You can bop and birdland, too
You're a swell shing-a-linger
You can rock and sock and birdland, too
Well you look just like your mama
But you sure swing a sweet little shoe
They can bop until Sunday
And they'll never bop like you
They can bop a month of Sundays
And they'll never bop a bit like you
Well you talk just like your daddy
But you do swing a sweet little shoe
So hey, let's do that shuffle thing
That we worked out together
Come on girl and fan my flame
Shake a tail feather
Ladies in the neighborhood are
Talking about a scandal
All this funky folderol is
Just too hot to handle now
I got some brand new school shoes
And they are killing my feet
I got some shiny, new school shoes
And man, these things are murder on my feet
They might look nice in Sunday school
But they're no good for dancing in the street
Soooo boring
My condolences. Get a life.
Irresistably toe tapping. and the outro guitar is pure genius. It should have been allowed to go on longer. A 10 from me! This track / album is unfortunately not available on Spotify or Quobuz by the way.
Apparently it is now available on Spotify in Canada.
Jesse could write, play and sing incredibly well. His voice is breathtaking and heartbreaking. If he had not moved from the U.S. to my hometown of Montreal to avoid the Vietnam War draft, he would have been an even bigger star. He is a musician's musician. A one-off.
Or he might have been shot in a rice paddy.

He played a song (Sham-A-Ling-Dong-Ding) on Elvis Costello's superb but short lived TV show, Spectacle, that made Neko Case cry on stage. Goose bumps, every time.
Find it on YouTube!
This tune just kicks it. Played live the whole house will be in motion. Addictive groove.
Jesse was such a bad ass. Left us way too soon.
I'm at an 8 now and might stay there....Long Live RP!!
