Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

In 6th grade calypso became all the rage and it was all his fault
!!,
a one man game changer!

This is off her first album.
This is about as coy as one girl can get.
This song is a mystery one young lady is determined to solve.

This song is a whole big bunch of fun for me.":O)






Lyrics

How come he don't come and PLP with me
Down at the meter no more?
And how come he turn off the TV?
And he hang that sign on the door?
We call and we call
"How come?" we say
Hey, what could make a boy behave this way?
So he has learnt all of the lines now
And every time, he don't stutter when he talks
It's true! It's true!
He sure has acquired this kinda cool
And inspired sorta jazz when he walks
Where's his jacket and his old blue jeans?
Well, this ain't healthy, it is some kinda clean
That means
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love
I don't believe what you're saying to me
This is something that I've got to see
Is he here?
I look in the poolhall
Well, is he here?
I look in the drugstore
Is he here?
No, he don't come here no more
I'll tell you what, I saw him
He was sitting behind us down in the pantages
And whatever it is that he's got up his sleeve
Well, I hope it isn't contagious
What's her name?
Is that her there?
Oh, Christ, I think he's even combed his hair
Is that her?
Well, then what's her name?
Oh, it's never gonna be the same
But that's not her
I know what's wrong
'Cause Chuck E.'s in love
With the little girl singin' this song
Don't you know?
Chuck E.'s in love, yeah yeah
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love, my my
Chuck E.'s in
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love
He's in love
Love with me

Coyness in women is something I've long admired.
I see it as the art of getting someone to say something you want to hear. Past cultural restrictions on what was proper for a woman to say has made them particularly adroit at being coy.
A near perfect example

A moment in time. Stay with it if your a fan of true romance.":O)

I went looking for the original hit, but when I found this i was charmed into a change

Breathless!

If only they could do the twist! LOL

I know I've posted this before, some songs just keep returning you to the first time you heard it.

Well the snow has melted ... a bit, but I maybe rushing things a bit.

Yeah...maybe me too.

My favorite version:

When I was around 12 I had a gay fried Who assured me the the YMCA was the place to meet and greet older guys.
I can't believe how many years passed before I understood what he was talking about. Thss song might have helped me along the road to diversity.":O}
