Overnight Sensation Lyrics


Well I know it sounds funny
But I'm not in it for the money, no
I don't need no reputation
And I'm not in it for the showI just want a hit record
Want to hear it on the radio
Want a big hit record
One that everybody's got to knowWell the program director don't pull it
Then it's bound to get back the bullet
So bring the group down to the station
You're gonna be an overnight sensationI've been tryin' to write the lyric
Not offensive but satiric, too
If you can get it in the A slot
It's just gotta make a mint for youAnd I want a hit record
Want to hear it on the radio
Want a big hit record
One that everybody's got to ownOvernight sensationI fit the words to a good melody
Amazing how success has been ignoring me so long
I've used my bread making demos all day

And writing in the night while in my head I hear
The record play, hear it playHit record, yeah
Want a hit record, yeah
Want a hit record, yeah
Want a hit record, yeah
...

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Eric Carmen (former singer of The Raspberries) is best known for his first single All By Myself (released in 1976) and his 1987 comeback single Hungry Eyes (written by J. DeNicola and F. Previte for the Dirty Dancing soundtrack). The former, a power ballad penned by Eric, was based on a classical theme by Sergei Rachmaninoff. It was more recently covered by Celine Dion and used in the familiar opening scene of Bridget Jones's Diary.
