Welcome to the jungle lyrics by Guns 'n' Roses

Welcome to the jungle

We got fun 'n' games

We got everything you want

Honey we know the names

We are the people that can find

Whatever you may need

If you got the money honey

We got your disease

Chorus:

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your shun n,n,n,n,,n,n,,n,n,n,,n,n,,n knees, knees

I wanna watch you bleed

Welcome to the jungle

We take it day by day

If you want it you're gonna bleed

But it's the price you pay

And you're a very sexy girl

That's very hard to please

You can taste the bright lights

But you won't get them for free

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Feel my, my, my serpentine

I, I wanna hear you scream

Welcome to the jungle

It gets worse here everyday

Ya learn ta live like an animal

In the jungle where we play

If you got a hunger for what you see

You'll take it eventually

You can have anything you want

But you better not take it from me

Chorus

And when you're high you never

Ever want to come down, so down, so down, so down YEAH!

You know where you are

You're in the jungle baby

You're gonna die

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your shu n,n,n,,n,n,,n,n,n,,n,n,,n,n,,n knees, knees

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Feel my, my, my serpentine

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your

"Welcome to the Jungle" is the first track from Guns N' Roses' debut album, Appetite for Destruction, and also on their Greatest Hits album. The song peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming their first significant hit single. Origins

"Welcome to the Jungle" was written by singer Axl Rose and Slash. (Slash considers it the first song the band ever wrote together.) According to Rose, the inspiration for the lyrics came from an encounter he and a friend had with a homeless man while they were coming out of a bus into New York. [1] Trying to put a scare into the young runaways, the man yelled at them, "You know where you are? You're in the jungle baby; you're gonna die!" This incident inspired the main lyrical declaration for the song. The eponymous line was also featured in the 1984 song "Underwater World" by the Finnish glam punk band Hanoi Rocks, whom Rose has acknowledged as inspiration. While the New York incident inspired the lyrics, the song was written in Seattle, and described Los Angeles. In a 1988 interview with Hit Parader magazine, Rose stated, "I wrote the words in Seattle. It's a big city, but at the same time it's still a small city compared to L.A. and the things that you're gonna learn. It seemed a lot more rural up there. I just wrote how it looked to me. If someone comes to town and they want to find something, they can find whatever they want." Musically, Slash describes the development of the song in his autobiography, Slash. As the band was sitting around trying to come up with new material, Axl remembered a riff Slash had played while he was living in the basement of Slash's mother's house. Slash played it and the band quickly laid down the foundations for the song, as Slash kept on coming up with new guitar parts for it. He credits Duff McKagan as coming up with the breakdown. According to Slash, the song was written in about three hours, and was arranged virtually the same way as on the album right there. Video

In spite of the early morning airtime, the clip caught viewers' attention and quickly became MTV's most requested video. The video and single received another boost of publicity when "Welcome to the Jungle" was featured in The Dead Pool in the summer of 1988. It depicts scenes of Axl Rose getting off a bus, not wanting to do with any hedonistic activities. TV screens are seen depicting urban violence and we first see a set of TVs behind a store window, which Slash is sitting beneath, showing a screaming man. Axl is also seen in his glam rock attire while performing with his bandmates. By the end of the video, the once-meek Axl seen at the beginning has adopted his true rockstar fatigues. References

It would be classed as heavy rock, or heavy metal.

The very popular song, "Welcome to the Jungle" was written by Axel Rose of the rock group, Guns N Roses. It apparently only took him about 3 hours to write it.
