Hey, little sister, what have you done?
Hey, little sister, who's the only one?
Hey, little sister, who's your Superman?
Hey, little sister, who's the one you want?
Hey, little sister, shotgun!
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again
Hey, little sister, who is it you're with? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Hey, little sister, what's your vice or wish? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Hey, little sister, shotgun, oh yeah
Hey, little sister, who's your Superman?
Hey, little sister, shotgun!
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again, ow!
"Pick it up!
Take me back home, yeah!"
Hey, little sister, what have you done? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Hey, little sister, who's the only one? (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I've been away for so long (So long)
I've been away for so long (So long)
I let you go for so long
It's a nice day to start again
C'mon, it's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again, ow!
There is nothing fair in this world, baby
There is nothing safe in this world
And there's nothing sure in this world
And there's nothing pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again
C'mon, it's a nice day for a white wedding, wow!
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day to start again
| martinc (Ottawa Canada) | Posted: Jul 11, 2012 - 11:30 I drove my buddy to his wedding in my 69 Opel GT with this on repeat, over and over again at volume setting 11. It's was a nice day to start again! |
| dw (PHill, CA) | Posted: May 29, 2012 - 15:19 Not my favorite Idol song but a good '80s classic.  "Eyes Without A Face" - love it! |
| zsoltzsolt | Posted: Dec 07, 2007 - 11:52 shock to the system.... please |
| scubadave (Ioway USA) | Posted: Dec 07, 2007 - 08:37 Wow- that was odd. Thanks for waking me up! |
| a_genuine_find (Planet Brueklen) | Posted: Dec 07, 2007 - 08:25 'there nothing sure in this world, there is nothing pure in the world/' Billy the sneering poet |
| rockasaurus | Posted: Dec 07, 2007 - 08:21 Billy Idol has always been something of a disappointment to me. A voice like that shouldn't have been wasted on poppy 80's dance music. |
| Gaylord_Meatface (Edmonton) | Posted: Dec 07, 2007 - 08:20 How... very..... unexpected on so many levels....  |
| EssexTex (Gros Islet) | Posted: Dec 07, 2007 - 08:19 "Shotgun"...."C-mown" |

Tell me that wasn't punk. and let's not get into a "what's punk" deal, because it's Pabst Blue Ribbon under the bridge. Yep. The old discussion about 'what is punk' has never had any meaning due to different circumstances in Europe and USA. Btw: To mention 'Gen. X' pulls me on your side.  |
| Ando (behind your couch) | Posted: Nov 05, 2007 - 23:15 The song is good, but I agree, pairing it w/the Reverend Green is an insult. C'mon Bill, fix the lineup please... Wizzuvv_oz wrote: Oh.........
And he paired them twice. OK, what have you done with Bill G, podcreature? ed: Back to back again. Buzzkill |

Have you ever noticed what he's been able to do with this face during his videos?

| Whirlpool (Somewhere in California) | Posted: Oct 05, 2007 - 12:53 C'mon this song is awesome. |
| blove (Shevegas,WI) | Posted: Oct 05, 2007 - 12:48 All I can picture is the coffin nails hit to the beat of the song in the video. Do 13 year old kids see MTV as cool now as I did back in 1984? Another 80's guilty pleasure for me. |

His behaviour was just a ridiculous show. Though the song still rocks.  But Billy Idol was so cool in Generation X. Tell me that wasn't punk. and let's not get into a "what's punk" deal, because it's Pabst Blue Ribbon under the bridge. |
| d00kie (In Cubicle Hell!) | Posted: Oct 05, 2007 - 12:40  mmmm... not so much... |
| sutcliff (Saint Louis) | Posted: Oct 05, 2007 - 12:39 What have I done to offend the RP gods?  |
| SuperWeh (8°41'36.49, 115° 9'34.58) | Posted: Sep 04, 2007 - 02:14 this song reminds me a lot of Kiss' "I was made for loving you"; cheesy attitude disco/rock but still quite catchy. |

Bill's never been a Punk....

| E_A_D_G (DC) | Posted: Jun 01, 2007 - 19:46 Billy in his prime. Props to Steve Stevens - killer riffs. |

| winnetoe | Posted: May 01, 2007 - 10:03 Oh! I remember hitchiking in France 10 years a go, when my girlfriend and I got a ride from a lady who was driving from the south of France back to Paris. Her relationship just ended, her tiny car was filled with goods, there was hardly any place for us and the radio was playing this song.. It was indeed a nice day to start again. |

| Ja300Mes (North Fork, Long Island) | Posted: Mar 30, 2007 - 19:18 Why? Why this? Ugh... Oh yeah, God is not running RP, only mere mortals. All is forgiven. |
| biodiesel (Just West of Bar Nunn) | Posted: Feb 27, 2007 - 13:51 Another GREAT song of the 80's! |
| davin (Victoria, British Columbia) | Posted: Feb 27, 2007 - 13:50 YES |
| On_The_Beach (Vancouver, Canada) | Posted: Feb 27, 2007 - 13:49 Ack!! I had to check if I was still tuned to RP. No one (or no radio station) is perfect, I guess. |
| buddy0407 (In Los Angeles where the tide continues to rise...) | Posted: Feb 27, 2007 - 13:49 Personally, I think for the most part the 80's should stay there along with the cornballs who made it all so forgettable like this dude. |
| milehighYinzer (717 E. Colfax Ave, Denver) | Posted: Feb 27, 2007 - 13:49 I give this song a higher rating for bringing back the memories of watching videos with my brothers when MTV was cool. |
| dewinter (near Heidelberg, Germany) | Posted: Feb 27, 2007 - 13:48 F***ing Rock out! |
| Biichan (Santa Cruz CA) | Posted: Feb 11, 2007 - 23:37 
(That being said, I adore this song.) |
| capandjudy (Huntington, WV) | Posted: Jan 28, 2007 - 13:43 I think that the "spaghetti western" guitar makes this tune. Thanks Steve. |
| (former member) (Way down, below the ocean) | Posted: Jan 28, 2007 - 08:32 Here's what he's been doing lately. I have it, and it's as awful as you might think. Nonetheless, this older stuff has cojones. STEVE STEVENS! |
| bokey (Filialville) | Posted: Jan 28, 2007 - 08:19 I like this song and I don't care who knows it. |
| Stefen (West Hollywood, CA) | Posted: Jan 13, 2007 - 17:54 The first time I heard this was as an aerobics tune. It still makes ya' move! |

"The Wedding Singer" rules! 
So does this song. |

| slowhand (South!!!!!!!!!!) | Posted: Dec 15, 2006 - 15:59 Was a true rebel...would give the bird to anyone he wanted. Mr Stevens on guitar was awesome. |

The video kind of scared me way back when, actually. I much prefer the song now than I did back then. |
