Okay, I have heard this song - "Born To Hand Jive" from the movie Grease (1978), 75 times, easy. I am listening to it now, as a matter of fact. It's a lot of fun. But the harmonies and rhythms are so much fun, it is easy to miss the lyrics. So I was curious and I googled the lyrics! Woah! Some subliminal stuff going on there! Not dirty, but ever so carefully and cleverly risque! Sha na na, indeed!
Of course, it's possible that everybody who knows this song already was aware of it.
Read below, if you dare...
Before I was born, late one night, my papa said everything's alright
The doctor paid, mama laid down, with a semitone bouncing all around
'Cause the bebop stork was about to arrive
Mama gave birth to the hand-jive
I could barely walk when I moved to town, when I was three, I pushed a plow
While chopping wood I move my legs, and I started the dance while I gathered eggs
Bowed and clapped, I was only five
And I danced 'em all, he's born to hand-jive
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah - everybody
Born to hand-jive, baby, born to hand-jive, baby - yeah
How low can you go, how low can you go, how low can you go, how low can you go
Higher, higher, higher and higher
Now can you hand-jive, baby, oh can you hand-jive, baby
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, born to hand-jive, oh yeah!
