Lucassen says, “For me the 70s were the Golden Age of music. But that’s purely personal! If I had been born 10 years later, I guess it could have been the 80s. Anyway, in these lyrics I describe how I used to lie in bed under the blankets and secretly listen to pirate radio stations like Radio Caroline on a little transistor radio. Those pirate stations played all kinds of weird underground music, and I Ioved it! I also loved 1970s fashion, with the colourful shirts and bell-bottom jeans.
"And of course, I watched all the wrong TV series, like ‘Charlie’s Angels’ with the lovely Farrah Fawcett! Daisy D is of course Daisy Duke from the somewhat questionable series ‘Dukes of Hazzard’. The name-dropping becomes quite obvious in the 2nd verse, where references are made to T Rex, Rainbow, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper and Thin Lizzy. And of course, Jaycee loved singing the line "JC’s a superstar!" (Even though I obviously had another JC in mind).”
