"You have one new message."
"It's Gene Simmons, um, thinking about 'Detroit Rock City.' So far, other Mercury acts, Ugly Kid Joe's got dibs on that. Originally, it was Megadeth, but we didn't think they're right for the record. So Ugly Kid Joe took 'Detroit Rock City.' My suggestion is any other song you want to do is fine-"

I feel uptight on a Saturday night
Nine o' clock, and the radio's the only light
I hear my song, and it pulls me through
Comes on strong, tells me what I've got to do
Well, I got to..

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Getting late ,I just can't wait
Ten o'clock, and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start the car, and I try to make the midnight show
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

[Instrumental break]

Movin' fast, down 95
Hit top speed, but I'm still movin' much too slow
It feel so good, I'm so alive
Hear my song playin' on the radio
Well, it goes

Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

[Instrumental break]

Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
And there's a truck ahead, lights starin' at my eyes
Oh my God, no time to turn
I gotta laugh 'cause I notice that I'm gonna die
Why!?
Get up
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get up
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
