Music can have a profound effect on us, and when combined with words even more so. In this series I want to showcase some of my favorite songs, or just some that really hit that mark- the right combination of lyrics and music.
This time I'm looking at Too Shy by Kajagoogoo.
Love this song. Such a timeless tune- and what a beginning! And those lyrics- like last weeks pick, they're kinda silly, or maybe just words that fit the music- after all, not all lyrics have to mean something. They do have to work with the music though, and here I think they do. Let me know what you think!

Lyrics
Time...
Time time I'm short of breath, don't even try
Try a little harder
Something's wrong, you're not naive
You must be strong
Ooh baby try
Hey girl move a little closer
You're too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush
Try a little harder
Something's wrong, you're not naive
You must be strong
Ooh baby try
Hey girl move a little closer
You're too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush
Modern medicine falls short of your complaints
Ooh try a little harder
You're moving in circles
Won't you dilate
Mmm, baby try
Hey girl move a little closer
Cause you're too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush
Ooh try a little harder
You're moving in circles
Won't you dilate
Mmm, baby try
Hey girl move a little closer
Cause you're too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush
You're too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush
You're too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush
You're too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
This song feels familiar, at least the chorus does, but I can't place where I've heard it? I love that you keep picking songs I've never heard or am not that familiar with though, there's so much music out there! But yeah, idk what these lyrics mean lol.
ReplyDeleteI don't either! I suspect they, um, don't mean a lot of anything? Ha but it is catchy!
DeleteI remember this song coming out when I was in 9th grade and being utterly convinced that music couldn't possibly ever get better. LOL
ReplyDelete80's music is definitely its own thing, and there was so much experimentation/ variety- I love how wide open it was!
Deletei remember this one. a lot of times all i know is the chorus but love the song anyway.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
Same here!
DeleteMan you are really killing it with the picks - and aging me because I grew up loving all these 80 songs you share! It is a great song and I used to have such a crush on Limahl when I was a teen!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barb! I want to make sure I don't pick all 80's songs, but man there are SO many!
DeleteIt has been too long since I heard this song! I love learning the lyrics and making sense or no... it is a fun ride. :D
ReplyDeleteThere's a blast from the past! :)
ReplyDeleteI remember that song. I used to like it a whole lot.
ReplyDeleteOh wow - there are very few lyrics in that one!
ReplyDeleteSo eye infection?? lol

Greg!!! You keep planting all these earwigs in my head! I was a fan of this song way back when.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have this song in my head all week now, lol. I loved this one back when I was in school, although I'm not convinced I ever knew any of the words beyond the chorus. I just remember loving how their voices sounded.
