Summer 86- Vacation Love

Verse 1 (short & snappy) Heat on the shoreline, neon on the sea, Skate shoes on the boardwalk, you were looking back at me. Postcard heartbeat, midnight on the coast, DJ lights are calling—dancefloor is our host. Pre-Chorus Hands up—don’t wait, the summer’s in the mix, Every beat a promise—1986. Chorus (sticky + oh-oh stacks) Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh—vacation love! Oh-oh, turn it up—we can’t get enough! Oh-oh, side by side—under Italian skies, New love tonight—oh-oh, we come alive! Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh—vacation love! Oh-oh, feel the rush—never give it up! German boy, Russian girl—hearts in stereo, Summer ’86—oh-oh, Italo! Verse 2 (keep it lean) Polaroid pictures, salt upon your skin, Walkman plays our secret—bass keeps pulling in. Vespas by the corner, laughter in the night, Clap on two and four—everything feels right. Pre-Chorus Hands up—don’t wait, the summer’s in the mix, Every beat a promise—1986. Chorus (repeat, bigger stacks) Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh—vacation love! Oh-oh, turn it up—can’t get enough! Oh-oh, side by side—under Italian skies, New love tonight—oh-oh, we come alive! Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh—vacation love! Oh-oh, feel the rush—never give it up! German boy, Russian girl—hearts in stereo, Summer ’86—oh-oh, Italo! Break / Call & Response (crowd + toms) Crowd: Hey! — Lead: Jump! Crowd: Hey! — Lead: Jump! Whisper vox (layered): oh-oh… oh-oh… oh-oh… Bridge (short, soaring) Sunset city glowing, rhythm in our veins, Every kiss a chorus—play it once again. Final Chorus (double — maximum oh-ohs & ad-libs) Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh—vacation love! (come on!) Oh-oh, turn it up—can’t get enough! (turn it up!) Oh-oh, side by side—under Italian skies, New love tonight—oh-oh, we come alive! Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh—vacation love! Oh-oh, feel the rush—never give it up! German boy, Russian girl—hearts in stereo, Summer ’86—oh-oh, Italo! (oh-oh-oh-oh!) Tag (fade with stacks) Oh-oh… oh-oh… oh-oh… (toms + clap 2/4 to end)
