Send "Great Balls of Fire" Ringtone to Cell

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, oh what a thrill
Goodness gracious great balls of fire

I learned to love all of Hollywood money
You came along and you moved me honey
I changed my mind, looking fine
Goodness gracious great balls of fire

You kissed me baby, woo, it feels good
Hold me baby, learn to let me love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
I'm a nervous world that your mine mine mine mine

I cut my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I'm really nervous but it sure is fun
Come on baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire

Well kiss me baby, woo-oooooo, it feels good
Hold me baby
I want to love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
I got this world that your mine mine mine mine

I cut my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I'm real nervous 'cause it sure is fun
Come on baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire

    General Comment:This just reminds me of "Top Gun" when Goose and Maverick sing it. Its a "killer" song.

    General Comment:Otis Blackwell was throwing in a double meaning. Great Balls of Fire is about a horny guy in a state of arousal.

    General Comment:So I was reading about Jerry Lee Lewis on Wikipedia and it was talking about this song being viewed as controversial, and it wasn't associated with the whole, marrying his cousin thing. It made it out that this song was offensive in some way. Is there some other way to view this song that I'm not getting? Because I don't think I see how this is offensive.

    General Comment:Jerry was a crazy dude...this song is pretty kick ass, especial in the movie when he plays before Chuck Berry and he gets pissed and lights the piano on fire during that insane solo!!!
