We-hell-I see him every night in tight blue jeans--
In the pages of a Blue Boy magazine
Hey I've been looking for a new sensation
I'm picking up--good vibrations--
Oop--she bop--
Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar
Huh, yea, I wanna go south n get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop--or I'll go blind
Oop--she bop--she bop
She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop
Be bop--be bop--a--lu--bop,
I hope He will understand
She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop
Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop,
Oo--oo--she--do--she bop--she bop
(whistle)...
Hey, hey--they say I better get a chaperone
Because I can't stop messin' with the danger zone
No, I won't worry, and I won't fret--
There ain't no law against it yet--
Oop--she bop--she bop--
She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop
Be bop--be bop--a--lu--bop,
I hope He will understand
She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop
Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop,
Oo--oo--she--do--she bop--she bop

So talented
There was certainly no avoiding this on the airwaves back in the day. However, decades later it is novel to hear it again. But do not need to hear it much!
Adventures in Solitude - High Your Love - Feel a Little Better - Only Love Matters - then She Bop. Oh RP I really, really Love You!!

I give the song an 8 because it is a nice enough pop song, but also because she dared to be a little more open about the taboo subject than other songs. I am sure back in the day conservative parents were all upset about a song that dared to say it was ok to pleasure oneself.
Hey, we're headed back that way with those Religious Fascists that are getting in officel.....Did I say that? Yeah!

A thrill to hear
Once a daily and habitual tune
Now an old new flavour

I think this was the first album I ever had. This one and the Thompson Twins :)

You might be surprised how many people pay no attention to the meaning of song lyrics. As Paul Simon sang, "I could say oo oo oo as if everybody knows what I'm talking about".

I never read the lyrics until I read your comments. Excellent observation and an opinion I share. I definitely he-bopped earlier that the year this song came out!!!
I'd also add:
"Pump It Up" by Elvis Costello & Attractions
"Turning Japanese" by The Vapors

Wow. I hadn't ever looked at the lyrics but yeah. That makes three songs I know of dedicated to the Solo Art. Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself" and Violent Femme's "Blister in the Sun". Any others out there? I'm sure there are...sinners

This is one of those Top40 songs - I never understood why I like it.

The Vapors' Turning Japanese would also fit into this musical tribute to onanism. Gotta hand it to 'em.

I dig the song.
But to be clear. She is talking about masturbation right?

Naaaah - horrid. I'll accept 'True Colours', but not this. And if you play 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun', the PC goes out of the window.

Flash back to the video on MTV of her flying around the concert hall in a trash can. Pretty funny.
Please tell me I\'m only dreaming and that you\'re not really playing this.
BLAAAAHHHHHGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!
Uhg....gag. Cyndi has a good voice, but I generally disliked her music.
Cut it out. It hurts.
...well what can i say - this is really really bad music...
She Bop??? on RP??
I am not quite sure how to react. Thanks for making me pay attention, Bill! I am a child of the 80s so of course I like this song - just surprised to hear it here.
