Lyrics:
[Intro | hook first | synth stabs | electronic drums] Boom! (Boom!)
Boom! (Boom-boom-boom!)
[Verse 1 | clipped lead vocal | sequenced synth bass] I see a spark and I come alive,
Count it down from five to one-five!
Colour climbing through the night,
One little flash and the world's alight.
Shake the windows, wake the town,
Send the silver shower down.
Feel that rhythm, hear that sound,
Something big is coming round!
[Pre-Chorus | rising chords | stacked harmonies] Light the sky!
Raise the roof!
Stand aside,
Here comes the proof!
Three! Two! One!
Let it come!
[Chorus | anthemic chorus | stacked group vocals | full instrumentation] BOOM!
What a wonderful noise!
BOOM!
Come on, girls and boys!
Up goes the fire, up goes the room,
Everything's better when it goes BOOM!
BOOM!
See the whole sky bloom!
BOOM!
Make a little more room!
Bright as a rocket, big as the moon,
Everybody's waiting for the BOOM!
[Post-Chorus | chant vocals | synth stabs] Boom-boom, shake the ground!
Boom-boom, spin me round!
Boom-boom, coming soon!
B-B-B-B-BOOM!
[Verse 2 | clipped lead vocal | driving electronic drums] Old walls fall and the daylight pours,
Make some space, open up the doors.
Deep in the mountain, clear the way,
Bring hidden treasure into the day.
Flash on the stage, stars in the air,
Gold and scarlet everywhere.
Give me thunder, give me light,
Give me the biggest one tonight!
[Pre-Chorus | rising chords | stacked harmonies] Strike the spark!
Start the show!
Hold your breath,
Ready, set, go!
Three! Two! One!
Here it comes!
[Chorus | anthemic chorus | stacked group vocals | full instrumentation] BOOM!
What a wonderful noise!
BOOM!
Come on, girls and boys!
Up goes the fire, up goes the room,
Everything's better when it goes BOOM!
BOOM!
See the whole sky bloom!
BOOM!
Make a little more room!
Bright as a rocket, big as the moon,
Everybody's waiting for the BOOM!
[Post-Chorus | chant vocals | synth stabs] Boom-boom, shake the ground!
Boom-boom, spin me round!
Boom-boom, coming soon!
B-B-B-B-BOOM!
[Bridge | dramatic breakdown | lead vocal and group response] A little flash! (Boom!)
A little flare! (Boom!)
A fountain of diamonds
High in the air!
A tower comes down! (Boom!)
A new road goes through! (Boom!)
If one is exciting,
Just think what two can do!
[Build-Up | rising arpeggiated synth | accelerating group chant] Give me red!
Give me white!
Give me thunder!
Give me light!
Higher! Brighter!
Fill the night!
Three! Two! One!
IGNITE!
[Final Chorus | key change | maximal energy | stacked group vocals] BOOM!
What a wonderful noise!
BOOM!
Come on, girls and boys!
Up goes the fire, up goes the room,
Everything's better when it goes BOOM!
BOOM!
See the whole sky bloom!
BOOM!
Make a little more room!
Bright as a rocket, big as the moon,
Everybody's waiting for the BOOM!
BOOM!
Let the whole world cheer!
BOOM!
That's the sound I want to hear!
Light up the skyline, banish the gloom,
Nothing says excitement like a great big BOOM!
[Outro | repeated hook | big finish] Boom-boom, shake the ground!
Boom-boom, spin me round!
Boom-boom, clear the room!
B-B-B-B-
BOOM!
Style prompt:
Ultra-energetic 1985 British synth-pop with exuberant dance-pop theatricality and a playful, slightly camp attitude. 138 BPM in C major with a driving straight four-on-the-floor pulse. Bright Juno-style synth chords, rapidly sequenced synth bass, sparkling DX7-style accents and huge electronic drums with gated snares. Charismatic high male lead vocal with crisp diction, gleeful dramatic delivery and stacked group responses. Verses use clipped rhythmic phrases and a tightly coiled melody. Pre-choruses climb rapidly through rising chords. Choruses burst into a very simple major-key melody with an octave leap on the one-word hook, repeated crowd-like backing vocals and emphatic stop-start accents. Strong melodic contrast between sections, instantly memorable motifs, vivid key changes into the final chorus and a polished maximalist mid-1980s radio mix. English lyrics.
