Story Behind The Song
I got the riff at the start, did a few little modulation-y things and, voila, a rock track that won't make you cringe when they play it after the Talking HEads or The Beach Boys.

Lyrics
Goin' Where The Action Is
(Chorus)
Goin' where the action is
Goin' where the action is
Goin' where the action is (we're goin')
Goin' where the action is (yea)
I got me sunshine
When the skies are grey
I got me two kindsa lovin'
Both night and day (oh, yeah)
Brothers, sisters
All across the nations
All come along
Join the celebrations
Shake these blues
Before we lose much more
(Pre-Chorus)
He was the Spider Messiah in Lucifer's Garden
Elephant God with insect eyes is cryin'
From his tombstone pulpit
Lie-ie-ie-ies
(Chorus)
It's the weekend (Weekend)
And the streets come alive
Right here in New York City
Gotta fight to survive (Fight to survive!)
Brothers, Sisters,
Everyone we know
We can all have a party
When we all say GO!
Shake these blues
Before we lose much more
(Pre-Chorus)
(Bridge)
I got something I'm not telling
Secret, special warm and mellow
You do your thing and I'll do mine
Let's keep in touch but not too much
All I need's my sweet pornograph...
...Feelin' needy
Goin' where the...
Goin' where the...
Goin' where the...
Goin' where the action is
Goin' where the action is
Take me where the action is
Goin' where the action is
I'm spellin A-C-T-I-O-N
Goin' where the action is
Where the action is
Goin' where the action is
(Bridge)
