Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I thought tonight would suck like every other night
I'd party with my friends
But when I saw you grooving on the dance floor
Normal came to an end
We started talking and man, it was so clear to me
There's no one else like you
You got the brains, the body, and the beauty
To top it off, you're cool
This ain't impossible
This ain't improbable
You are my baby tonight
And I'm your daddy
This ain't believable
This ain't predictable
You are my baby tonight
And I'm your daddy
I hope that I ain't freaking you out
You probably hear it all the time
I swear I ain't like those other boys
I'm a special kind
I would like to give a demonstration
Of what it is I do
I'll take you out to dinner at Palermo's
We'll split a cheese fondu
This ain't impossible
This ain't improbable
You are my baby tonight
And I'm your daddy
This ain't believable
This ain't predictable
You are my baby tonight
And I'm your daddy
I will ape a goombah
If you tire
Try my best to moonwalk
On the wire
I just want to, ooh ah,
Feel your fire
Feel your fire
Feel your fire!
This ain't impossible
This ain't improbable
You are my baby tonight
And I'm your daddy
This ain't believable
This ain't predictable
You are my baby tonight
And I'm your daddy
I'd party with my friends
But when I saw you grooving on the dance floor
Normal came to an end
We started talking and man, it was so clear to me
There's no one else like you
You got the brains, the body, and the beauty
To top it off, you're cool
This ain't impossible
This ain't improbable
You are my baby tonight
And I'm your daddy
This ain't believable
This ain't predictable
You are my baby tonight
And I'm your daddy
I hope that I ain't freaking you out
You probably hear it all the time
I swear I ain't like those other boys
I'm a special kind
I would like to give a demonstration
Of what it is I do
I'll take you out to dinner at Palermo's
We'll split a cheese fondu
This ain't impossible
This ain't improbable
You are my baby tonight
And I'm your daddy
This ain't believable
This ain't predictable
You are my baby tonight
And I'm your daddy
I will ape a goombah
If you tire
Try my best to moonwalk
On the wire
I just want to, ooh ah,
Feel your fire
Feel your fire
Feel your fire!
This ain't impossible
This ain't improbable
You are my baby tonight
And I'm your daddy
This ain't believable
This ain't predictable
You are my baby tonight
And I'm your daddy

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I'm pretty sure "spinach cheese fondue" should read "We'll split a cheese fondue"
And is "egg the goomba" a mario reference or something?
In Yoshi's island you could "egg a goomba" <br /> I am sure it is a Mario ref. It might not be what i said but it is one none the less.<br />
Hahahaha only Weezer could pull off "chese fondu" in a song!
Does this song sound kinda creepy to anyone else? "You're me baby tonight, and I'm your Daddy" Sounds stalker/pedophilish to me... Don't get me wrong, I love weezer. this song just kinda creeps me out...
It's not supposed to be creepy, but it is a sexual metaphor. You know, "Who's your Daddy?"

I heard somewhere that Rivers was inspired by his daughter Mia to write this song when she was in the hospital. I agree with ShadowLerche though. Seems to me he's talking about being smitten with a younger woman.
I've been blaring this song for the past week - love it!
The 'cheese fondue' part always makes me smile :-)
Yeah, you're right: Rivers came up with the phrase "You are my baby tonight, and I'm your daddy" the night his daughter was born. Strange that he ended up turning it into, like you said, a song about being smitten.
He may have come up with the phrase when he thought about his daughter, but if you listen to the whole song, from the very 1st line... he's talking about going out and seeing this awesome, intelligent, hot girl and falling for her. The line "You are my baby tonight, and I'm your daddy" is a reference to him calling the woman "baby" and the whole "Who's your daddy?" sexual type thing. I don't see anywhere in the song where it makes any reference to her being younger.
