From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"New Sensation" is a song by Australian pop group INXS. It was the third single from their 1987 album Kick. The music was written by Andrew Farriss and the lyrics by Michael Hutchence. The song reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, #9 in Australia, #15 in the UK, and #8 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks in the US.
The song features a signature Kirk Pengilly sax solo and lyrics about a partying lifestyle. The first line "Live, baby, live", was later referenced in the title of the bands's 1991 release Live Baby Live.
[edit] Trivia
- The song was used in a commercial for SeaWorld in 1998, shortly after Hutchence's death.
- Hutchence incorrectly calls out for "TRUMPET!" before Kirk Pengilly's sax solo.
