Hi.

This is a music topic.
Do you know the Freddie Mercury solo album "Mr. Bad Guy"?.
Well, the first song in the album is "Let's turn it on".

Can someone tell me the meaning of "Let's turn it on"??...

Thanks.

The full lyric says:

quote:
Let's turn it on, and get everybody thinking,
Thinking, thinking,
Let's turn it on, everybody song and dancing,
Dancing, dancing,
Let's turn it on, all the people got to get the
Right impression
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on,
Why don't we turn it on and let's stop every-
Body fighting.
Let's get it on, let's get everybody jumping,
Let's get it on and get everybody stamping,
Let's get it on, all the people got to get the
Right impression,
Let's get it on, turn it on,
And let's get everybody dancing.

Let's turn it on, yeah
Nobody is giving it up, yeah, yeah, everybody
Is living it up, yeah
Everybody is living it up, living it up, let's turn
It on,
Yeah, nobody is giving it up, everybody is
Living it up, yeah,
Everybody is living it up
Let's turn it on, turn it on, yeah
Dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing

Let's get it on and get everybody swinging
Let's get it on, get right into that lovely
Feeling,
Let's turn it on, yeah, come on all you people
Get together,
Turn it on, turn it on, and let's get everybody
Dancing.

Turn it on and get everybody happy,
Let's get it on, let's make everybody happy,
Let's get it on, come on all you, all you happy
People together,
Turn it on, yeah, turn it on, turn it on
Let's make everybody crazy!

I think it similar to the wording "It's turning me on" but in non-sexual things.

So "Let's turn it on" can be an invitation to a crowd in order making a friendly (warm) environment.
