Day 8: Hell on Wheels

She sings, she acts and she can even skate backwards! The music video for "Hell on Wheels" was one of the very first modern music videos to be produced back in 1979, and you can see Cher show off her rollerskating prowess in it!

Well I'm hell on wheels
I'm a roller mama
I can slide down places that you never knew
Try me on for size, at the rollerama
If you tie my laces. then I'll follow you,
follow you, follow you, Oh
 

See something I like,
gonna go for it
See something I want,
I'm gonna go after it
See something I like,
gonna go for it
See something I want,
Let's roll
hell on wheels, let's roll
Come on and roll with me
I roll till quarter to three yeah
And let's rock
hell on wheels, let's rock
Come on and rock it with me
I'll make you feel so free, yeah,
Look out, look out, look out

Well I'm hell on wheels,
say I'm roller crazy
I won't go too fast, I won't go too far
We'll be high on wheels, if the room gets hazy
Just look out for me,
I'm your guiding star, guiding star, guiding star

See something you like, better go for it
See something you want, better get down on it
See something you like, better go for it
See something you want

Let's roll
hell on wheels, let's roll
Come on and roll with me
We'll roll till quarter to three, yeah
let's rock, hell on wheels, let's rock
Come on and rock it with me
I'll make you feel so free, yeah,
look out, look out, look out

If you see something you like,
better go for it
If you see something you want,
you better, get down on it
If I see something I like,
I'm gonna go for it
If I see something I want
You know I'm gonna get down on it
Cause I'm hell on wheels,
I'm a roll on mama
I can slide down places that you never knew
Try me on for size at the rollerama
If you tie my laces and I'll follow you
Follow you follow you
