Pete from Nowra, Australiare The McDonalds TV commercial featuring this song, here's the is great.It's yet another gem from my ''74 Senior Year.' I've always been intriqued by the James Dean callouts, as he AND the song have a real, sauve coolness about them. Don from Indianapolis, InYeah.absolutely a great song.Joe from Chicago, IlThis song was also covered by Toni Basil on her 1982 album, 'Word Of Mouth'.I used to think that way also but, in listening to the song recently (repeatedly), I think the lyrics are 'Hey did ya rock & roll? Rock on. Paul from Marlton, NjThe posted lyrics to this song say, 'Hey kid rack & roll.'.This song however is talking about James Dean nicknamed Jimmy Dean. Jimmy Dean was a nickname people called James Dean. Constance from Dallas, TxAnnaBelle Yes Jimmy Dean and James Dean in the song is the same person.I think Archie was just having a little fun with us. It only reached #3 on the UK singles chart. Billboard Hot 100 pop-music chart and was never at #1. Also, he's not from the Ohio Valley, he was born in England. As someone else stated it was David Essex who wrote 'Rock On' and performed the original version. Bill from Frankfort, IlI'm not sure where Archie from N.C.Cyberpope from Richmond, CanadaFunny how the Aussie ad for an American company & American song managed to sneak in a plug to an era Aussie band ('Men At Work').Cyberpope from Richmond, CanadaI've always especially loved those opening bass notes.Esskayess from Dallas, TxWhen I was a kid, I thought the two spots with no sound before 'Jimmy Dean' (near the end) were deleted expletives.Adele from Glendale, CaHas anyone else noticed the similarities between this and Betty Davis' 'I Will Take That Ride'? musically her song is much the same, yet slowed down.Esskayess from Dallas, TxTo finish my post 2 spots below: I still think the bassy voice that says 'James Dean' was doing it to make sure no one thought Essex was singing about the guy who sold sausage and played a billionaire in 'Diamonds Are Forever.'.'The posted lyrics to this song say, 'Hey kid rack & roll.'. Not a single lyric database that I can find gets it right. Listen to the Def Leppard version and you'll see they tried to split the difference.

It's a nostalgia song, and it's full of those questions. Dylan from Boca Raton, FlPaul Marlton, I've been saying the same thing for a long time.Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn March 30th 1974, David Essex performed 'Rock On' on the ABC-TV program 'American Bandstand'.Īt the time the song was at #16 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart twenty-seven days earlier on March 3rd, 1974 it had peaked at #5.Seventhmist from 7th HeavenA few years later, Essex played the crazy artilleryman in Jeff Wayne's musical rock version of 'War of the Worlds.'.I'd love to hear a band that only focused on bass & drums (2 bass players, & a drummer) maybe use an actual acoustic Bass & a Cello for the underlaid rhythm. George Pope from Vancouver - CanadaBass - solid sound for this song.He offered this track and Benny and The Jets by Elton John as influences. Knownbyname from MassachusettsMichael Stipe sights this song as an inspiration for the REM standout cut, Drive.
