I love Jeff Beck! The video for “Ambitious” is pure fun full of delightful cameos! Check it out and see for yourself.
My favorites are Marilyn McCoo, Jon Butcher and Donny Osmond! Yes, I know. He was great in it, trust me.
The best part comes during McCoo’s performance and Jeff does that shooting sound effect with his guitar.
Ambitious
by Jeff Beck
Here is a rich boy, a bit of a brat,
To him life’s just a fling.
Phi Beta Kappa and first in his class,
He’s treated just like a king.
And he says, “I’m not sure what it is I must have
so I guess I’ll just take everything”.
He’s just ambitious,
He’s not a bad man,
He’s just ambitious.
He’s not a bad man,
Just ambitious.
Whooah, yeah!
Just ambitious.
Here is a young girl, born down and out,
Locked up in jail when she was ten.
Now in the courtroom, she’s got a bit of doubt,
Sits on the judge side of the bench.
She’s just ambitious,
She’s not a bad girl,
She’s just ambitious.
She’s not a bad girl,
Just ambitious.
Whooah, yeah!
Just ambitious.
Here is a wild man who thirsts for a fight,
And his cool streak gets him by.
All these four-letter words in his mind,
Here is a man who’ll survive.
He’s just ambitious,
He’s just a wild man,
He’s just ambitious.
He’s just a wild man,
Just ambitious.
Whooah, yeah!
Just ambitious.
Here is a wild man who thirsts for a fight,
Just ambitious.
Always a four-letter word in his mind,
Just ambitious.
Don’t you know, I’m just ambitious,
I’m not a bad man, just ambitious.
I’m not a bad man, just ambitious.
Whooah, yeah!
Just ambitious.
I’m not a bad man, just ambitious.
I’m not a bad man, just ambitious.
I’m not a bad man, just ambitious.
