This is one of those songs that just jumps into your brain and stays there–extremely catchy, easy to sing along with, easily danced to, just a lot of fun, as is the very funny promo video.
As to the song’s background, from Wikipedia:
“… was originally conceived to be just one of a suite of songs, a mini-opera like the Who’s A Quick One as I strived to fulfill my Wagnerian masterplan to revive the 70’s concept album (c.f. Radiohead). Two other songs from Crank, “Hypocrite Blues” and “Gospel Train”, also survive from the grand opus. “The Right Time” was intended as the theme for a female gang of motorcycle hellcats, but of course that’s obvious.” - Dave Faulkner.
And of course, the lyrics:
Baby here we come,
Were gonna step on you,
Just stay out of our way now.
Listen we dont care,
Keep your business to yourself,
Youve got too much to say now.
You are mine (you are mine),
Anytime (anywhere, anytime),
Theres no time like the right time.
Baby we ain’t sure,
That we like your attitude,
Dont you act like a child now.
We ain’t here for long, —
No mistakes for being rude,
Service me with a smile now.
(you’ll get a big tip)
You are mine (you are mine),
Anytime (anywhere, anytime),
Theres no time like the right time.
Make a sign (make a sign),
Cross that line (anytime, anywhere)
Theres no time like the right time
And thats now.
Baby watch your step,
Or well have to mess you up,
You better do what I say now,
We might live longer that way now.
But for what.
You are mine (yes youre mine),
Anytime (anywhere, anytime),
Theres no time like the right time.
Make a sign (make a sign),
Cross that line (anywhere, anytime),
Theres no time like the right time,
Like the right time,
Like the right time,
Like the right time.
