Saxon - 'Razamanaz' (Nazareth cover)

We've got to get it together
You bring the wine, we'll bring the weather
We haven't come to be clever
Let's make it now 'cause this could be never

We're gonna razamataz ya tonight
We're gonna razamanaz ya all night
Razamataz, razamanaz, up on your feet
Let's see ya dance, dance, dance

Now that we've come to a showdown
We won't allow you a second to slow down
The moment has come to deliver
You as the taker, and we as the giver

We're gonna razamataz ya tonight
We're gonna razamanaz ya all night
Razamataz, razamanaz, up on your feet
Let's see ya dance, dance, dance

All of the world loves a raver
We're playin' for ravers who savour the flavour
You all appear calm and collected
Razamanazin' you never expected

We're gonna razamataz ya tonight
We're gonna razamanaz ya all night
Razamataz, razamanaz, up on your feet
Let's see ya dance, dance, dance

We're gonna razamataz ya tonight
We're gonna razamanaz ya all night
Razamataz, razamanaz, up on your feet
Let's see ya dance, dance, dance

Προ διετίας οι Saxon κυκλοφόρησαν τον δίσκο διασκευών "Inspirations", ο οποίος θα αποκτήσει μεθαύριο... διάδοχο. "More Inspirations" ο τίτλος και θα περιλαμβάνει δέκα διασκευές σε (ισάριθμα) κλασικά rock - hard rock τραγούδια.

Παρακολουθούμε το βίντεο με την διασκευή στο (κλασικό) τραγούδι των Nazareth, "Razamanaz" (από τον ομότιτλο δίσκο των Σκωτσέζων hard rockers που κυκλοφόρησε το 1973), για το οποίο ο Biff Byford μας λέει:

«In the seventies we’d go and see Nazareth they were one of the premier touring hard rock bands. We were lucky to tour with them in 1980, they used to open the show with this song, it’s about the audience performed to an audience... brilliant stuff!»

Δελτίο τύπου: «Following the release of Inspirations in 2021, More Inspirations is the second ‘deep dish’ serving of the influences which have fed the mighty Saxon’s immensely successful 40+ year career.

Whether getting feral with The Animal’s “We’ve Gotta Get Out Of This Place”, letting loose a high-octane take on Alice Cooper’s “From The Inside”, or laying down a ferocious tribute to KISS’ “Detroit Rock City”, More Inspirations is a joyous trip into the sounds which galvanized the Barnsley boys and continue to get spun on home stereos and tour buses.

Produced by vocalist/co-founder Biff Byford, with Seb Byford helping record the music alongside mixing engineer Jacky Lehmann, More Inspirations also includes enthusiastic takes on Alice Cooper, Rainbow, ZZ Top and Cream, as well as a thunderous “Razamanaz” by Nazareth, a tasty take on The Who’s “Substitute”, and a thick groove take on Uriah Heep’s “Gypsy”.

Whether this is your first dance with such classic songs, or you’ve come to see where Saxon were born, More Inspirations delivers the goods and then some.»
