There isn't really an official meaning to this song, which makes me kind of sad. Seger's main intention in this song was to have a fun song that everyone would enjoy. With this one, he really hit a home run! I think this song is super fun to listen to, and it really makes a person want to dance.
This song is a classic, and is featured in the movie Risky Business where Tom Cruise is featured dancing in his undies, black old style shades, and a white button up shirt. A lot of people recognize this song as being charismatic and funky. Seger really showed how to take a pointless song and show everyone how much fun you can have with it!
"Old Time Rock and Roll" by Bob Seger
Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by m'self
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock and roll
Don't try to take me to a Disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In 10 minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock and roll
Still like that old time rock and roll
The kinda music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock and roll
Won't go to hear 'em play a Tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playin' old time rock and roll
Call me a relic call me what'cha will
Say I'm old fashioned say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock and roll
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Still like that old time rock and roll
