I like it)
I do it, do it, do it, do it
Try it
Do it
Go ahead and bank on it
All the way
Way-ay -ay way

Yeah!
Turn it on
Turn it up
Turn it loose
Turn it loud (hey everybody it's music time)
Turn it on
Turn it up (hey everybody it's music time)
Turn it loose
Turn it loud (hey everybody it's music time)
Turn it on
Turn it up (hey everybody it's music time)
Turn it loose
Turn it loud (hey everybody it's music time)
Turn it on
Turn it up (hey everybody it's music time)
Turn it loose
Turn it loud (hey everybody it's music time)
Turn it on
Turn it up (hey everybody it's music time)
Turn it loose
Turn it loud (hey everybody it's music time)
Hey everybody it's music time!
Hey everybody it's music time!
Hey everybody it's music time!

Styx

Styx is a rock band from Chicago formed in 1970. They enjoyed great success with pop rock and hard rock songs, and became famous for their power ballads and album releases of the mid 1970s and early 80s.

The band has gone through some famously nasty internal struggles, drug problems, illnesses and deaths, but continues to perform today (with a significantly altered line-up). Tommy Shaw, from Montgomery, AL, left but returned to the band. Drummer John Panozzo developed a debilitating drinking problem and ultimately died. Dennis DeYoung developed an acute case of photosensitivity, and he left the band. They fought among themselves for control of the band name. Glen Burtnik also left and returned, this time on bass, to replace Chuck Panozzo (John’s brother), who had also left the band. (whew.)
