As one of the top soul/funk bands of the eighties, Atlanta based Cameo brought the “strange” out in all of us, but in a fun way. Outrageous costumes aside, Cameo’s “We’re Going Out Tonight” is one of my favorites. The song had a smooth melody and flow while Wayne Cooper’s soaring falsetto added that “heavenly” element to it. WGOT was featured on Cameo’s 1980 album Cameosis. Now, go dig in the bottom of your closet and pull your Gucci out, so we can get to steppin!
We’re going out tonight
And I want my friends know
Cause you look just right (awright!)
And my feelings start to show
I owe it all to you
And I’m sure
I’ll do
the things
you want
me too.
You shocked me
Amazed me
You blew me away
As I stand next to you, you make me nervous
I cant see a thing in front of me
for days and days I cant forget cha
My friends ask me why my God you got me high
All the things I want I find them hard to get
but now my luck has changed
We’re going out tonight and we’ll stand out in the crowd
because were dressed real nice
even Gucci would be proud
I don’t mind telling you, you look good
You look so good, so good to me
Your vibrations move me, sensuality grooves me
Im hung up on this lovely girl
Ive never seen eyes like this your teeth as white as pearls
hey baby youre the wonder of my world
When we step out tonight the people will applaud
the girls will say my my, the guys will say oh lord
Im in heaven, heaven heaven, heaven’s just for me
I thank the Lord for what he’s given me it feels so nice to be
Im in heaven, Im in heaven
