The new song includes an opening introduction from none other than English comedy legend John Cleese, whose dramatic delivery sets the tone for what follows … lyrics like these:

If you’re looking for fun – turn the music on – let’s light a real big fire
If you wanna blast – lets kick some ass and raise the roof a little bit higher
If you need rush, grab your favourite crush – gotta go against the grain
If you’re here for the show and you’re ready to go – lets ride this crazy train

If you like kick ass rockin’ music – we’re a kick ass rockin’ band
If ya can’t play a lick – just play anything
Raise hell and clap your hands
Spread the word – bring your friends – the whole wide world is joining in
If you love some kick ass rockin’ music – we’re a kick ass rockin’ band

Co-written by Adams and famed music producer Mutt Lange, it’s a rock and roll party:
