Why, yes, that is a cowbell you hear in the background. Now I just need an arena rock band.
lyrics
v1:
You hear the knockin' on your back door
Your friends are here, you don't remember what for
I'm here to tell you that music lifts you off of the floor
-----
It's time to spread a little noise & cheer
It doesn't matter what time of year
Turn it up and watch your worries start to disappear
...now listen here
ch:
It's alright to light up the night
Gonna have a good time
It's OK to play all day
No, I don't mind
v2:
Before you know it, it's half past 10
And at this point, there's no why or when
You've got a night full of good times, no need to pretend
-----
You check your watch, it's a quarter to 3
The lights are out, but you're still able to see
You got a tiger by the tail, you've got to set that thing free
...now listen to me
ch:
It's alright to light up the night
Gonna have a good time
It's OK to play all day
No, I don't mind
- a whole bunch of guitar solos -
ch:
It's alright to light up the night
Gonna have a good time
It's OK to play all day
No, I don't mind
ch:
It's alright to light up the night
Gonna have a good time
It's OK to play all day
No, I don't mind
