About Fire

"Fire" is a hit song by R&B/funk band Ohio Players. The song was the opening track from the album of the same name and hit #1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 (where it was succeeded by Linda Ronstadt's "You're No Good") and the Hot Soul Singles chart in early 1975. It spent five weeks atop the soul chart. "Fire" was the Ohio Players' only entry on the new disco/dance chart, where it peaked at #10. The tune is considered to be the band's signature song along with "Love Rollercoaster. " The song was recorded at Mercury Records' Chicago-based studio. While performing it in California, the band let Stevie Wonder hear the basic track for the song and he predicted that it would become a big hit. The song is noted for its sound of a siren recorded from a fire truck, heard at the beginning, as well as in the instrumental break in the middle. The edited version avoided much of the repetition of the music. A cover of the song was released by Canadian new wave band Platinum Blonde on their third album Contact in 1987. Another cover, also from 1987, is featured on the album Rhythm Killers by Sly and Robbie, produced by Bill Laswell. For their 2014 album For the Love of Money, industrial hip hop outfit Tackhead covered the song. It is currently used as the theme song to the FOX reality series Hell's Kitchen. It was also featured in the fifteenth episode of the fourth season of Gotham. more »

Fire! Fire

The way you walk and talk
Really sets me off
To a full alarm child
The way you squeeze, tease
Knocks me to my knees
Cause I'm smoking baby
The way you swing, curves
Really racks my nerves
I'm so excited child
The way you push, push
Lets me know that you're the girl for me
(you're gonna get your wish)

Fire, Fire Fire, Fire

When you shake what you've got
And girl you've got a lot
You're really something child
When you're hot, you're hot
You really shoot your shot
You're dynamite, dynamite yeah

Fire, Fire Fire, Fire

Got me burning, got me burning Got me burning, got me burning

Well, I can tell by your game
You're gonna start a flame
In my heart
I'm gonna choke from the smoke
When you tighten up your stroke
Can you feel it, girl

Fire, Fire
Fire, Fire
