Story Behind The Song
Originally written about the "Turner" in Bachman-Turner Overdrive; the song was called "Get into Overdrive"
I changed it to give it a more universal appeal.

Lyrics
Who has the biggest mouth
Who has the voice that fills the arena
Who knows the biggest words
Who has the brain encyclopedia
Who's songs are everywhere
Radios's and karaoke machina's
Who needs a microphone
Who shakes the walls even when she chatters
Who has perfect pitch
Protect your eyes 'cause the glass will shatter
Who is a millionaire
Rags to riches no longer in tatters
Chorus:
She'll make you feel alive
You gotta come and listen
She'll make you feel alive
She's on a sonic mission
She'll make you feel alive
Is your heart in good condition?
She'll make you feel alive
She'll make you feel alive
Who knows the meanest licks
Who plays the big black Rickenbacker
Who writes the rocking tunes
Putting to shame all these rock and roll hackers
Who gives a killer show
Happy returns to financial backers
Who stays on the top
Fans and groupies are always clinging
Who is responsible
Who is the one who found her singing
I can't get enough
Even though my ears won't stop ringing
