It's an all around great 80's synth pop/rock anthem with new wave elements and still effective today as a supreme motivation anthem. It has the perfect mix of stadium type hooks, punchy guitar riffs, guitar solos, state of the art synths (by 80's standards) and an incredibly positive and hopeful type message to drive yourself to succeed no matter what.
"We are the winners, watch us glimmer. Like the sunset of champions! We're in control, body and soul. We push ourselves to the maximum! The Champions! The Champions! We are the Champions! Shining ... We take the spotlight We are the ones We're the champions! Looking smarter Beating harder We play to win We're the champions! We're inspired, reaching higher, Second to none Champions! We're in control, body and soul! We're moving on to the maximum! The Champions! The Champions! We are the winners, watch us glimmer. Second to none Champions! Shining ... We take the spotlight We're the ones, we are the champions!"
Wake up with a smile 'Cause I got you on my mind Better than any dream Knowning that you'll be close to me I can't wait anymore Got me Running out my front door Cause you're everything I ever dreamed Was sure could not exist. It never even crossed my mind To even. try to wish But now, I know Now I know Now I know Now I know Now I know Now I know That it was just a matter of time, Just my whole life to find something right And Guess what, It's you It's you It's you It's you It's you It's starting to get on my nerves Can you not be so Damn Perfect Everytime you make me laugh I'm falling in love Guess that's not so bad I can't wait anymore Got me Running out my front door 'Cause you're everything I ever dreamed Was sure could not exist. It never even crossed my mind To even. try to wish But now, I know Now I know Now I know Now I know Now I know Now I know That it was just a matter of time, Just my whole life to find something right And Guess what, It's you It's you It's you It's you It's you Assaulting all of my senses From Your Smell To your Sentence I see the light behind your eyes Oh How I want to crawl inside I can't wait to go bed So I can wAke up and See you again 'Cause you're everything I ever dreamed Was sure could not exist. It never even crossed my mind To even. try to wish But now, I know Now I know Now I know Now I know Now I know Now I know That it was just a matter of time, Just my whole life to find something right And Guess what, It's you It's you It's you It's you It's you And Guess what, It's you It's you It's you It's you It's you
"We are the winners, watch us glimmer, like the sunset of champions! We're in control, body and soul, we push ourselves to the maximum!" Favorite lines.
I have heard this song in mashups for years and never found out where it came from until now. I finally feel at peace knowing where the insanely catchy beat came from.
When I was a kid on church mission trips every morning they'd have us wake up by filing into the sanctuary and watching (and attempting) a silly 80s exercise video to really wake up before we ate and set out for the day. This song has that exact vibe all those old videos went for at 6 am on those hot mornings.
anyone else randomly remembering the chorus at 3am then looking it up, then having an unexpected surge of serotonin and feeling the need to dance to this?
[Verse 1] We are the winners, watch us glimmer Like the sunset of champions! We're in control, body and soul We push ourselves to the maximum The Champions! The Champions! We are the champions! [Verse 2] Shining so bright We take the spotlight We are the ones We're the champions! Looking farther Beating harder We play to win We're the champions! We're inspired, reaching higher Second to none Champions! We're in control, body and soul We're moving on to the maximum! The Champions! The Champions!
Holy shit...KFC ...is using a clip of this in one of their commercials.. as the background music... you have to listen very carefully... thought i was trippN
hahaha same here! and now all my boyfriend and I want to do is watch the crystal lake national championships. We watched one the other night and EVERYONE is just so stoked on Aerobics, such happy times
As much as this song is catchy and addictive, whenever I try to remember how it goes, the tune always gets mixed up with Take On Me in my head and frustrates me to no end and I end up having to look it up in the end. XD
