“One of the Swing styles I haven’t really tackled that much that I very much wanted to was major scale, less pentatonic 1940’s Golden Era, Big Band Swing. It’s difficult to arrange something for 8 instruments that gives you that Big Band feeling. But in “Thrill Thing” I tried to go for a lite feeling confection that utilizes both Boogie Woogie and stride piano. I used a 3 piece, faux Andrews Sisters in the call and response of the refrain that helps with the vibe. I haven’t written a lot of mid tempo dance grooves for the setlist either and this ticks that box nicely. Lyrically, this is another “My girl is red hot” appreciation song. On this record there is a lot of trying to tie in the “primal” to what is popularly thought of as a buttoned up, bloodless genre. I’m trying to show the undercurrents that flow into the exuberance of Swing, I guess.” - Steve Perry

Lyrics
I love a freckled face
I’ve landed a spitfire
She dumbfounds all the rubes
Who circle like a choir
She’s got a way about her
You’ll find vivacious
But she don’t wanna play with some old flat tire
Thrill thing
Living on the wing
She’s the one I fling around
She hears that rhythm daddio
Then she's gotta swing and shout
Go insane on her runway
And she’ll respond so loud
She’s my thrill thing
Ring a ding ding (my thrill thing) x2
Ring a ding ding x4
They come from far and wide
To see my lover stride
And chase her lost balloons
Across the countryside
But children you're still building
Sand feather castles
She’s got more to shine
Than you all combined
Thrill thing
Living on the wing
She’s the one I fling around
She hears that rhythm daddio
Then we go to swing and shout
Go insane on her runway
And she’ll respond so loud
She’s my thrill thing
Ring a ding ding (my thrill thing) x2
Ring a ding ding x4
My thrill thing
