I'm pretty sure that's right. Quite a depressing song, if I remember correctly.

Thanks Paul, and I agree it was a bit miserable but it had a catchy tune.

Just listened to Labelled With Love and it's probably even more depressing than I remembered. But I agree that it has a very catchy chorus.

Your one sounds familiar but I can't place it (yet).

Sorry Paul for ' pipping you to the post ' :^o or ' being the loony ( me not you ) that gets the toony '. :lol: :wink:

If it makes you feel any better, to begin with, I thought, " sounds familiar but I can't place it ... yet. " :fsbgrin:

I'll wait now until I have the all clear from Sheena. :)

Thank you Sheena. :)

When I came home this afternoon, Richard was painting and listening to this song and so I thought, why not.

No matter Peter, you were still fastest on the draw. :) =D>

I tried to pick one line of the lyrics that would provide everyone with some gentle, mental gymnastics, before the inevitable, " Of course! "

Your turn.

Not me, it's that damn autocorrect. :twisted: I know I typed "stayin'". And I looked this time and had to take out the added "g". #-o

Slightly off topic, but for those of you who missed Grobi's post on the Jokes thread, look at:

Sorry Paul, no.

It is a decade earlier than Crocodile Rock.

I had to look up Jumpin' Jive, and I am not sure what date to give it, but it is still wrong. :lol:

Only a decade?

"...the joint is jumping..." sticks in my head as something from Louis Armstrong... or perhaps Cab Calloway. Then again, maybe Fats Waller.

But I can't quite get it. :oops:

==========

EDIT: okay, the song I was thinking of is... wait for it... "The Joint is Jumpin' " by Fats Waller, recorded in 1936, but it doesn't have the words "Really somethin' ".

No, it is early (1961) rock and roll.

I have seen the lyrics stated as "Really somethin' when they join in jumpin'", but I have never heard that in the song, and my original version is the correct one! [-(

I gave up and googled it. And then I listened to it on YouTube.

I can honestly say that I don't remember ever hearing that song before and I never heard of the group.

But I see from Wikipedia and that the song is used by Fox Sports during broadcasts of a particular event in the US, so it's probably fairly well know in the States. Don't think it was ever a hit on this side of the Atlantic.

Anyway, with all that additional information, maybe one of our American members will recognise the song. Apologies for hijacking the thread.
