I love this song and have ever since I was little. I cannot stop picturing Lucy Liu in that black leather catsuit from Charlie's Angels whenever i hear this song now haha.
My mom would listen to Heart in the car when she was dropping me off at school or wherever and I grew up listening to it in the 90's when it was no longer popular. So I would go to school and be like "Hey listen to this song, it's by Heart you've heard it right?" and the other kids didn't know wtf I was talking about but the teachers went nuts and wanted to borrow my cd's so they could rip them to their computers lol.
This song should be used in a commercial along side the 2011 Dodge Charger....Every time I see this car I hear the song Barracuda.....Maybe it's because often there's a State Trooper behind the wheel....Either way it's a timeless song that's a gift to mankind......Thank you Ann and Nancy HEART!.
@smilejeep I owned a 67 Barracuda with a 340 / 4 speed / formula S model. Ended up rolling and crashing her. Life a bitch sometimes and I wish I had that baby blue fastback back in my arms again. I like you when I hear this song it makes me think of that speacial car.
WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT. Ann found out that a record executive/producer wanted to boost sales so he started a rumor that the two sisters were sexual with each other. Ann wrote the lyrics out of anger....
@royalnaz1 She has a medical problem that caused her to gain the weight, which is out of her control, and pretty much almost ruined her life and the band. What happened to you to make you such a heartless prick?
@FireoftheGreeks Uh, no, she doesn't have a legit medically problem. Some people DO have real problems that keep them overweight, she just doesn't have self control.
"As a child, Ann was teased for being overweight. She revealed that in the 1970s she would starve herself to stay thin. When Heart created a comeback in the mid-1980s, Ann had gained significant weight. Fearing it would compromise the band's image, record company executives and band members began pressuring her to lose weight."
@FireoftheGreeks Good on you for saying it as it is. Anyway, it's the music we should be paying attention to, not what a person looks like, I guess petty people have to put others down to make themselves feel good. Great and strong voice, love listening to the band.
When I first heard this song, I was freaked out. I mean, I'm thirteen and I have to sing this song in front of four hundred people in six weeks. Scary shiz. But after a while... well, this is an amazing song! I LOVE it!
Music today hasn't gone down the drain. Music ON THE RADIO has gone down the drain. There's plenty of good music if you take the time to look for it. It's really easy to look back at the past fondly, since the crap fades away and the greatest songs are all that remain.
after the first time i heard this song, i came up with a goal. One day, i will create a school, have the mascot be the Barracudas, and then at the Pep rallies, i will play this epic song for the awesomest pep rally in the history of the planet.
i love this song i can remeber when i was 5 my mom would have this turned up loud in her car thinking she was the shit she was only 19 at the time and it was back in 1989 lol !!!!
Yeah, I kind of agree. There are some similar parts, but I don't think they copied them or anything. Love both bands! (Though NOBODY beats Zeppelin =) )
Has anyone ever noticed that "Barracuda" sorta-kinda recalls Led Zeppelin's "Achilles Last Stand". For example, the rhythmic feel of both songs are identical. The bridge vocal melody & the guitar solo knock-off one of the more important guitar melodies from "Achilles".
Heart was awesome! My favorite song by them is Magic Man though. I checked this today cuz I can't wait to see that one chic audition with this song on American Idol Season Premiere tonight. She looks like she might need a make-over but she seems to do a decent job of the song...We'll see if they make her look like a "STAH"!
Yeah, I heard she was in a band. Some might be jealous...Some might be happy for her. Maybe she'll be successful and take her band with her later...Didn't Daughtry do that? Didn't Bo Bice or somebody leave their band for AI Dreams? Pink left her band cuz they only wanted her. The front man always seems to get lured away some way or another in many cases, but then many stayed for the duration. Am I rambling on and on? =)
Mercy... I've loved Nancy W. for sooo long. : ) Cameron.....you are one very blessed man.
