**Catch Us If You Can – The Dave Clark Five**
The Dave Clark Five, a British rock band that rose to prominence in the mid-1960s, left an indelible mark on the music scene with their energetic performances and catchy tunes. One of their most beloved songs, “Catch Us If You Can,” is a quintessential example of their upbeat style and infectious energy.
Released in 1964, “Catch Us If You Can” is a high-tempo number that showcases the band’s youthful exuberance and their ability to craft memorable melodies. The song’s driving rhythm, coupled with Clark’s powerful vocals, creates a sense of urgency and excitement that immediately grabs the listener’s attention. The lyrics, while simple in their structure, paint a vivid picture of a group of young people living life to the fullest, free from any constraints or responsibilities.
The song’s opening lines, “We’re young and we’re free, and we’re happy as can be,” immediately set the tone for the rest of the track. The band’s carefree attitude is infectious, and it’s easy to imagine the audience dancing and singing along to the upbeat tempo. The chorus, with its repetitive chant of “Catch us if you can,” reinforces the theme of youthful freedom and defiance.
One of the most striking aspects of “Catch Us If You Can” is the band’s tight harmonies and energetic guitar riffs. The interplay between the instruments and vocals creates a rich and textured sound that is both exhilarating and satisfying.

Lyrics
Here they come again, mhm
Catch us if you can, mhm
Time to get a move on, mhm
We will yell with all of our might
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Now we gotta run, mhm
No more time for fun, mhm
When we’re getting angry, mhm
We will yell with all of our might
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Woah
Here they come again, mhm
Catch us if you can, mhm
Time to get a move on, mhm
We will yell with all of our might
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
Catch us if you can
