I had completely forgotten about this song by Loverboy, and now all I can do is giggle. I seem to remember the chorus but hadn't paid much attention to the lyrics, which is often the case when I think about songs from the 80s. Often times, the chorus is so catchy - and it's all you remember. That's okay with this song, because the chorus really says it all. I took a look at the lyrics, and there are a couple of references to motors starting and rockets launching, so you get the picture. All in all, it's a fun song. Definitely kicks into overdrive and gets you going.
The video is most certainly a snapshot of the 80s in all its glory. Can you believe there is a telephone ringing in this video? A corded telephone, nonetheless. Wow. It seems like a million years ago that we were talking on telephones with cords - and even a real bell inside the phone. Anyone notice that the buttons actually made different pitches when you pushed them? I think that was the ultimate "cool" factor for those phones in the eyes of band geeks such as myself.
So, "Lovin' Every Minute of It" is really a fun tune that you can crank up when you are feeling like having a good laugh or just feeling kind of silly - or raunchy. Obviously, the lyrics have some funny metaphors, but there is no deep or hidden meaning. They were just lovin' every minute of writing this. I enjoy Loverboy's music, and this tune was a pleasant surprise from the time capsule. I have to say that "Working for the Weekend" is not only my favorite Loverboy song, but one of my favorite songs in general. I'm throwing the video into this post as well because I can't resist. "You want a piece of my heart? You better start from the start? You wanna be in the show? Come on baby, let's go!!!!"
