Hi everyone,

Please help me to find out what this song is, its been absolutely killing me!
The problem is, i know that what i think the lyrics are is wrong, so really the only thing i know is the tune, and some misheard lyrics...
Well here it is, the chorus part goes

"Hey little babe won't you light your catapult"
or
"hey little babe won't you light your motorboat"
or
"hey little girl want to light your motorboat"
or i don't know!!

i know these suggestions are wrong!!!

some more details:
its a male singer.
the chorus part is sung quite fast with the words running into each other.
its a quite famous and well known song, not some unknown artist.

please please reply if you have any idea.....

thanks!

Could be The Black Crowes - Hard To Handle  ???


Baby here I am
I'm the man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you gotta' come home with me

I have got some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You gotta' come back for more

(Chorus)

Boys and things that come by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Hey little thing let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now,
Gets around

Action speaks louder than words
And I'm a man of great experience
I know you've got another man
But I can love you better than him

Take my hand don't be afraid
I'm gonna prove every word I say
I'm advertising love for free
So you can place your ad with me

(Chorus)

Boys come along a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'
Hey little thing let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now,
Gets around

Billy Idol's White Wedding?  ???


Hey little sister what have you done?
Hey little sister who's the only one?
Hey little sister who's your superman?
Hey little sister who's the one you want?
Hey little sister shot gun!

It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day for a white wedding.
It's a nice day to start again.

Hey little sister who is it you're with?
Hey little sister what's your vice and wish?
Hey little sister shot gun (oh yeah)
Hey little sister who's your superman?
Hey little sister shot gun!

It's a nice day to start again (come on)
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.

(Pick it up)

Take me back home

Hey little sister what have you done?
Hey little sister who's the only one?
I've been away for so long (so long)
I've been away for so long (so long)
I let you go for so long

It's a nice day to start again (come on)
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.

There is nothin' fair in this world
There is nothin' safe in this world
And there's nothin' sure in this world
And there's nothin' pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again

Come on
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day to start again

Or Bruce Springsteen I'm on Fire


I'm On Fire
Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I'm on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby
edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
and a freight train running through the
middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I'm on fire

Most likely, yes. The Black Crowes version is a cover version, as you probably now. It was originally sung by Otis Redding.

It was also covered by Mae West in the movie "Myra Breckinridge"

Hey everyone

It was indeed 'Hard To Handle'!

You people are amazing!

But i should have known that you'd be more likely to light a 'candle' than a 'catapult' or 'motorboat', lol.

The version i was thinking of was the one by The Black Crowes.

What a fantastic song.

Thanks again  :)
