I heard "Do the LOCOmotion" on the radio today

Edited on Wed Jun-23-04 08:28 PM by Rabrrrrrr

What a stupid song. I'd like to say that humanity has evolved since then, but we haven't. Ouch.

Songs that are about a dance that never existed until the song appeared make me quiver with the creeps, and shudder internally as though my psyche had been sucked into a whirling doom-filled vortex of a mood ring-created black hole.

1. What's worse is that someone saw fit to REMAKE IT!

Now, excuse me - I've got to go dance the "Velcro Fly".

4. A remake of it, eh?

Ouch.

Have fun with the velcro fly. I'm going to do "the hustle" then throw myself into a chipper shredder in defeat.

2. What a classic!

Sometimes people read to much into things & should just enjoy & have fun. :)

3. Not one of Carole King's best

Apparently she thought enough of it to let her baby sitter record it.

5. The World Has Changed a Lot Since 1962

I was nine when Little Eva's Locomotion was released, and I thought it was pretty good. You have to remember that many songs were written around dances, and this was no exception.

6. If you mean Little Eva's original, you're WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

It's a wonderful, wonderful record for which I always crank up the volume. :headbang:

Grand Funk and Kylie Minogue, on the other hand.... :puke:

10. I like it

the Grand Funk Railroad version you can punt off, by the way...I just happen to like the whole early-mid 60s "girl group" genre...even sappier songs like "It's My Party" by Leslie Gore...

And I'd say we've evolved a little...has anybody covered or have you heard on the radio lately "He Hit Me (But it Felt Like a Kiss)" by the Crystals?
