Kajagoogoo - Rocket Boy Lyrics






He was a beautiful boy
She was a beautiful woman
They were the beautiful stars
Of a Hollywood blockbuster

He bought a beautiful ring
For her beautiful finger
They had a beautiful home
They lived in California

Ooh rocket boy
Loves calendar girl
Ooh ooh rocket boy
Thinks you're out of this world
But calendar girl
Don't like rocket man
'Cause calendar girl
Is a... lesbian!
The calendar girl's got a brand new friend
The calendar girl's got a brand new friend, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah

They had a beautiful fight
They threw some beautiful punches
But he said it was all right
That he'd filmed what he wanted

He put it on the TV
He made it into a movie
So everybody could see
Their happy ever after

Ooh rocket boy
Loves calendar girls
Oh ooh rocket boy
Thinks they're out of this world
But calendar girls
Don't like rocket men
'Cause calendar girls
Are a les..., lesbian!
The calendar girl's got a brand new friend
The calendar girl's got a brand new friend, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
The calendar girl's got a brand new friend
The calendar girl's got a brand new friend, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-y!

Aow!
Uh!

Ooh rocket boy
Loves calendar girl
Ooh ooh rocket boy
Thinks you're out of this world
But calendar girl
Don't like rocket man
'Cause calendar girl
Is a... la la la la lesbian!
The calendar girl's got a brand new friend
The calendar girl's got a brand new friend, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
The calendar girl's got a brand new friend
The calendar girl's got a brand new friend, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-y!

  12. D.... I....

    AMAZING!

    D.... I....

    Daniel não sei se é Pedir Muito .
    Mas se Vc fizer um video explicando a musica  -
    AQUI 
    Cara , ia ser mega FODA.
    Tento tirar a Um seculo e nao consegui.
    Quebra essa.

  13. s.... ....

    All you do I guess about everything!

  14. m.... ....

    I absolutely love this video. Whenever I am feeling down this is what I watch. Nick you are brilliant! I totally get the song and the headspace you were in when you filmed this. I think you look fantastic. So entertaining!! :-))

  15. P.... K....

    He is very silly. And very attractive :)

  16. Y.... L....

    Świetna zabawa :)) brawo Mr. Beggs. Oby każdy artysta umiał tak się bawić.

  17. F.... ....

    You are one messed up dude! But you know,,,I kind of think its hip and groovy too. Should sell millions to add another gold one for the wall. From the CANADIAN guy. LOL!!!!

  18. N.... l....

    Oh My God! Nick Beggs?!
    He plays with Barbie dolls?!
    He use the word Lesbian? this is new for me.
    But that's still kind of funny

    N.... l....

    I gather you did not spot the middle finger >D
    also:
    where can I get the full res super8 of this vid?!
    why does the old guard crank out fresh sounding stuff, while the youngsters sound stale?!
    why it took me 10 years to get to find this little gem?!

  19. M.... ....

    Sprintbass, has any one ever mistaken you for David Brent, the Ricky Gervais character from the office ? Just curious. It could just be the photo !

  20. A.... d....

    Cracking job it is - and as unmistakeable as it could be. Thanks for mentioning it: the direct link to this tune on Kajafax does not seem to work.

  21. A.... d....

    Their music still is better then most of what there is out there. Hoping they still record more (even though I read somewhere Nick didn't think so), as maybe I would finally get to hear them live.

  22. s.... p....

    go rocket boy xxx

  23. v.... ....

    Everything that's wrong with the world, summed up in one video.

  24. D.... ....

    Looks like he just got high or something. Definitely not my favorite song.

    D.... ....

    I agree he looks quite stimulated, OTOH some rehearsal has been going on for this video, he has done his homework before turning the webcam on. So my bet is on endorphins.

    D.... ....

    I really don't think he's "high" on anything except having a good laugh... He's pretty well known for his humour! He is lovely, and if you search his name on here you'll see that he seems really grounded and not at all druggy! All hail the Beggion! :-D

  25. T.... C....

    Just listen to Nicks bassline on our new track - he did a cracking job! Just google NEW ROMANTIC THE CIRCUIT SYMPHONY

    T.... C....

    Great stuff!

  26. c.... ....

    You're music still sucks, 30 years later.

    c.... ....

    Have you listened to Steven Wilson or seen Steve Hackett lately?

  27. F.... F....

    I LOVE IT FREAK-LOL. YOU ARE AMAZING-A TRUE ONE OF A KIND~

  28. s.... ....

    I wonder how many lines this took

    s.... ....

    A multiple of 5 lines, AKA staff.

  29. s.... t....

    WOW!, Bret Michaels your've changed heaps!!

  30. Z.... ....

    @Shaunforever
    As much as I don't want to, I gotta agree with you. The music here sounds alot like something you would hear from any of these new alternative rock bands nowadays. I'm not sayin its a bad song, it just a sound I wasn't expecting from Kajagoogoo. I thought "Space Cadet" was one of the better new tracks from him. It still has a different sound compared to their old stuff, but Nick Beggs lays down another great bass line. He's the reason I got into Kajagoogoo, he's a great talent!!

  31. Z.... ....

    @DannyBizzel
    You're right. In the States, they are a one hit wonder. It doesn't mean the rest of their music sucks. It just means that the rest their music wasn't as accessible to people, who generally, don't know a damn thing about music. Some of those bands really are bad though, but not Kajagoogoo. Nick Beggs is quite a good bassist and he knows his stuff. Hes terribly underrated - I had an easier time learning rush tunes compared to some of his work. And 'faggot'? Come on now, grow up dude

  32. s.... ....

    I was lucky to see Nick in the flesh on the steve hackett tour a few days ago

  33. J.... M....

    Wow, I thought I had problems... Thanks dude!

  34. c.... ....

    Nick, I would love to see you without the hat and clean shaven. I personally do not think the Metallica look suits you.

  35. s.... ....

    i love this man...he is one of the reasns i became a bass player...id give anything to see them live one day (im in USA) id pay a high pricve to a charity as well just to meet him and tell him my story and what he means to me..

    s.... ....

    He plays live with Steven Wilson and Steve Hackett, and is so fantastic... hope you get to see him... Everyone who knows him adores him too... a really friendly, warm guy who doesn't play that aloof star thing... I hope you get to see him and maybe meet him!

  36. r.... ....

    IF PRINCE OR TERENCE HEAR THIS SONG THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COVER ALL TOGETHER LIVE!!!!!!!!
    WE CAN JUST DREAM ON

  37. p.... ....

    WHOA! Cool stuff. Someone gave 1/5 for this on discogs. Seems he didn't get the deadpan humor lurking inside...

  38. M.... S....

    I wonder which couple this song is refering to LOL

  39. D.... ....

    Great song..I'm sure Nick could squeeze out a dental contract with some company .sporting those beautiful pearly whites..lol

  40. n.... ....

    I see blue monitor in his glasses

  41. c.... ....

    Hm... Sounds good!!!

  42. d.... ....

    I Thought Kajagoogoo/Kaja immensely underrated as far as 80'sNew Romantic bands went. I'd always preferred them to Duran Duran.

  43. r.... ....

    his mouth has something of the donald sutherland about it

  44. T.... ....

    bomb-aaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  45. B.... ....

    It´s Nick ? Omg, he was so lovely when he was young :D

  46. M.... B....

    Mixed emotions

  47. x.... ....

    ten utworek?

  48. x.... ....

    Pozdrowienia z Polski, zagraj coś na miarę roku 1985 ;)

  49. t.... ....

    John Taylor is a highly under-rated bass player. Both he and Nick Beggs were the monster bass cats of their genre.

  50. x.... ....

    no coz, nic nie poradzisz

  51. D.... ....

    john Taylor is superb, Nick is great, but should stick to the bass! haha

  52. c.... ....

    Well I sat through it, so well done me. ;-)

  53. T.... ....

    nick is one of the best bass players from 80's.even much better than john taylor,martin kamp...keep on rockin kajagoogoo.

  54. A.... A....

    Freakin' Funny! Look how much he had difference movement combination in just single video shot!! Very Creative!!

    NICK BEGGS RULEZ!! (I Beggs you pardon?)

  55. P.... ....

    this is not a Rocket boy, this is a LSD boy ! Lol

  56. i.... ....

    Well, I think Nick has been changed in his
    appearence compared to the age of kajagoogoo, however, I like this song.

  57. P.... ....

    Wow i have to say i am disappointed. I just dont like this at all. I liked the old Kaja.

    On a positive note, I can say the video is funny, and the intro/outro music is cool.

    I did like the rockin thing he did on the Chapman stick. it sounded kinda like the pumpkins. Oh well hope your other new music sounds a lot different :)

  58. m.... ....

    This song is horrible!!! Old Kajagoogoo fan here. The words of the songs were terrible without Limahl. Those guys should have given Limahl more money!!!

  59. x.... ....

    I have all 3 albums, (islands is the best !!), but this... sorry i dont like it.
    Sounds like crippled colleage rock.
    Sorry for that comment but this is what im thinking about it.
    This is not what I expect from 4th album...

  60. k.... ....

    Catchy as fuck! Nice one, Nick... (;o)

  61. D.... ....

    Nick great try at a new record but I agree with someone earlier...sounds like something out of Lazy Town. maybe go into doing songs for Kids TV. Not my cup of tea but good luck anyway :O)

  62. G.... ....

    Not much of a budget for a video then???

  63. p.... ....

    It just occurred to me what other (even more) obscure 80s band this video reminded me of...anyone else remember the Producers (with Wayne Famous)?

  64. M.... D....

    He & his wife must find it amusing this video full of
    humor and a mere hat would have folks launch a debate.
    Maybe those with hat issues need to go and watch Men
    Without Hats videos. They may be found a lot 'safer'.

  65. M.... D....

    I just think he's wearing a hat because it looks cool.

  66. J.... L....

    just one word to describe you and your music... fab!

  67. M.... D....

    448 Cougar. They all still live in the UK and never
    left. And, how did Hasselhoff get involved in this?
    Just enjoy the fun in the song and switch to decaf.

  68. S.... D....

    Damn Nick...I feel embarassed for us both.

  69. S.... ....

    Yeah this is a great song and a nice clip, I have watched this clip so many times and never been tired. Too bad here is not in stores this cdsingle, I would buy it at once:) I am a big Kajagoogoo fan.

  70. p.... ....

    lol. 'Calendar girl is a lesbian'? This is the same act that gave us 'The Power to Forgive?' Nice to see they've lightened up... I always root for these guys since someone asked me if I was their keyboard player (we have the same name).

  71. s.... ....

    So much for aging with dignity. Geesh.

  72. L.... S....

    Mad as chips! Thought you'd never be able to do anything worthy of holding a candle to Islands, but this is great - can't wait for the new elbun!

  73. D.... D....

    Oh dear...

  74. W.... ....

    YES NICK! This is a dream come true. A NEW KAJAGOOGOO ALBUM!!!

  75. t.... ....

    Pile of ass !

  76. X.... ....

    wicked song...xxxxx

  77. D.... T....

    oh my god, this is dire

  78. K.... C....

    Rocket Boy is a lot of fun and very very catchy IMHO a hit!! Kajagoogoo have always improved...White Feathers to Islands to Crazy People. The forth album will be better still. They are enjoying recording and Nick has written some awsome songs so it looks good for the 4th

  79. x.... ....

    Awesome! :D

  80. n.... ....

    Yep. I heard this at the weekend. Very funny, annoyingly catchy and more than a hint of Zappaism. Excellent!
    Looking forward to seeing you guys at Retrofest.
    Cheers,
    Nick

  81. r.... ....

    Crazy Bastard! Great Track & Video - can't Stop singing it : )

  82. M.... D....

    It doesn't matter who'd sings, both are great.
    It's that Nick/Steve/Stuart are writing again.
    "Tears", & now this proves they still have it.
    Modern, yet still catchy. Pity Jez is not part
    of it, as his style fit the band. Still, great
    to see this. Nick's genius. Hilarious & still,
    one of the best bassists. Bring the Sting Ray.

  83. R.... S....

    I was in the pub yesterday with Beggsy for a swift half and he suggested that I should take and look. Wow!! Absolutely brilliant-- the Americans will love this -- I might post this for the guys to look at work as I work for an American company. Good luck Stuart, Nick and Steve. Rob
