Carl Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 You know, the Junior Walker song. We've never gotten a good handle on this one. Any idea of what this song is about, or if Walker is still around for us to track down? Here are the lyrics: said,Shotgun shoot em for he runs now Do the jerk baby Do the jerk now Hey! Put on your red dress And then you go downtown now I said buy yourself a shotgun now We're gonna break it down baby now We're gonna load it up baby now And then you shoot him for he runs now I said,Shotgun shoot em for he runs now Do the jerk baby Do the jerk now Hey! [instrumental sax] I said,Shotgun shoot em for he runs now Do the jerk baby Do the jerk now Hey! Put on your high heels shoes I said we're goin' down here listen to em play blues We're gonna dig potatoes We're gonna pick tomatoes I said,Shotgun shoot em for he runs now Do the jerk baby Do the jerk now Hey! I said it's Twine Time I said it's Twine Time I said it's Twine Time Hey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 This is the use of saxophone as social conscience and political weapon, an in-depth analyses of the coexistence of good and evil; based on the works of Jane Austen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I didn't know it was a dance. There seem to be some Bluesy references in there that I thought might mean something, but maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Just for fun, check out this list of 60s dances. An interesting aspect to Shotgun is that it makes reference to both The Jerk ( "Do The Jerk, baby ") and The Twine ("It's Twine Time ") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
