Danny from Sydney, AustraliaThis is a great song, but with possibly the worst guitar solo ever.

But Steve Miller was BLUES in the 60's! can't picture.so woozy.but so was Fleetwood Mac.Even more woozy.

Johnny from Los Angeles, CaI've never seen the music video and I have forgotten the guitar solo, so i don't have much common ground for talking.

Not much of a sweet talker, are ya stevey?

Jesse from Haddam, Ct When they were writing this song, they must have had a mseeage from God or sumthin/ 'Hmm, what do we rhyme abracadabra with'? BING! 'I wanna reach out and grab ya of course! O ya that's really romantic.

Terry from Northampton, EnglandThis song is MAGIC!.

Someone get that man a songwriter's rhyming dictionary!!! C'mon, in 'Take the Money and Run' he rhymed Texas, Facts Is, Justice, and Taxes.

Brandon from Peoria, IlHey Jesse: Steve Miller was never the best rhymer in rock.

Kara from Cadillac, MiI heard (or read) somewhere that Ross Valory of Journey actually wrote the lyrics to this song.Other sites give credit to Steve Miller for the song but do not specify whether he wrote all of it or only the music. Still have not verified if Valory actually wrote the lyrics to Abracadabra. Kara from Cadillac, MiThe first prominent rock band that Ross Valory appeared in was the Steve Miller Blues Band when their album Rock Love was released in September 1971.K from Toronto, CanadaHmmmm.'Abra-Abracadabra.I wanna strip ya and jab ya.' Or.'Abra-Abracadabra.I'm gonna stalk ya and nab ya.' Or.'Abra-Abracadabra.I'll take this bread knife and stab ya.'.Joshua from Twin Cities, MnJesse and Brandon: At least they didn't cheat by rhyming a word or phrase with itself, like they did in 'The Joker' (where they 'rhymed' 'the Gangster of Love' with the infamous phrase 'the pompitus of love').Eddie from Acton, MeAccording to Steve himself, he had Diana Ross in mind when he wrote the lyrics.Karl from Akron,, OhHey Brandon, you have to admit even though Steve Miller is no great poet, he did manage to get Joker, Smoker and Toker all in the same verse.Ryan from Farmer City, IlIs it just me or does it sound like he's saying 'AbracaDEBRA' in it when he sings 'Abracadabra'?.Is there an update? Or has it fallen into the big bit-bucket of history? Did anybody else hear that, or was it my imagination? *** VIDA/LA-That's great! But that URL no longer works. Fred from Laurel, MdRyan/IL, I'm glad you mentioned that-I sorta thought I was hearing him say, 'Debra-cadabra' at times! What I don't remember is, whether I heard it while listening to the song, or later replaying it in my head, with free-form variations/mutilations.With the guy who looks like Robin from Batman. Jennifer Harris from Grand Blanc, MiThis is my favorite Steve Miller Song! I also love the video to it.

Eric from Beaverton, OrIs it just me, or does part of this song (toward the end) sound like part of the theme song to the TV show M.A.S.H.?.Apparently, it rode the top 100 for many, many weeks. Paul from Detroit, MiThis song made Billboards list of the top selling 100 singles of the past 50 years, although it only stayed at #1 for two non-consecutive weeks.What few lyrics there are sound like a kindergartener wrote them. Esskayess from Dallas, TxSMD made a lot of great songs.But abracadabra, just like that the Steve Miller Band reclaimed the #1 spot for one more week!!! Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn September 4th, 1982 'Abracadabra' became #1 for one week, then 'Hard to Say I'm Sorry' by Chicago became #1 for two weeks.Bmn from Hisuan, ArgentinaTo Vida, Los Angeles, Ca -Maybe you should reach out and grab her.It DOES sound like the end theme to M*A*S*H! Good ears! Dave from Wheaton, IlEric, you're right.

Steve from Tempe, AzMy understanding is that most of the lyrics were inspired by two preschool playing 'patty-cake' at a kindergarten near his home.I still remember dancing to this at my junior high dances. T-rose from Ottawa, OntarioGreat song.(persistence was a good quality to have, back then, in lieu of mansion money) George from Vancouver, Canada'I wanna reach out & grab ya' add this tothe list of classic rock songs that glorify stalking! (J/King - stalking then wasn't what it is now-then, the guy dreamed of getting a smnile now they only dream of catching them naked) back themn women tested their men by seeing if he would 'stalk' her if she dumped him.George from Vancouver, CanadaRyan: that vowel (dabra vs debra) is basically a schwa - the vowel that kind of just disappears & is interpreted however the listener wants) did you know a magical woman named Debra?.Ambassador Alice from HtownAbad, it's way cool!.
