"Kickstart My Heart" is a song by the American rock band Mötley Crüe, originally released on their 1989 album, Dr. Feelgood. The song was written by Nikki Sixx about his famous overdose in which he was declared clinically dead before being revived by two adrenaline shots to the heart. The video clip was shot in the Whisky-A-Go-Go during the Mötley Crüe's warm up show before embarking on the Dr. Feelgood Tour. For the 'Carnival of Sins' tour 2005, "Kickstart My Heart" was used as the band's closing song of a concert. Released as the album's second single in 1989, "Kickstart My Heart" reached #27 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the United States.[1] The introduction is a classic example of a Floyd Rose bridge trick, in which Mick Mars drops 3 consecutive strings resulting in sound similar to a car shifting gears.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1] When I get high, I get high on speed Top fuel funny car's a drug for me My heart, my heart Kickstart my heart Always got the cops coming after me Custom built bike doing 103 My heart, my heart Kickstart my heart [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, are you ready girls? Ooh, are you ready now? [Chorus] Whoa, yeah Kickstart my heart, give it a start Whoa, yeah Baby Whoa, yeah Kickstart my heart, hope it never stops Ooh, yeah Baby, yeah [Verse 2] Skydive naked from an aeroplane Or a lady with a body from outer space My heart, my heart Kickstart my heart Say I got trouble, trouble in my eyes I'm just looking for another good time My heart, my heart Kickstart my heart [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, are you ready girls? Yeah, are you ready now, now, now? [Chorus] Whoa, yeah Kickstart my heart, give it a start Whoa, yeah Baby Whoa, yeah Kickstart my heart, hope it never stops Whoa, yeah Baby [Bridge] Kickstart my heart When we started this band, all we needed Needed was a laugh Years gone by, I'd say we've kicked some ass When I'm enraged or hitting the stage Adrenaline rushing through my veins And I'd say we're still kicking ass I say, ooh-ah Kickstart my heart, hope it never stops And to think, we did all of this to rock [Chorus] Whoa, yeah Kickstart my heart, give it a start Whoa, yeah B-b-b-b-b-b-baby Whoa, yeah Kickstart my heart, hope it never stops Whoa, yeah Baby Kickstart my heart, hope it never stops Whoa, yeah Baby Whoa, yeah Kickstart my heart, give it a start Whoa, yeah [Outro] Kickstart my heart
