1) ""Fire" is a song written by Bruce Springsteen and originally intended for use by Elvis Presley. It was first recorded by Robert Gordon in 1978, who received some modest album oriented rock radio airplay with it. It was then recorded and released by The Pointer Sisters later in 1978, who gained a major hit from it, reaching number two in early 1979 on the U.S. pop chart. Although he performed the song live from his 1978 tour onwards, Springsteen himself did not release his own recording of the song until his 1986 Live/1975-85 album, which contains his (heavily edited, to eliminate on-stage hijinks) 1978-12-16 performance. This version was released as a single (which contained the only "official" live version of "Incident on 57th Street", until its appearance on Live in Barcelona, as B-side), but did not succeed, reaching only number 46 on the U.S. pop chart. A music video for the song was released at the time, but confusingly showed a completely unrelated 1986 acoustic performance at a Bridge School Benefit concert. "Fire" was recorded again by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Des'ree in 1998, for the soundtrack of Hav Plenty. Robin Williams parodies "Fire" in the voice of Elmer Fudd. ( "I'm dwivin' in my cah / I tuwn on the wadio ... 'Cause when we ki-i-i-iss / FIWE!" )" Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_%28Bruce_Springsteen_song%29 2) Here the text of the version as Bruce Springsteen's version, "originally given to the Pointer Sisters"; the roles are changed in that version: "I’m driving in *my* car, I turn on the radio *I’m* pulling *you* close, *you* just say no You say you don’t like it, but girl I know you’re a liar `Cause when we kiss, Fire" Source and further text: http://www.brucespringsteen.it/DB/sd3.aspx?sid=168 3) Among others, the versions with modified lyrics was sung by: - "the Pointer Sisters" - "Ghost of the Robot" http://moodpoint.com/lyrics/ghost_of_the_robot/fire.html - "Christina Stürmer" http://www.completealbumlyrics.com/lyric/97812/Christina+St%FCrmer+-+Fire!.html Fire ~ Pointer Sisters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDKNnJUP2FI Icaraí Beach in Nikiti - Robert Gordon w/ Link Wray - Fire http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOoP6REXVBg Bruce Springsteen - Fire http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5PoIrcyd34
