Throwback Thursday: Pat Travers – Boom Boom Out Go the Lights
Pat Travers – Boom Boom Out Go the Lights
Album: The Best of Pat Travers
Released: 1983
Studio and live versions of “Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights)” were recorded by Pat Travers. Both uptempo with fine axework, one might think, this was a happy sort of song. In fact it has a somewhat dark origin, with the lyrics revealing that it is actually about spousal abuse; the boom is the punch, and out go the young lady’s lights.
