Synopsis
The video centers around an adventure that Kesha starts with her companions. It begins with Kesha dressed in a pink checkerboard shirt sucking a lollipop in a restaurant where the restaurant's manager, Richard (whose name-tag is styled Ri¢hard with a cent sign, similar to the way Kesha's name is Ke$ha with a dollar sign), says to her, "You're late again." She appears to be a worker in the diner. A man then asks her for coffee; she then replies with a nod from side-to-side, and she drops her lollipop in his cup and says, "I quit." Richard then tells Kesha, "You can't quit, you're fired!" Kesha exits the restaurant where she appears to be waiting on a bench for an automobile. Suddenly, there is a flash in the sky, and a van with the words "Dream Maker" on it, decorated as a cat, appears. Once the van has arrived, Kesha opens the door, and the driver seems to be a giant cat. The song starts playing when the driver inserts an 8-track tape labelled, "C'mon." It is revealed that passengers of the van include other furry animals there are a lot of people dressed in animals at some scenes. Shots of Kesha is the back interior of the van follow, showing her dancing, bathing, sitting and lying on her bed. She and the "animals" later enter a shop where they ruin glasses, piñatas, and shelves, and they steal things. Kesha kisses the store's manager, who then turns into a gray kitten. Another scene shows her on a dance floor. During the middle-eight, Kesha is riding on a motorcycle. In the final scene, she and her friends invade the restaurant from before and dance.

Lyrics
Saw you leaning against that old record machine
Saw the name of your band written on the marquee
It's a full moon tonight so we getting rowdy
Yeah we getting rowdy, g-g-getting rowdy
Feeling like I'm a high schooler
Sipping on a warm wine cooler
Hot 'cause the party don't stop
I'm in a crop top
Like I'm working at hooters
We been keeping it PG
But I wanna get a little frisky
Come gimme some of that yum like a lollipop
Let me set you free
C'mon 'cause I know what I like
And you're looking just like my type
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Now don't even try to deny
We're both going home satisfied
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Write our names on the wall in the back of the bar
Steal some bubblegum from the corner Maxi-Mart
Yeah, we laughing like kids causing trouble in the dark
Causing trouble in the dark, t-t-trouble in the dark
Feeling like a saber-toothed tiger
Sipping on a warm Budweiser
Touch me and give me that rush
Better pack a toothbrush
Gonna pull an all-nighter
We been keeping it kosher
But I wanna get it on for sure
Come gimme some of that yum like a lollipop
Baby don't be scared
C'mon 'cause I know what I like
And you're looking just like my type
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Now don't even try to deny
We're both going home satisfied
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
I don't wanna go to sleep
I wanna stay up all night
I wanna just screw around
I don't wanna think about
What's gonna be after this
I wanna just live right now
I don't wanna go to sleep
I wanna stay up all night
I wanna just screw around
I don't wanna think about
What's gonna be after this
I wanna just live right now
(C'mon)
C'mon 'cause I know what I like
And you're looking just like my type
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Now don't even try to deny
We're both going home satisfied
Let's go for it just for tonight
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
