PLEASE - a little more about your "discovery."
Sincerely,
You HAVE a clue...most are lacking.
Could a freshman (19yo) university student follow your posting to its "primary source?" |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: At the Hop (Danny & the Juniors) +parody From: Jim Dixon Date: 07 Oct 11 - 12:45 PM I listened to the songs on Spotify and transcribed them myself. In the case of AT THE HOP, I also did a bit of research to get publication data and see how other people had transcribed the lyrics, but the final decision was mine, based on what I hear. |

Subject: Lyr Add: AT THE FLOP (Homer & Jethro) From: Jim Dixon Date: 06 Oct 11 - 07:39 PM AT THE FLOP As sung by Homer and Jethro At the flop. At the flop. Ever'body wants to hop when they're full o' soda pop at the flop Hit the floor by the score. Feet are sore, that's fer shore, at the flop. If you trip the light fantastic, don't depend on cheap elastic at the flop. Let's go to the flop. (4x) There's a lot o' lollygaggin' an' a lot o' jitterbaggin' at the flop. They're a-singin' an' a-pickin' there's a lot o' chicken-flickin' at the flop. They're a-runnin' at the wall an' they're a-squallin' an' a-fallin' at the flop. Now the party's getting' rough; ever'body's hittin' snuff at the flop. Let's go to the flop. (4x) Oh, they flip 'em an' they flop 'em but they never ever drop 'em at the flop. Girls who weigh about a ton never have any fun at the flop. If they eat a lot o' sweets they develop bigger seats at the flop. Dig you now and plant you later, like a big ol' sweet potater at the flop. Let's go to the flop. (4x) Ever'body is a-groovin' 'cause they been a-scooter-poopin' at the flop. [Jitterbaggin' I figure is just a comical alteration of jitterbugging. But what the heck is scooter-poopin'?] |
