I am not a yo yo!

Wham! Wake me up before you go go

AKE ME UP BEFORE YOU GO-GO
Wham

Jitterbug

Jitterbug

Jitterbug

Jitterbug

You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts
Jitterbug into my brain
Goes a bang-bang-bang 'til my feet do the same
But something's bugging you
Something ain't right
My best friend told me what you did last night
Left me sleepin' in my bed
I was dreaming, but I should have been with you instead.

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah)

You take the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Turned a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same

'Cause you're my lady, I'm your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on, baby, let's not fight
We'll go dancing, everything will be all right

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah, baby)

(Jitterbug)
(Jitterbug)

Cuddle up, baby, move in tight
We'll go dancing tomorrow night
It's cold out there, but it's warm in bed
They can dance, we'll stay home instead

(Jitterbug)

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't you dare to leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Take me dancing

(Boom-boom-boom)

6. For such a perky, fluffy little song, it has some WICKED bass on it!
The bass is what really makes that song.

7. Great trumpet section too
for those who like that sort of thing.

I miss the days when a pop group could have a horn section.

9. Ya know what other song has a wicked bottom line?
or songs,as it may be.

"I Knew You Were Waiting For Me" --George Michael and Aretha Franklin
"The Promise" - Howard Jones. KILLER guitar solo in that one.

11. Hotel California
Think (Aretha Franklin)
The Peter Gunn Theme

there are many songs that are notable for their excellent basslines.

12. "What's Going On."
Listen to that tune and remind yourself that James Jamerson plucks all of that with just ONE finger (it was known as "The Hook"). Guys playing today with 6 and 8-string basses and 'ol James was just plucking along, on an old Jazz bass, with his index finger, and the rest of his right hand is just along for the ride!
