Lyrics
Jerkin' round with the guitar down on my knees
Fulfilling teenage punk fantasies
Wearin' shoes that I hate
Pretending I can skate
Girl, they gather around me
And so, does record companies
Screamin' and shoutin' a Commercial Rebel
Lookin' depressive, dressed like a junky
Too bad I'm sellin' my soul for rock & roll
My only desire is to be funky
How I miss that Hammond sound
and a groovy bass-line slappin' around
Disco ball and a disco feel
Movin' my feet from toe to heal
Dreamin' about boogie-dancing
A Saturday Night Fever spotlight
But here I am
Screamin' and shoutin' a Commercial Rebel
Lookin' depressive, dressed like a junky
Too bad I'm sellin' my soul for rock & roll
My only desire is to be funky
I'm talkin' about
Earth, Wind & Fire, Cool & The Gang,
Gloria Gaynor, KC & The Sunshine Band,
Bootsy Collins, O'Jays and Chic
and last but not least, The Bee Gees
