Lyrics

Game Size

celebrate, celebrate
every night's the night
celebrate, we celebrate
what a groovin' night

You wanna fly to the moon in the sky
You wanna shake up your body
wonderland awaits you there
I know you never regret

lookin' for a vision
You don't need to reason
ah, ah
some say you gonna
some say you wanna be there
it's all good

celebrate, celebrate
every night's the night
celebrate, we celebrate
what a groovin' night

knocking on heaven's door
lovely misty serenade it's all there

celebrate, celebrate
every night's the night
celebrate, we celebrate
what a groovin' night...

Song Production Information

dj nagureo

In this Soul Classic song produced by dj nagureo, complex horn sections and soulful vocals make you feel nostalgic.
I was surprised to have learned about a player who happens to be an acquaintance of the artist involved, JJ COMPANY is a very high-profile staff member. The fancy arrangement makes it interesting for games as well.
beatmania takes a step into the 70s with this song, who knows what else the future holds?
