Burning In The Heat Of Love

UK, 7th April, 1977
Barn Records -

The second single on their own label, Barn, this record failed to make a chart appearance in the UK at all.

German Picture Cover of "Burning In The Heat Of Love" - Barn - 1977.

Burning In The Heat Of Love was a standalone, non-album single, but a cover version of the song did appear on Girlschool's "Play Dirty" Album in 1983, and was even released as a single by them too.  That track, plus a few more on the album, were produced by Noddy and Jimmy!







Belgium - Barn - 1977.

France - Barn - 1977.

Italy - Polydor - 1977.





My thanks to Chris 'The Historian' Selby for his relentless research. It is said, in certain circles, that Walsall Archives have a seat reserved specifically for him and that Wolverhampton archives consult him when searching the Express & Star




Burning In The Heat Of Love
(Noddy Holder & Jimmy Lea)

Sun's above the fire below
The earth is shaking, shimmy quaking to and fro
And if in doubt, you check it out
This crazy thing called love the fuss is all about

I'm burning in the heat driven by the beat
Can't you see I'm burning in the heat of love
I'm burning in the heat driven by the beat
Can't you see I'm burning in the heat of love

I'm cool above, I'm hot below
My knees are knocking, shocking tremelo
We wined and dined and 69'd
This red hot pleasing shot a tingle right up my spine

I'm burning in the heat, driven by the beat
Can't you see I'm burning in the heat of love
I'm burning in the heat driven by the beat
I'm burning in the heat of love

Hey you over there - I remember your....eyes
You look so good when they were closed

I'm smoking above, I'm steaming below
My back is aching, busy making ecstasy flow
I'm taking a tip, I finally got hip
The only real L.O.V.E. is caught in my zip...oww!

I'm burning in the heat, driven by the beat
Can't you see I'm burning in the heat of love
I'm burning in the heat driven by the beat
I'm burning in the heat of love

I'm burning burning burning burning
I'm burning in the heat of love
I'm burning in the fire, that's my desire
I'm burning in the heat of love

Get lucky you teaser - You gonna give me some lip?
Ooh I like your mind - It's your body I can't  stand


Ready Steady Kids
(Noddy Holder & Jimmy Lea)

Reeba reeba!

Oh anytime you like, you want a hot summer's night
The sweet smell of weed in the air - yes sir
All the cats are hangin' on and flying like kites
You can tell by the glass in their stare yes sir

Any bar or pool room and the action gets rough
A sense of discontent in the air, yes sir
Catch some sideways jojo that was tryin' to look tough
You can tell them Harlem cookies ain't square, no sir

The Ready steady kids are flippin' their lids and rippin' their skids
The Ready steady kids are pickin' their sticks and smokin' their cigs

They're rowdy at the ballgame on a cold afternoon
Aimin' at the ref with a can, yo man
All them cats been workin' all week, they're out for a loon
They're gettin' all stuck up in a jam yo man

The Ready steady kids are flippin' their lids and rippin' their skids - look out!
The Ready steady kids are pickin' their sticks and smokin' their cigs

Ready steady, we're ready steady, we're ready steady, go go go go

Oh, any old plantation on a hot summer's nite - the sweet smell of grass in the air, yes sir
All the cats are hangin' on and flying like kites - You can tell by the glass in their glare yes sir

[Choruses and ad-libs to end]
