Turn Your Head
(words and music by Rick Springfield) 

Day in, day out
(turn your head)
I'll follow you about
(turn your head)
I'm gonna break you
(turn your head)
I've got to make you
turn....your.....head

You Turn my head 'round
(turn your head)
I'm upside down
(turn your head)
I'm gonna shake you
(turn your head)
I've got to make you
turn....your.....head
turn and turn and turn and turn and turn and turn...

I want a car
(turn your head)
You just walked by
(turn your head)
I'm gonna seek you
(turn your head)
I g-got to reach you
(turn your head)
turn....your....head

Song Facts: This can be found on Zoot Out. It was the b-side to the single of Eleanor Rigby.

According to US

This is the first song I've heard by Zoot, so I really have nothing else in the way of Zoot to compare it to. I don't know what I expected…maybe something more be-boppy and not so guitar oriented. More pop-sounding is what I expected. But the guitars are AWESOME in this song! I really like it. My first reaction was just simply, "hmmm…" but by the 2nd listen, I was noticing things I like. I love the ominous tone as it starts out…with that low bass beat, and then the lead guitar kicks in. Is that Rick on the lead? It sounds masterful! Very classic rock sounding. That is a pretty cool part in the middle of the song when it kind of stops…then goes into a completely different beat & sound. For some reason, the guitars there make me think of Hendrix. That frenzied guitar that builds & builds and sounds almost confusing, but pleasing at the same time.

I also like Rick's young, accented voice here. The lyrics are far from the deep & meaningful songs I am used to when I think of Rick Springfield. That is about the only downfall in this song for me. Well, maybe not a "downfall," just not the better aspect of this particular song. He is wanting to catch someone's attention…"I'm gonna break you, I'm gonna make you---turn your head." (since when is it hard for him to get a woman's attention?? Does she really need nudging, to turn her head??!! LOL) - Kelley Pearson

Wow .... simply.... Wow! 
From the opening beats this one just caught me. It's strange not to know what part Rick is playing on this - but since he wrote the lyrics and music then even if it's not him singing or playing a certain part it's still HIM at the base. But this song makes me smile because I have always had this feeling that if Rick could get away with just jamming on his guitar on stage for 90 minutes he would take it. I think he enjoys the writing and singing of the songs - but he just seems to be most at peace and in all his glory whilst creating his incredible guitar licks. 

This song is much more about the feeling of the music - and the power of the guitar. Seems a bit silly for me to say (because it was a bit before 'my time')- but it feels very appropriate for it's time period. Seems like it would fit in quite well with a lot of 'classic rock'. The lyrics are very simple - the song has such a long intro I was beginning to wonder where they were. But the guitar and base are strong - and at times pretty intricate - that the simplicity of the lyrics melds right into them. And, in a way, the lyrics are just breaks between guitar riffs 

It amazed me to realize that the song is almost 5 minutes long! The beat just sucks you in and then time flies - although the song does end a bit abruptly. ~Jen H.

This is the first time I've heard of anything from Zoot, and I was a little taken back because I wasn't expecting such heavy guitars from a band that wore pink! I'm not crazy about the lyrics...maybe it's because it sounds so 60's (but then again it was the 60's!). It definitely sounds like a song that Rick would have written...he was always trying to get the girl! Out of all of Rick's talents, his writing abilities is what I enjoy the most. So it's interesting to see how his writing skills have evolved over the last 40 years.  - Charlotte P.
